Great, now F1TV has become completely useless to me, as I rarely watch Grand Prix sessions live...
The alternatives are either:
We Germans had this a few years ago. Sky Ticket was more expensive than Sky Q and offered less. I went with an IPTV Sky Box in year 2, because Sky Ticket was cheaper in the first year. The IPTV Box does kinda suck though. I get Free TV in HD for free but no ability to record and no 4K and HDR option, though it even got announced a while back.
To be fair, Sky has some exclusive series or at least exclusive for a year or so, so its not a total waste. And you still get ads (I don't speak about the sponsors on track). At least not during a race but right after the race during the inlap.
