OP and Twitter poster here. You can see in the screenshot that the channel name "FORMULA 1" and the channel photo match the official Formula 1 channel's name and photo [1].

Additionally, the YouTube search algorithm heavily prioritizes the official F1 channel since it's a verified channel. Surprisingly, the Android YouTube app does not seem to show the checkmark for verified channels, otherwise that would have been one more way to confirm my finding. Unfortunately, I was not able to find the same video when I retried the search from a non-mobile device.
