F1 only pay for view (not free to air)
Discussion
There is still plenty of live football on free to air TV and even the Premiership and the rest of the league is available free to air in highlights packages - so even hard up football fans can keep abreast of what's going on without having to pay through the nose.
If F1 survives on FTA in a highlights package (much as it used to be back in the late 1970s), that will be good enough for me.

I have to say that whenever I have listened to live BBC radio commentary, it always sounds far more exciting than live TV.
In my mind the cars are wheel to wheel, nip and tuck, all the race.
As they say, the pictures are always better on radio.
I like listening on the radio too...way better than seeing on TV.In my mind the cars are wheel to wheel, nip and tuck, all the race.

An F1 thread on a motorsport forum which everyone clicked on, yet everyone ignores F1 ??
Premium sports are no longer free, football hasn’t been for 20 years. Stop moaning about it.
Can't see anybody moaning on this thread. Like others I'm interested in F1 but not willing to pay the price or give up a chunk of my weekend to watch it. I usually listen on the radio whilst out on a long run if it's a Sunday afternoon race.Premium sports are no longer free, football hasn’t been for 20 years. Stop moaning about it.
I get F1 as part of my HD subscription. I would not be prepared to pay extra for Sky Sports to watch it. Probably would not bother with highlights shows either.
I would perhaps pay a little extra if Sky had a motor sport channel. I’m sure they don't understand that many motor sport enthusiasts have little interest in other sports.
