Duh🤗 forgot GB race was free on C4. Brilliant, thanks, will wait to see what Now tv offer is, but great fall back plan 😁
I’m actually a bit p****d off with NOWTV it been hard work. I wish there was an alternative. I talked to a streaming f1 company that already streams to the world but have yet to come to the uk. They were talking £25.00-£50.00 for the year
Sadly, Sky/Now Tv have the monopoly on F1 in the UK at the moment, lets hope this does not last forever !
From what Hamilton said about viewing figures I can't remember exactly but roughly from his maiden winning Championship year there was like around 5 million viewers. Fifth championship winning year something like 1.5 million viewers, so I believe now TV should tread very carefully and think less is more!!
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

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.

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.
its live!!

£195 for 9 months
cancel at end of season to avoid high montly fee
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.
Same here, they've lost a customer here for sure 😞
It's just a shame they didn't offer an F1 only deal, like they did for Sky customers, for those of us that aren't as interested in all the other Sports Channels!
There is still time.

You can add McDonalds Monopoly to that list, it's normally starts in late March.
Oh FFS! Can't get the F1 pass as I have a week pass from PlayStation that I've not yet activated on my account. I've activated it now but got to wait a week before I can get F1 pass. Anyone know how long the offer is on for? Hopefully up to beginning of season.
