None legally afaik.
Nowtv passes are ok I think if you want to watch the odd race, but pricier than full sky for the whole season.

Move to another country? As above no other legal options, aside from the British GP which I understand Sky need to make available there will be nothing but Sky until 2025 now...

Much the same. Some news, some interviews, some features. Just different people (some better than others).

Was forced to watch CH4's awful coverage today, shoddy and amaturist and who is that jerk of the lead commentator? What summed it up was they mispelt start as strat in one of the onscreen infomation texts. Pitiful...

Sky did an F1 NowTV pass this year for £150 you are allowed two simultaneous devices so I split it with a friend. I expect they will do similar next year. Unadvertised at the time it also gives full access to all SkySport NowTV channels.

The way F1 is at the moment even the highlight reel is dull.

We just upgraded sky so we will be able to get F1 in 2019.
I will miss the c4 show though. I like it better than the sky presentation so far.

I remember a couple years ago when the f1 channel first came out it was free on sky, probably noticed how much people watch it and have incorporated in with the sports package! I phoned and asked for a discount or if they did it seperate and they would only give me £3 off so £15 per month. I just buy now tv passes for when I’m at home to watch the races but not the same in 720

I'm still on the legacy contract where the F1 channel is 'free' with the HD subscription. I can't wait for Liberty's platform to be available in the UK.

After switching the tv off half way through yet another boring race (2nd time this year so far) I think I am done with F1. I have been watching F1 since the late 70's and sadly the racing is getting more and more boring with every new set of rules. The upside is that I can finally get rid of Sky when my contract runs out in January. It's terrible that it will no longer be on free to view any longer though.
a lot of content but too much Lewis fanboyism made evident amongst them. If you can overlook that then it's not too bad, but unfortunately the only legal choice for UK viewers.
I did exactly what pastymuncher did today, switched off 1/2 way through. I am on an old Sky package where I get the F1 channel as part of the HD package so I only pay £30 per month for that and the boxsets. But I am really hoping that F1 bring out that F1 TV Pro thing for the UK but I assume that won't be for years as Sky have the rights and god forbid it gets aired somewhere else.
On a side note, the F1 channel have been uploading so much content to their Youtube channel recently, including Qualy and Race highlights. I know cutting down a 90 minute race into 6 minute highlights isn't ideal but for races like today, it's perfect!

No way would I pay for sky for f1. So it's no more f1 for me after this year.
I wonder if the forum will take a down turn?
How many of us don't pay for sky?
How much would I pay for f1 full coverage?
Maybe 5 gbp per weekend. Then I could skip the tracks I'm not fussed about.
To Commit to a year I'd only want to pay.. 60 to 70 at most. Maybe less
But I'd want full access and not required to watch live

They also had 'Belguim' as well and that's FOM Graphics. Very poor.
