Sky Sports F1 offer available again, £10pm for 12 months

I know some of you aren’t football fans so Sky have done their F1 channel only for £10pm, normally £18pm for a single sports channel. This is for 12 months as well.

combine with the cheapest entertainment package and you’re around £35 a month I think. Or great if you already have Sky TV. I don’t have any friends codes left but I could get a colleague to send one if necessary. Details here https://www.sky.com/shop/tv/sports/

I have F1 from the old legacy deal with the HD pack, I think that's gone up to more than £10 now (and going up again in Apr)

I guess this would revert to £18 after 12 months?

Yes but you can remove it after the season has ended.

Looking at The official home of Formula 1® https://www.formula1.com/ it is still showing Chin to be running April 17-19 but clicking on it takes you to https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/...onavirus-outbreak.3g2y5Ngyrk1MbNxQB9hj4s.html. Which says The 2020 Chinese Grand Prix, which had been scheduled for April 17-19, has been postponed as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Given how full the Calendar is finding a date for it to be run later is going to be very hard to do.

IMO It'll need to be either between Russia and Japan or after Japan. The cars and crew will likely be going back to the UK anyway. After Italy and before Singapore could be doable I guess too.

China is cancelled for the year, very much doubt it will happen at all with the calendar we have now - unless it takes the place of another cancelled race..

MotoGP cancelled two races, Qatar and Thailand: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/motogp-races-cancelled-qatar-thailand-coronavirus

I would say it's almost a given that more races will be cancelled this year.

Yep zero point in ponying up £10 a month, just grab a Now TV pass and activate it when you know a race is going to be held.

This year is going to be a bust.

I bought a Sky f1 season pass before all this started and now they are refusing to refund me. What can I do?

Ask them to refund you via social media. If they refuse, watch the backlash. Sky = robbing gits.

This deal is looking worse and worse

Probably the best post to put this in.

F1TV currently have an offer on for a month free - this works in the UK too without needing a VPN or anything (presumably you would need one to watch the live races though).

You have to subscribe and provide payment details, but you can cancel the renewal as soon as you sign up. Great for watching old races at this difficult time.

Included are the vast majority of full race broadcasts dating back to 2009 and from then on select seasons having more than others. All of the classics are included I would say though. I've been watching one of the best, the 1999 season (all but one of the races is available for that).

Follow the instructions here.
