Formula 1 Agrees to $5.5M Privacy Settlement: Here's How to Claim Up to $17
If you’ve watched a Formula 1 video in the U.S. anytime between May 1, 2022 and June 24, 2025, you may be owed money.
Formula 1 has agreed to a $5.5 million class action settlement over allegations it illegally shared user viewing data without consent — a violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA).
💡 What Happened?
The lawsuit claims that Formula 1 shared user data — specifically, information about what videos were watched — with third parties, without notifying or getting permission from users. While F1 denies wrongdoing, they’ve agreed to settle.

💸 How Much Will You Get?
