TV rights in formula 1: ServusTV as an Option for German Motorsport Fans?
For German Motorsport Fans could, however, arise a kind of slip angle. So brings the Portal motorsport-total.com a possible involvement of the Austrian transmitter ServusTV into the game. It is a subsidiary of the Red Bull group of billionaire Dietrich Mateschitzthat, in turn, for years, a private Formula 1 Team maintains.

And yet the 76-year-old Mateschitz, who is friends with FC Bayern honorary President Uli Hoeness* castle, the acquisition of TV Rights at the prominent Motorsport series is not.
“Formula 1 Rights for a station is always interesting, but we can now say anything. We must wait and see how the ORF decides and what Sky power”, said Mateschitz at the time: “It just depends on the market situation. We observe, and which must always be interesting.“
Also DerStandard had an interest of ServusTV on the TV, and Streaming-marketing reports. Accordingly, the public service ORF his wool but TV rights to the formula 1 extend.
What does this mean for German Motorsport audience? Both the ORF as well as ServusTV in the South of the Republic part can be received. Just when watching via the Online media library is likely to be, however, the question of whether the Formula 1 Transmission outside of Austria locked would be.
It remains to be kinky and exciting.

Maybe it pulls a Vettel, but Ferrari’s rivals Mercedes, the Ferrari boss said recently about a change and surprised with a Hamilton statement.
In the area of football RTL currently has Transfer of rights the Countries games as well as for the Europa League and the new Europe Conference League.
