⚠️ This is a beta release intended for testing.
We have identified a provider-side change affecting Formula 1’s unofficial timing API. The historical archive now requires authentication, which affects features such as Replay Mode, replay downloads, archived telemetry, and team radio media.
We have implemented a fix that uses configured F1TV access for these features. Based on our current findings, an active paid F1TV subscription will be required for archive and replay functionality.
This beta also includes the experimental AI-powered Team Radio Transcription feature from v5.8.0-Beta.5

Restore replay downloads with F1TV authentication
The F1 Sensor integration now uses configured F1TV access for replay discovery, downloads, archive telemetry, and team radio while public live timing remains available without authentication. Team radio media is delivered through protected Home Assistant links, and authentication failures now provide actionable status. Fixes #869.BREAKING CHANGE: Replay Mode and Formula 1 archive media now require an active paid F1TV subscription with F1TV access configured in the integration. Users without it can continue using public live timing but cannot browse or download replays.
