ESPN Plus

Carries the the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the US

ESPN's stand-alone streaming service is great for casual fans of F1 and is a must-have for fanatics. It costs $12 a month or $120 a year.

If you're an F1 fan who's also looking to get your Disney fix, the Disney trio bundle (Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus) might be an even better buy. It's great for fans who love catching the parts of the race weekend that typically air on ESPN2 or ESPNews, and who also want the latest Marvel movies or Star Wars shows.

If you're a diehard fan of motorsports and Formula Series racing, ESPN Plus might not be for you, given that it rarely covers F2, F3 or Porsche Supercar racing. That's why ESPN Plus is ideal for casual fans who enjoy catching a race every once in a while or fans who don't want or need all of the extra bells and whistles of F1 TV but want to beef up their coverage options.
