Alfa Romeo team member reveals that even they have to pay for the F1 TV as the discussion on the inaccessibility of the sport.
The F1 is heading to Miami to race over there for the first time. The biggest talking point ahead of the race is how expensive the tickets are the whole weekend.
Yet, the people who want to be in the race are long. According to Christian Horner of the F1 nation podcast termed it is the most hyped race. He revealed there is a huge waiting list ahead of the event.
However, there is a significant number of people who are displeased with the atrocious ticket prices of the race. Meanwhile, even the streaming prices of F1 in some western countries are expensive.
So, the question of accessibility of F1 races is questioned. And fans are wondering whether F1 fans want new fans or not? To add –to this, an Alfa Romeo team member Krystina Emmanouilides, who is the Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer in the team reveals how she has to pay for F1 TV from her pocket to watch races.
Moreover, she reveals that she doesn’t get any discounts for it. Even as an employee of an F1 team, I have to pay for an @F1 TV subscription – not even a discount. What’s all that about?! #howdoyouwatchf1?,” wrote Emmanouilides on Twitter.

F1 fans laugh at Miami Grand Prix
The Miami Grand Prix is hardly 10 days away, the circuit is still going through its final. But right after the Imola Grand Prix, pictures of a fake marina being built in Miami got viral.
Many saw it as the circuit being pretentious Monaco circuit, which is surrounded by yachts and boats. Where usually, big celebrities have a good time while watching the race.
The same lavish lifestyle is what Miami wants. But it didn’t prevent F1 fans to have a good laugh at the bizarre attempts of the officials in track designers at Miami.
