“Where to Enjoy F1 Races at a Pub?”

Looking for pubs to catch F1?

Unfortunately, I’m no longer able to stream F1 illegally, and a Sky subscription is just too pricey for me. Can anyone recommend any pubs in the area that show the races?

I did a quick search and found that the Boat House in Wallingford is the closest option. It’s a bit of a journey, but it could be a fun day trip. Are there any pubs closer that anyone can suggest?
