Perhaps sense of entitlement was the wrong phrase and i apologise if that caused any offence but it just puzzles me that people feel that F1 should be FTA when no other major sport is FTA. Why would F1 not move towards a PPV model in other countries when its been proven to generate a large amount of money, after all thats why Liberty bought it.
I can see the point of view that losing FTA coverage helps to reinforce the falling viewership figures and i agree that it doesn't help but i think a large part of that can also be attributed to the "show" that we have now.
Regardless, its a shame for everyone who enjoys watching the sport who now wont be able to.
