Confirmed, just tried with 2 different VPN providers and cannot access last weeks race replay now.

Exclusive broadcast rights will cease to be a thing when consumers stop participating and watching these broadcasts, but most are unwilling to cease consuming the content long enough to have an impact on the bottom line which is the only thing they care about.
