Formula 1 Video Privacy Settlement
The Formula 1 video privacy settlement offered qualifying U.S. account holders up to $17 per approved claim, subject to proportional reduction, to resolve allegations about sharing video-viewing information without consent. The claim deadline was September 22, 2025, and new claims are closed. A final payment amount or distribution date has not been confirmed here.
Key facts
The Formula 1 video privacy settlement is closed to new claims. If you had a qualifying Formula 1 account and watched prerecorded videos in the United States, you may have been covered, but the deadline to submit a claim was September 22, 2025.
The lawsuit alleged that Formula One Digital Media Limited shared subscribers’ personally identifiable information tied to video viewing with a third party without consent, in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act. Formula 1 maintained that it obtained consent and denied violating the law. An agreement to settle does not establish that the allegations were true.
According to the court-authorized notice, the settlement covered qualifying account holders who accessed Formula 1 digital properties in the United States and watched a prerecorded video from May 1, 2022 through June 24, 2025. The listed services included formula1.com, f1tv.formula1.com, their subdomains, and Formula 1 mobile services. A timely valid claim was required for payment.
The published terms provided for up to $5.5 million to cover approved claims, notice and administration, legal fees and costs, and class representative awards. Approved claims could receive up to $17 each, with proportional reductions if necessary under the settlement cap. That amount was a maximum under the agreement, not a confirmed final payment.
The claim and exclusion deadlines were September 22, 2025. The notice scheduled a final approval hearing for October 30, 2025, but that scheduled date does not establish when final approval was entered or payments were issued. This page does not confirm a final payment amount, distribution date, or whether an individual claimant was paid.
The original administrator website now redirects to Epiq’s general website. You can review the court-authorized settlement notice and the historical claim form, preserved by ClassAction.org. These documents explain the original terms and are not an invitation to file a new claim.
Who may qualify
The notice covered people in the United States who had a Formula 1 account, accessed formula1.com, f1tv.formula1.com, a subdomain, or a Formula 1 mobile service in the United States, and watched a prerecorded video from May 1, 2022 through June 24, 2025. A timely valid claim was required for payment. The claim and exclusion deadlines were September 22, 2025.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you did not need proof of purchase. The claim form requested contact information, the email address associated with the Formula 1 account, and the notice Unique ID if available. Claimants had to attest under penalty of perjury that they met the account and U.S. prerecorded-video viewing requirements. No receipts or separate viewing records were requested on the paper form. Online filing used a notice ID and PIN. Claims are now closed. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Epiq is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
The claim window for this settlement has closed. You can still see which settlements are accepting claims now.
