F1/FiA dying to get in on enshittification.

And to get nuked from orbit by EU competition law. But the FIA aren't the enemy here. They said that Andretti met all of the technical requirements to join the grid.

They didn't want FOMO

Yeah FOM just increased the F1TV subscription price by 50% in my country. Enshittification has already started. They really think they can charge the same price as other sports that have multiple matches per week.

Maybe try a VPN from a cheaper country? I've never tried it so I can't confirm it will work.

For what it's worth there is some value to F1TV beyond the race weekends. The archives are (imo) nice to watch during the off season weeks and during summer break. I'd also much rather watch their tech pieces and whatnot through the official stream and not secondhand on YouTube or something where Google gets a piece of the revenue.

Do whatever fits your life and budget. There's always the high sea.
