Yes, I get it that they are supposed to generate money via ads, but that's just ridiculous... ORF (Austrian TV) used to be my top choice for F1 broadcasts, but they started blocking VPN connections a while ago, even when using one with a Chameleon protocol which is supposed to hide it So now I'm stuck with SRF (Swiss TV). Not too bad, only few ads, but the moderator can be slightly annoying sometimes.
I guess I could just watch it on my cable TV (Fox Sports Asia), but the commentators there are even more annoying
