Paywall is fine. I'll pay for a product. But the price has to be reasonable. To get F1 in the UK, you need various packages and services. That becomes a lot.

for sure they way they bundle their channel line ups is a problem and agree the bigger issue (for me anyways) are the high price points that also come with the limitations typically associated with cable subscriptions.
but i guess if i am confused by anything, it is that they still seem to be having the same debate between FTA vs paywall.
after a year in, i was hoping to see them make a significant announcement towards offering more hybrid solutions.
offer some races for free globally via facebook or twitter (akin to what the NFL has done with twitter) or a deal with netflix or amazon (perhaps for live broadcasts but at least for full replays).
more choices on how and when to watch via multiple platforms/mediums and at every price point ranging from free to pay with all the bells and whistles.
