Lewis Hamilton hopes Formula 1 can ride the wave of its “transition” from free television coverage. “Now there are less than 750,000 on digital television on Canal Plus. But that’s how it works when you move everything to pay TV.”. “There seems to be a tendency that you have to pay for what you want to see on television,” said the Mercedes driver. “I think Formula 1 is doing a good job to make the sport more accessible to the fans, but there has to be more if they’re going to be persuaded to pay for F1 on television,” he added.
