Next up is the Netherlands. RTL is not bidding anymore on the broadcasting rights and F1 moves to the pay channel Sport 1.

After we lost the quality coverage of the BBC this year (yes, we preferred to watch that one over the Dutch one) we now lose our own 'free' coverage as well.
The extra costs for me will be relatively small at 10 euro/month, but that's still 6 euros per race.

Same is happening in France: TF1 aren't sure they still want F1 and Canal+ is trying to outbid them.

Positive side: TF1 is crap.

The list grows longer and longer.
Netherlands
England
Italy
France

I will not be shelling out extra cash, I can receive RTL Germany, so I'll get my German up so I can watch there. The other half via BBC. IF I was a new watcher, I certainly would not buy a subscription. How is Sky doing anyway?

At least you guys don't have to shell out extra cash, and then wake up at 7 in the morning to watch the races.

You can add Cyprus and Greece on that list.
For a couple of years now, I pay 50 euro/month for coverage that includes only quali & race, lots of ads & the worst commentators in the world. :well:

You can add Scotland, Wales, and NI to the list too. :wave:
