Pretty steep increase to be able to watch live races. Any alternatives?

"less than a euro per season"? You meant session, right? Took me a minute. :-)

That aside, imagine if Netflix charged a euro for everything on their service that you might watch.

I don't think the two are at all comparable. F1TV shows live content whereas Netflix is more of a library. Considering their monthly fee, how many minutes of content would you have to watch for a minute to be as expensive as a minute of F1? In the end, it all boils down to if you find it worth the money.

Essentially, F1TV could create a separate subscription for just the qualifying and races, leave out all the talking and nonsense, no supporting races et cetera. I think that would generate a lot of users that find 95 a year too steep.
