Formula One World Championship is one of the grandest, most expensive, and most popular sports championships in the world. Although it is very niche based, it manages to woo a large section of society who identify themselves as automobile enthusiasts.
Up until last year, Disney+Hotstar used to host the streaming of the grand sports event. But things have changed and not in a very positive manner. You must be aware that things are not going great for Disney+Hotstar. They lost the streaming rights of IPL, they are also going to lose the hosting of all those mammoth HBO shows.
Now, it is the chance for the Formula One World Championship. The streaming rights have shifted to F1 TV which is extremely expensive in the context of the Indian market.
This change has disappointed the users and they are stamping it out at Disney+Hotstar. But, it might just be the internal decision of F1 to keep the streaming rights only to themselves.
Whatever the situation may be, the problem lies in keeping the trust of the audience stuck to Disney+Hotstar. They single-handedly dominate the Indian OTT and to keep that dominance alive, some major steps need to be taken. Let’s see how Disney+Hotstar does that.
