The F1 Kids broadcast returns in 2024 for the Bahrain, Monaco, British, Dutch, Singapore, Brazil, and Abu Dhabi GPs! People have been talking about it, mainly as a joke, but it's genuinely a fun watch.
The main difference is different commentators (depending on where/how you watch it) and more colourful, fun graphics (of the drivers, fun facts, team radios, etc etc). There's also simplified explanations which might seem like basic knowledge, but do remember it's made for kids.
It broadcasts via:
Supersport (Africa)
BeIN Sports (Asia, Middle East & North Africa, Turkey)
Foxtel/Kayo/Fox sports (Australia)
Fox sports (Mexico)
Bell Media (Canada)
Viaplay (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Iceland)
ANT1+ (Greece)
ESPN (Latin America, the Caribbean, USA)
Sky Sports (UK)

Thoughts on monaco as an overall race track?
I usually don't like street circuits but as an overall race track, I do think Monaco is pretty good. I like how challenging the circuit is with the elevation changes and the tight hairpin turn, and also it's just nice to look at.
The race this year was boring because the pit stops under the red flag meant a lull in strategy and movement in the top 10 spots. The size of the cars and the narrowness of the track doesn't help either since it's now nearly impossible to overtake without risking contact.
But I don't think this makes the circuit itself bad. Qualifying was great, other motorsports (and formula feeder series) have raced with more entertaining results, and even if it's notoriously hard to overtake there's usually better strategy to make up for it.
I think smaller/narrower cars would definitely make the race more competitive, but I don't see that happening in the near future. A change in layout to make it possible to overtake more in certain turns would be helpful too, but I'm no track designer though so I've got no clue if that's actually possible.
If I'm super honest, I would trade Monaco for the return of tracks like Sepang. But by itself, it can definitely be enjoyable and I like it.
I think that "Yes!" is the most emotion we'll ever hear from him in the car

Thinking about how Logan will be practically erased for the rest of the season...there's probably a ton of content he filmed for COTA and grill the grid, etc. that won't ever be released now :(
Just found out that Logan sargeant withdrew from ELMs. When will the horrors end
