Saving watch state for videos

While I'm aware this might be a slightly niche feature.
I'd love if the app could save the current watch-state for videos – there are times I rewatch races, but can't watch from start to finish, so a Continue watching segment on the home screen of the app would be absolutely amazing.
Looks like the F1TV now saves the watch state, as far as I can see this is not stored in a cookie or other local storage so perhaps this value is accessible via the "API", and you could tap into that (?)
Thx for the info, I didn't know it was saving it on the desktop. I looked in the api and in fact yes, there is a value that stores the current play head location. I already got it to resume playback at the location and send the timestamp to the server when you pause/close the player. However the server returns an OK response when I want to set the time stamp but it's not saving it right now. So I'll need to analyze the web player a bit more but I call it for today, already spent 2 hours trying to debug this.
Do you by any chance know if it saves the current state on the apps or not?
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to restore the playback position in the apps (yet).
