Rupert Murdoch's FOX announced late last year that 2017 was the last year of 'free to air' in Australia, however the full race and 5 hours of 'Pre-Race' was broadcast today on a free-to-air channel.
It will be interesting to see what happens with subsequent races not in Australia.
I am not a Rupert Murdoch fan so I would rather give up my obsession with F1 than pay Rupert a small fortune to buy a big FOX Pay-TV 'Sports Package' when all I want is 20 F1 races a year.
Excellent race today. Any race that Mercedes don't win is a good race.
