Looking for pubs to watch F1! I’ve had to stop streaming the races illegally, and a Sky subscription is pretty pricey. Does anyone know of any local pubs that show F1?

I found that the Boat House in Wallingford is the closest option, which is a bit of a journey but could make for a fun day. Are there any other places nearby?
