I opted to get it only for the F1, although I must admit I like the Football coverage as well. Since I had the cancer, I don't drink any more, (never smoked),so I reckon I would waste it on F1. I reckon drinkers and smokers would spend more than $15 a week on their addictions.
At least the F1 now has all practice sessions live as well as Qualifying and the race, plus all the crud that the poms have on their F1 channel, some interesting stuff there for F1 tragics.
Peter, You obviously already have Foxtel.
The information re price came via the thread we had earlier this year when Foxtel took over the coverage.
Even your total comes to $600:00 a year,I don't know if the total includes other fees.
Ok Bernie makes more money but has reduced the amount of people watching F1
We are in danger of loosing the German and Italian grand Prix by the greed of Bernie and his company.
Those sterile stadiums tracks with very few people in the grandstands are killing F1 and the pricing out of people watching on TV will eventually be the demise of Bernie Ecclestone in the not too distant future.
