It's actually $50 for the Sports combo which includes the base pack.
You do understand that paying extra for the sports channel doesn't just give you Formula 1. It gives you all the sports under the Sun. That's $50 per month to watch any sport you desire.
That includes 4-5 channels dedicated to the Formula 1 during a race. You can choose standard commentary stream, pure sound, onboard and telemetry.

Yes, there's no doubt that the Sky coverage on Foxtel is a LOT better than the One / Ten coverage, but at the end of the day, I'd settle for just the races in SD if I could get it for a reasonable price.
I'd sign up to a live streaming F1 subscription in a flash if it was a reasonable price. What's "reasonable"? Well, everyone has their own measure - for me, it's probably around $200 per year for a full season. I'm seriously not interested in the rest of the bundle that you have to take with Foxtel to get access to the Sports package, which is the only way to access F1 in Australia.
And F1 wants to know why TV audiences are falling away?!
(We're on ADSL2+, with a synch speed of "only" 12 Mbps, but it handles streaming HD TV services such as Netflix without any trouble.)
