Yup I said Jan/Feb/Most of December. The thing is initially I subscribed for a year and resubsubscribed each year with a signup discount code. Then the renewals had no increases for years and the renewal was at the original discounted rate so it didn't bother me as much since going month to month would cost more. Due to the odd free month etc my renewal was pushed to June so basically there are no offers and it's huge increase so I'm going to just evaluate options for the first time in a long time. I have to look at ESPN streaming as an alternative.

Then just sign up when you need it and cancel immediately.

It's useful on the weekends when you can't watch it live...

Gonna evaluate the legal alternatives first and then go from there but month-to-month seems like the default/last option and will consult a calendar to maximise lol.

I tried the other route but I felt the quality can be hit and miss really. So I just ended up doing the F1tv route instead. I mean it is for something I love watching so why not.

If they left it just as it was I would've let the renewal run even with no F1 for 30 weekends of the year. Heck I would've even renewed for a whole year earlier at the current rate but they announced an increase and then that's it. It's now a matter of principal. They had a loyal customer now it's a grudge purchase :ROFL:

Rumors left right and center that Sainz have signed with Williams, but he denies everything.

Yeah, I feel bad for the man. Sure Williams is still a historic team and perhaps they will do well in 2026, but I don't think Sainz was treated right. Arguably one of the top performers over the past 2 years behind Max.

Merc holding out for a potential Max in 2026 is also stupid as hell, unless they know something.

I do feel Aston would have also been a good fit. But you have a lifetime supply of fckface there and a 43 year old Alonso hogging the seats.

Not sure Alonso is 'hogging' a seat. He's been the only thing holding Aston Martin together this last year and a half.

Well I have said it before, Sainz is like Alonso in his early days. Not a team player and no big team would probably sign him. His own fault. Every time in 2022 when Charles was stuck behind him and he complained on radio just give me 5 more laps, came back to bite him. When the team ask Charles to move or backup the field or something, he does it without questions.

I have no idea why, but mine was renewed at R800 for the year. This was through Google play store.
