And yes Joe Saward has been arguing (or wishing) for a change back to FTA.

You can also add Autosport to that, although ironically their thoughts on the topic are hidden behind a pay wall.

Yes the viewing numbers are greater but their financial position is much worse.Liberty said something at that conference along the lines of accepting what FTA could pay was basically giving that income stream away.I would love a F1 coverage as good as we are getting on Foxtel on FTA but it isn't going to happen.After the current deal expires I'm sure there will be streaming options available as an alternative to pay TV but either way you will be paying.
