If you try to access F1TV via a VPN from your country where F1TV Pro is not available (like the UK) it will no longer play the full race videos and displays an geographical error code..

@Vormuk so the issue is in some countries F1 TV is not available. People would then pay for the service and still have to use a VPN to access the service. Now this seems to be not an option? That's pretty shitty. They can play it off like they have no control all they like. This is a shit move for people who want access.
Yes basically. Here in the UK. Yoi cam access f1TV for some live data, but not watch the actual race. Even after it's finished. So we have to VPN to another country in order to both buy F1TV Pro access and utilise that access. That has now been block.
