You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.

Exclusive broadcast rights will cease to be a thing when consumers stop participating and watching these broadcasts, but most are unwilling to cease consuming the content long enough to have an impact on the bottom line which is the only thing they care about.

They've killed so much sport by shoving it behind a paywall.

Can't remember the last time I've seen any kids play cricket in the local park. Used to be rife, back in the day.

Probably doesnโ€™t help that crickets rules are so convoluted lol then again Iโ€™m American so itโ€™s not like anyone here has ever even thought to try cricket
