Any race fans watching F1TV pro using a media box -- like a Roku or Fire stick, or Xiaomi mi box?

I ask because my raspberry pi doesn't want to work on Netflix anymore. So thinking of getting something easier... And thought huh, already use F1TV pro from a laptop, should try to get a 'stick' that does it too...

But...

Reading online Roku is supported... But only in the USA. Android is supported... But not on a TV.

I need some reassurance that some is actually using a media player to actually see live F1 on F1TV pro, actually IN South Africa! Any affirmation from a petrol head?

I'm using the Xiaomi Mi Box S, and it works perfectly. You can pick it up at Takealot for about R1100.

Mi box ordered. Thanks for your help everyone.

All the "get an Apple TV" "assistance"... I'm watching on F1TV pro, not DStv (i.e. I don't throw money down the drain ;) )
 
Those of you watching on the Mi Box, how do you do that? Cast from your phone or is there now a F1TV APP for AndroidTV ?
 
From 1997 the team raced as:
West McLaren Mercedes
2006 - Team McLaren Mercedes
2007 - Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
2015 - McLaren Honda
Since 2018 they have competed simply as McLaren

That document, however, refers to them as McLaren Mercedes.......
I doubt that the FIA would make such a stupid mistake in a legal document.

FIA delays results of financial analysis until Monday

Citing a "long and complex process" the FIA will not now release details of its analysis of the teams' financial submissions until Monday 10 October.
www.pitpass.com

As the sport held its breath, with the outcome of the 2021 world championship seemingly at stake, the FIA has once again scored a spectacular own goal.

Days after it was claimed that Red Bull and Aston Martin had exceeded the budget cap leading to fears that the result of its investigation could turn the sport on its head, the sport's governing body has admitted that it needs more time to analyse the data.

“The analysis of financial submissions is a long and complex process that is ongoing and will be concluded to enable the release of the Certificates on Monday, 10 October," it said in a brief statement.


With Red Bull having submitted its financial submission in March one wonders why the FIA needs another 5 days to finalise its findings.

The FIA's fill statement reads as follows:

"The FIA informs that the conclusion of the analysis of the 2021 financial submissions of the Formula 1 teams and the subsequent release of Certificates of Compliance to the Financial Regulations will not take place on Wednesday, 5 October. The analysis of financial submissions is a long and complex process that is ongoing and will be concluded to enable the release of the Certificates on Monday, 10 October.

"The Financial Regulations were agreed unanimously by all Competitors, who have worked positively and collaboratively with the FIA Cost Cap Administration throughout this first year under the Financial Regulations.

"As previously communicated, there has been significant and unsubstantiated speculation and conjecture in relation to this matter, and the FIA reiterates that until it is finalised, no further information will be provided. The FIA also reiterates that any suggestion that FIA personnel have disclosed sensitive information is equally baseless."

The delay will do nothing to assuage the feelings of those who have lost faith in the FIA, with many having doubted its ability to police the budget cap in the first place.

Time and time again this season we have seen the FIA drag its heels and only last Sunday it took almost three hours to confirm that Sergio Perez' race win stood... then again, when the 2021 world championship titles could yet be turned on their heads...

Despite fans frustration, and the obvious mud-slinging that will continue this weekend, at least we can draw comfort from the fact that it will make a great cliff-hanger for at least one episode of Drive to Survive.

In a sport still recovering from the shambles that was Abu Dhabi, and a governing body already tarnished by the "agreement" with Ferrari following the investigation into its 2019 engine, this does nothing to restore faith. Indeed, it only adds to the feeling that there is something rotten at the very heart of the sport.

Everything work on an Ematic. F1tv, Disney, Netflix etc.
 
Personally I don't see how three more working days will make any difference other than delay the findings until after the Japanese GP.

It could be so that the GP is not overshadowed by the findings.
It could be that FIA are helping Honda save face at their home circuit if RB are guilty.
It could of course be at the request of NETFLIX so that it builds suspense in the DTS episodes......

But most likely it is to give time to negotiate a quite settlement and brush it under the carpet as FIA have a history of doing.

What was your previous conspiracy theory? That RB was cheating with a flexible floor and they would be nowhere after the rule change? LOL now they even more dominant.
But keep coming with your conspiracies, its great entertainment.

Nothing will come of this. Sure of that. If nothing happened after the "human error" nothing will happen in this case.
