Nog geen witte rook bij Viaplay: Waarom duurt aankondiging F1 zo lang?

De knoop is door Formula One Management (FOM) al enige tijd geleden doorgehakt: Viaplay blijft ook tot en met eind 2029 de Formule 1 rechtstreeks uitzenden in Nederland. Toch op de officiële aankondiging is het nog steeds wachten. Waarom het allemaal zo lang duurt? Het zou ermee te maken kunnen hebben dat Viaplay nog geen bankgarantie voor een deel van het aankoopbedrag heeft weten neer te leggen.

Het is volkomen normaal dat een uitzendgemachtigde niet bij het afsluiten van een nieuw contract het volledige bedrag al op tafel legt. In het geval van de Formule 1 – waar wordt gesproken over een vijfjarige deal van ongeveer vijftig miljoen euro per jaar – is er geen partij die in de kluis een kwart miljard heeft liggen. Wel is het gewoon dat er een aanbetaling volgt, plus een bankgarantie wordt afgegeven voor de rest van het bedrag.

Viaplay – dat geen enkele mededeling doet over de status van de onderhandelingen – zou op dit moment proberen met adverteerders deals te maken voor de gehele looptijd van het F1-contract, waarmee snel cash gemaakt kan worden. Daarmee is deels de aanbetaling te doen. Voor de rest van het bedrag in het contract is er dus die bankgarantie, maar naar verluidt zijn partijen niet zo huiverig om die te verlenen gezien de wankele financiële situatie van het moederbedrijf in Scandinavië. Dat stelt tenminste TotaalTV.

Verstappen garandeert Viaplay inkomsten

Aan de andere kant is ook bekend dat zolang Max Verstappen in de Formule 1 actief is, inkomsten in Nederland gegarandeerd zijn. Het is ook geen geheim dat Viaplay in Nederland een winstgevende onderneming is, wat in het voordeel van de streamingdienst moet spreken. Een investeerder als Canal+ – die een belang in Viaplay heeft – is er bijvoorbeeld alles aan gelegen om de dienst in Nederland in de lucht te houden, want dankzij Viaplay NL is de miljoeneninvestering van enkele maanden geleden in elk geval op het oog eenvoudiger terug te verdienen dan met andere takken van de zender.

Viaplay zou nog enkele weken hebben om alle financiën rond te krijgen, iets waar de zender alles op alles voor zet. Tenslotte is Viaplay in Nederland zonder de Formule 1 ten dode opgeschreven. In het uiterste geval dat Viaplay de stekker uit de deal moet trekken, kunnen er verschillende scenario’s ontstaan. Het is mogelijk dat Ziggo Sport direct de rechten toebedeeld krijgt – mits daarvoor uiteraard de financiële zekerheden worden gegeven. Ook bij Ziggo is het geen uitgemaakte zaak dat dit lukt, want maandelijks verliest het bedrijf duizenden klanten aan glasvezelproviders als KPN en Delta.

Een andere optie is dat FOM de verkoop van de rechten van voren af aan start. In theorie kan ook Viaplay dan een nieuwe poging doen om – in tweede instantie – de uitzendrechten voor de Formule 1 binnen te halen.
