At the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, F1TV started limiting the amount of concurrent streams you could watch with F1TV pro (the highest subscription plan in 2024). At the start of the 2025 season, F1TV implemented a new highest plan called F1TV premium, which would allow you to watch up to 4 streams at once on 1 screen (basically a multiviewer) and other included features.

| F1's Crackdown on Multi-Streaming and Introduction of "Premium" Plan | 2025 | For years, subscribers to F1TV Pro, the highest-tier subscription, enjoyed flexible access to live streams of Formula 1 content, with some fans using a third-party mod (Multiviewer for F1) to watch multiple onboards or feeds simultaneously. This feature wasn't officially supported, but it became popular among dedicated fans who wanted a more immersive race experience. | At the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, F1TV restricted concurrent streams on F1TV Pro, effectively blocking fans from using the multiviewer workaround. At the same time, F1TV launched a new, more expensive tier called F1TV Premium, which included "official" multiviewer functionality (up to 4 feeds at once) alongside a few extra perks.[1] Fans saw this move as artificially limiting features they previously enjoyed, then repackaging them behind a new paywall.[2] | ||
