I like using the app notifications to remind me when the race is, because in my busy life, I sometimes need that. However, if you turn on notifications, they do more than just remind you that practice, qualifying, or the race is about to begin, they also send notifications when the results are posted. Usually, they are cryptic “Come see who came out on top!” type notifications, but not this weekend. Now, as a Ferrari fan, I didn’t mind the results telling me how Ferrari was fairing in practice, as I knew I probably wasn’t going to go back and watch those—I have a busy life. However, the spoilers remained through Qualifying and the race. As someone with a F1 TV subscription so I can watch the race either when it airs, or after it ends (due to other more important engagements on Sunday’s that sometimes prevent me from watching live) I was quite peeved that the notification I received told me the race results. The banner notification should let me know that results are posted, so if I want to spoil the race for myself, I can, but not give me no option about it. After being very good for the entirety of the race and not opening timing and scoring, so I could go home and enjoy the race later, the F1 app ruined it for me. I’m deleting the app. It’s not worth it to me, and I suggest others do the same, or never download it in the first place.

I know the fantasy portion of this app isn’t its complete use, but it’s so incredibly hard and annoying to use with a handful of glitches for a business of this magnitude I would think it would receive some attention.

The fact that you have to dig through the app to find the fantasy section is difficult enough, but then that you have to login every time you hit the back button seems overly secure for an app that has no financial features.

You can’t change your team name because of a glitch the blocks the view of the type box. It’s slow beyond belief, the leader boards don’t update usually for more than 5 hours after a race and it’s overly clumsy to just move about the fantasy section. It’s actually a discussion every Sunday for the years we gotten together to watch F1… it’s amazing to all of that it can be this bad. It takes away from the whole experience just a little. I’ll speak for all us that we hope some effort and attention can be put into these features of the app for future use!

The incredible spectacle of F1, long the premier motorsport of the world, is now dead. The mantra of “let them race” doesn’t work without adherence to the agreed upon set of rules. This season was a dumpster fire of manipulation from every conceivable avenue. Pre-season changes that were meant to hobble the perennially dominant competitors is understandable for the sake of tightening up the competition. But major rule changes that were strategically deployed to significantly favor certain competitors mid-season to ratchet up the drama is disgraceful. Making rule changes (as well complete reversals of previously established rule interpretations) mid-race, multiple times, is appalling and unacceptable. Appeals from many teams to maintain long established standards of sportsmanship, safety, and professionalism were ignored in favor of boosting ratings via contrived drama, dangerous driving & tactics, harassment campaigns, and enabling a particular team principal’s petulant behavior to override safety procedures. This sport has become a farce.
