I'd pay
Fair enough, but it's not reasonable to expect Average Joe to pay to watch a heavily sponsored competition !! It's in the advertisers' interests that people can watch it for free.

Generalising here: Young people watch F1, but not via a television. Save €150 per year on digital TV, save another €150 expensive channel. Just watch it on free livestreams. That's how "we" are used to watching, with YouTube and Twitch.

So who do people think is going to run and participate in this new 'free' F1? The current model is there to maximize the income. Without that income there would not be F1 because they've moved the 'sport' to a multi-billion dollar business.
The question is not about how to get young people to watch F1, it's about how to get young people to pay through the nose to watch F1.

Haven't watched F1 on a proper "TV Channel" in years bar the odd occasion if it's pub time friendly. After a long week of work, Saturday and Sunday morning watching from bed, sky player stream from the laptop, with the extended desktop on the AppleTV on the 40" (or whatever size it is). Before Sky, it was live streams. I once paid 20 euro to watch one MotoGP race. What a waste of money that is. I'm in Ireland, I have BT Sport on my Sky Subscription... yet I can't goddamn watch the MotoGP on the BT Sport online stream! Ludicrous. I'm a paying BT Sport customer, yet I have to resort to watching illegal live streams. BTSport aren't going to get me out of bed on my day off!
