Tata Communications launches F1 TV mobile app

Tata Communications is the official connectivity provider for Formula 1. The company has now introduced a new F1 mobile app, which will enable fans to follow the racing action live on their smartphones.

With the F1 TV mobile app, fans can watch practice and qualifying sessions as well as the action on the race day live. The app offers users to choose from 20 driver cameras in addition to on and off-track footage. Press conferences and pre and post race interviews can also be viewed through this app.

F1 TV Pro - a premium version of the app will be available in more than two dozen countries including Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Belgium, Austria, Hungary and other Latin American countries. A subscription to F1 TV Pro costs around US$70-120 per year. F1 TV Access - a light version of the app will be available in almost all countries around the world.

Late last year, Tata Communications had successfully tested a 360-degree camera, which is supposed to be introduced in the 2018 season. Further, the company had also demonstrated the lag-free OTT(over-the-top) service back in 2015.
