Is F1 TV Safe for Kids?
Age rating is set by Google Play, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with Formula One Digital Media Limited.
What F1 TV's age rating means
F1 TV holds a family-friendly Classificação 10 anos rating on the Google Play. It is broadly appropriate, but a low age rating does not remove every risk: check whether it has chat, ads, or in-app purchases below.
Things for parents to check
- F1 TV offers in-app purchases. Without a purchase password or spending limit, a child can run up charges. Set up Ask to Buy (iOS) or a Play purchase PIN (Android).
- F1 TV shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.

On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it.
