      I just paid for F1TV via an Indian Apple account. Very cheap and better commentary than SkySports. Plus it has extra analysis videos.

      I stopped watching F1 2 or 3 races in this year. has it improved? the constant pass and repass is boring and not what F1 is supposed to be in my opinion.

        It’s still that sadly, they tried fixing it with new rules mid season and it slightly got better but it’s still the same more or less

          that’s a shame, truly. it is what it is. there plenty of more interesting series like WEC and IMSA and WRC I think are more fun to watch at this point.

        But its advertising is regulated even if the industry itself is allowed to do whatever they want outside of the advertising restrictions.

        So you won’t get constantly blasted for advertisements to bet while watching.

          Huh, interesting. I didn’t know that. I thought it was similar to Australia, where the betting services do advertise.

            They can advertise, they’re just not so in-your-face and will have links to Gamble Aware as part of the advert.

              I think they can only advertise after the watershed which will be in the evenings. So for a live event during the day they can’t advertise.
