Last time I checked MPC-BE couldn't open the F1TV streams, but that may have changed recently. I'll have to check again.

Ok, I got an error message like "failed to render the file" when trying to open the link in MPC-BE but it also fails to open with MPC-HC and VLC for me so I figured it wasn't related to the player. (I raised another issue regarding the failure to play with MPC-HC or VLC)
VLC should definitely work. I'll look into MPC-HC and MPC-BE soon.

Ok, Just found out that MPC-HC is being somewhat maintained here: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc
I couldn't find a download link for these releases but it seems to be part of the K-Lite codec pack: https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
And after installing that it works for me. MPC-BE has been my preferred media player for some time but I think MPC-HC is ok at least for F1 so I we can close this.
I also reinstalled VLC and that is working too now, no idea what the problem was but clearly it wasn't an issue with F1 Race Control.
@rsporsche The download links can be found on https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases I use MPC-HC with RaceControl without problems.
F1 Race Control supports MPC-HC and VLC as external players.
MPC-HC is no longer under development since 2017 (see https://mpc-hc.org/2017/07/16/1.7.13-released-and-farewell/)
MPC-BE is a media player based on MPC and MPC-HC which is still under development and I think it would be a good alternative.
