The whole F1 show is so expensive.i think the £195.00 initially sounded fantastic but lists of loopholes like you have to cancel it after nine months. I’m hoping they will cut the price when they launch tomorrow. If not I’ll buy the individual passes

Fifth championship winning year something like 1.5 million viewers, so I believe now TV should tread very carefully and think less is more!!
It's Sky that should tread carefully (as you say), they are the parent company. Now TV is just it's pay per view streaming service.
I think where they could really come unstuck is when Hamilton retires, image the effect that's likely to have on UK viewing figures.

Sky have exclusive live UK F1 TV rights until 2024, so F1 Pro TV won't be available in the UK until that contract expires at the earliest.

the month pass £25.00
week pass £10.00
then take the free british gp on channel 4
£155-165 for the year
Another alternative is to wait for a £13/£17/£20/month offer via eMail or just use the £25 shop voucher.
Apply that.
Cancel about 3 weeks before offer ends and Now TV will offer you 3 months for £20 (or better) [or you may get a £13/£17/£20/month offer via eMail]
Repeat until you don't need it anymore.
Bound to be cheaper than £195.
I have never paid more than £13 for a standalone monthly sports pass from Now TV.

Nope, not working for me.
To be honest, if this is the best they're gonna do I am going to re-evaluate my F1 viewing.
Highlights are on 4 anyway!

You can get all of the races and qualifying live £30 cheaper, if you purchase 5 x £25 Now TV Sky Sports Months passes and 4 x £10 Now TV Sky Sports Week passes from in retailers like PC World, Argos, Wilko, WH Smith, then start the month passes on 15th of March (3 races), 27th of April (3 races), 7th of June (3 races), 30th of August (4 races) and 11th of October (3 races), and use the weekly passes to cover the other 4 grand Prix that are exclusively live on Sky Sports. You don't need a pass for the British Grand Prix, it will be live a Channel 4. That should cover qualifying and the races for all 21 GP's

You could watch all the races and qualifying for even less with offers from Pringles, Gilette, Playstation etc. along with the £13/£17/£20 per month emails.
I see no reason to pay £195 up front. Maybe if it matched the £10/month offer on Sky I would do it, but not at over twice that price.
