    Sky have just slashed their f1 package price to £150. That's £7 per race. Just needed a bit of competition all though not direct...

    While it is good you still need a Sky subscription at about £20 a month to then add the F1 @ £150. So that's about £430 a year! Plus an extra £6 a month for HD! No idea how you get Ultra HD?
    I think Sky will be trying everything they can as they only have sport to entice people these days. Movies and tv shows are so much cheaper via Freeview/Freesat and then Netflix, Amazon tv etc...

    SCRAP THAT. Just found that you can get F1 for 9 months via a half price Now TV pass at £150.

    Ocon's point about seeing the lights is interesting. I wonder how much of an issue that's going to be.

    That is a good point, though I would surmise that it would only affect 1 position and an in car system would easily negate it.

    Ericcson's brief comment sums up his ability to give useful and accurate feedback…

    There are three possibilities:

    • He really doesn't notice what everyone else does
    • He's not interested
    • He genuinely hasn't got a clue

    "It's there, but you don't really notice it" Much like Ericcson himself.

    It would be a bit ironic if it caused a pileup at the opening race. Hopefully that's not going to be an issue though.

    Sainz's comment was the most interesting to me, I hadn't even considered that it blocks rain hitting the visor. I wonder if this will further show those that can and can't drive in the wet, when they now have even less information on conditions.

    I had to laugh at Sky offering an F1 only package for £18 a month, and then saying you get HD for free. For free!? They try to sell you back something you used to get for nothing for £18 a month and then tell you HD (who watches in SD in 2018?) for free.
