For those who have had tickets for F1 races this season that have been cancelled, has everyone been able to get a full refund?

I had tickets booked for the F1 weekend in Hungary through Hungarotickets and after the race was cancelled I applied for a refund, but they have only refunded me 75% of the amount. When I queried it I was told that it took into account the operator's own costs and that is why I didn't get a full refund.

I wondered what everyone else's experiences were.

My ticket refund for Hungary was a bit random too. (But I must admit I hadn't realised that until you posted this and I just checked)

It was supposed to be full value - minus a 3% service fee. (which was a mickey take anyway)

I ended up with a refund which was full value - 5.6%. Basically, they've stolen an extra tenner off me. I wonder if it's to do with exchange rates in my instance?
That's interesting, which company did you book your tickets through? I bought four tickets, so with them keeping 25% I am now down over £110 in total, which is a lot really.

They were from the official F1 Ticket Store.
Thanks for letting me know - with hindsight I should have got them from there too.
