Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)

Yeah, probably a Widevine issue. I believe phones with custom ROM aren’t able to pass certification

Is there anyway to spoof the certification¿?

Just steal it.

F1tv had been garbage tier 2nd class so for years now.

You also might try f1 multi viewer and see if that works.

F1 multiviewer is only for desktop as far as I know. I already use it.

Just steal it.

Any “sources” that you can suggest will be helpful

It’s on most of the sports stealing sites. There was also a reddit sub dedicated to it. Not sure if it’s still around but it’s probably worth a search. I get the service for free and don’t have the same restrictions so I’m not really up to date on the current methods 😑

Almost always has the races and qualifying, sometimes has practice, probably won’t have testing though

I’ve been having issues for over a year now, even providing logs etc. But no luck. I’ve just accepted using the browser (in desktop mode), which works fine with presumably the same DRM. Their app even started crashing my phone at some point when using a chromecast

Well that is disappointing. DRM is truly a blight on the world
