YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A CASH PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IF YOU HAD A FORMULA 1 ACCOUNT AND ACCESSED FORMULA1.COM, F1TV.FORMULA1.COM, OR ANY FORMULA 1 APPLICATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND WATCHED A PRE-RECORDED VIDEO BETWEEN MAY 1, 2022 AND JUNE 24, 2025

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Formula One Digital Media Limited (“Defendant” or “Formula 1”) which alleged that Formula 1 disclosed its subscribers’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) to a third party without consent—in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”). The VPPA defines PII to include information which identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video materials or services from a video tape service provider. The case is Gutierrez et al. v. Formula One Digital Media Ltd., Case No. 2025LA00000329, currently pending in the Circuit Court of Lake County, Nineteenth Judicial Circuit (Illinois). The proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Formula 1 and it denies that it violated the law. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Rather, to save the time, expense, and uncertainty of litigation, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit.
If you had a Formula 1 account and accessed any Formula 1 Digital Properties (formula1.com, f1tv.formula1.com, any subdomains, or any Formula 1 applications) in the United States and watched a pre-recorded video between May 1, 2022, and June 24, 2025 you may be a class member and eligible to receive a cash payment of up to $17.00, subject to pro rata adjustment depending on the number of filed Approved Claims.
