It would be a commercial suicide if F1 went to PPV in big countries like UK, USA or Germany. Considering the ridicolous artificial product they are giving us now, I can imagine the demand not being that high. I wouldnt pay for sure, just for principle. If they go back to real tracks and non-artificial rules, then no problems, I would cough out the money at once.

I would presume that calculations have proved that there is more to lose from going pay-per-view in those sorts of countries than there is to gain. It would be a very unwise move — one only has to look at the viewing figures for even quite major football matches on Sky in the UK to see that the audience is still limited.
