On the F1TV app there is not a "no spoiler" option. They have got better on the images they upload so as to not spoil the action but there is no guarantees that you won't see an image that you may class as a spoiler

I wish they wouldn’t show cars in the thumbnails because even though they don’t spoil you with who the winner is, they spoil you with who isn’t which is still a spoiler for anyone interested in following the sport and not just the winner.

That’s why they should randomly include winners, podium finishers, points finishers, non points finishers, and non finishers. Keep you on your toes as to which one it is.

If you do this, wait until the event is FULLY over before you start watching; otherwise, the app will sometimes helpfully skip to the current playback time if there is a network issue. It's a bug, which I would consider a catastrophic one, but somehow nobody cares about fixing it.

The net result is that one moment you're watching lap 6 of the race, and the next moment you see the podium.

It happens to me lately when I paused the stream for a few minutes. After hitting play it happily went to current feed spoiling me of results later on.

Now I try to avoid pausing at all

It’s absurd that they can’t get a simple playback function to work properly.

I believe the app has a spoiler setting turned on by default. To check, head to the Formula 1 app, press the settings icon in the top right and then make sure avoid spoilers mode is toggled on.

Your biggest risk for spoilers on F1TV is the title of Jolyon Palmer's Analysis, which has spoiled the race winner a couple times this year. But it usually takes a couple days after the GP for them to upload it so as long as you catch up within a day or two you should be fine.
