For 2016, I have just obtained Crimson Crush F1's seeds in Anleterre at Suttons Seeds

I search gardeners to test the seeds 2015 In 2016.

I can tell you more than you really want to know about Crimson Crush F1

A person at another message site was sending out saved seeds for anyone who ordered varieties from him, as free seeds.

I'd never heardof that variety so Googled, and found out that it was an F1 and he was sending out F2 seeds telling them it was wonderful.

Genetic segregation? He never said a thing about it. He is from the UK and the only way to get the F1 was to buy 3 plugs ( plants) which is what he did, but never said so until I challenged him with the truth and he never responded. I could say he lied, he did, but it would be more gracious if I said he didn't tell the truth

Sutton's was making all sorts of claims for it as to almost total Late Blight resistance, and then I found a link to what the breeder of the variety said about that and here it is,
