    The last 5 words, for me, are not necessary--I just hate Apple (and Dell, and Microsoft, and google is wearing me thin)...

    LoL:: Liberty is simply trying to out-monetize F1 compared to everyone else.

    Accessible is for invalids.

    There is no such thing in Liberty's plan for accessible without a major payment involved lol. Liberty is enabling others such as Apple to literally limit viewing without the price going up. In person or otherwise. F1 a good deal - not for fans currently. Investors, streaming services etc and team values sure. Circuit promoters are probably ok but not making substantial money. Government money for F1 is still needed. Without it many races are not going to happen or will be curtailed/alternated etc.
    Pray for MotoGp next lol!

    I like watching F1 on Saturday and Sunday mornings usually DVR’d from the ESPN broadcast. But not enough to subscribe to Apple or F1 tv. If I have to pay extra to watch races then I’m out. F1 is entertaining but not entertaining enough to pay extra for.

    You're paying for that ESPN broadcast. There's no way to watch F1 without paying someone. It just doesn't feel like "extra" to you because you're already paying for it.

    So, that would be the only option, or F1tv?

    What you wrote is 100% correct. The point is I am not willing to pay an additional fee to Apple or F1TV.
