I have recently moved to Qatar and am in the midst of finalizing the sattelite package. I cant seem to find the channel which broadcasts Formula 1 here in Qatar as none of the available packages have Star Sports. I have spoken to a few agents around but the question still remains unanswered. Please help.

johnjo - they definitely showed it last year as I watched some of the races!

And judging from the F1 logo at the top of the Al Jazeera Sport web site it looks like they'll be showing this seasons races as well.

Al Jazeera 1 or 2 carries F1 practice, qualifying sessions and the race as well.  Unfortunately only in Arabic language.

 

None of the Showtime or Pehla / ART / Firstnet channels show Starsports in the Middleeast region due to terrestorial rights and that channel isn't supposed to be broadcasted in this region. However, I do get Starsports as I have Tatasky receiver imported from India

Al Jazeera Sports broadcast the formula 1 races last season (with Arabic commentary).

As for Star Sports you should definitely be able to get that as part of a package, though I'm not sure which one.
