Not available on Sky this year and I was looking about for alternatives. I am nor sure how long this site will be available to us but it has good info on it I have just watched a full replay of the 2019 Melbourne Grand Prix on it and it was brilliant, no adverts or any breaks at all. The same familiar commentary crew also. my.mail.ru/mail/corsajimz/video/_myvideo/1100.html |

When I was at high school I watched a season or two, which was on TV One very late on a Sunday night. I'm surprised that not even Sky carries the competition anymore!

Is that an illegal Russian site? I have not opened the link but it looks that way from the url.

I've resigned myself to using Spark Sport but it appears to be only available as a free trial currently. (which I guess is better than a paid trial!) I watched the Melbourne GP on Duke but it's annoying to have to sit through commercial breaks during the live broadcast and I don't think any of the other races are being shown on it. I can understand viewership probably wasn't great given how many races are very late at night NZ time but I can't believe the audience was small to the point of Sky dropping it altogether.  |

I think it was more a case of Spark outbidding Sky to get some content for their sports channel.I used to tape it and watch it in the morning with Sky.
Theres plenty of free streams and free highlight packages,I would be careful with Russian sites you may end up infected with some pox from them.
F1 these days is only marginally more exciting than watching grass grow,so I'm not paying Spark for the privilege of watching it.

The last great star of Formula One left the sport years ago, Mika Hakkinen. I preferred A1GP far more, sadly it collapsed when that Arab guy nicked all the money. |

I still find it exciting overall, but I will admit every season has a few races that are undoubtedly pretty boring. The new technical rules scheduled to take effect in the next couple of years will hopefully improve things by making it less of a two-horse race between Mercedes and Ferrari, and making the cars follow each other more easily and sound better among other things. Of course they've been trying to do that for years with minimal result so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I used to watch F1 but I lost interest when it became pretty much a two horse race. I've been enjoying WRC more in recent times.
