I'll say it again, Sky Sports is the best thing to happen to f1 in the uk since the first live race back in 76.
I love the Sky broadcast. I really do. But IMO it’s not worth the money over what we got from the BBC before it or CH4 now at half the races UNLESS you may be into the football and all other coverage that is included in that price.
I watch football every 2 years on the Euro and World Cup (broadcasted on free tv) and i also watch Tennis (ticked again by free TV) and yes, F1 too - as long as i get to watch it on free TV too. I am not going to pay Sky for the 1.8 races a month. Sorry, i just cant, no matter how good that broadcast is, especially under the premise that it used to be free.
It’s a damn shame. I consider myself to be as hardcore a F1 fan can be, but it really stops there. If there was anability to simply pay for a live stream just F1, i’d probably consider that, but no way will i jutify paying for the entire sports couverage/subscription model if it’s only the F1 i want to watch on it.
Liberty and the rest of the F1 world is in for a rude awakening IMO, especially with the end of Channel4 broadcast and Italy about to give up too. I see a very bleak future coming - and sorry, F1 just doeant have the wide market appeal that football has. It’s motorsport.
