I guess this website uses widevine to process audio and video

I'm on Linux, but don't have access to the F1 TV subscription so I can't check.

However F1 TV uses Widevine DRM as stated here which seems to only have a Linux patch built into the browser.

If you want to watch content from your Windows machine, instead of using Thorium you can use RaceControl which seems to have a lot of great ratings, and is OpenSource. I can't guarentee it works, so I apologise if it doesn't.

I can confirm that it works perfectly on Linux but not on Windows and MacOS.
