Well the viewing figures have been released and it does not look good at all.

With all the build up for the new channel, the peak viewing figure last night was only 207,000!!! And on average only 173,000. Sky had predicted over 300,000 would tune in.

I thought the show itself was good, but with now predicted viewing figures to be below 250,000 for live races, compared to that off over 3/4 million on the BBC, does not look great for F1 on Sky

I don't think you can compare a Friday night show to a Sunday race, I'd hazard a guess that next weekends viewing figures will be much closer to sky's predictions.

Didn't watch it, didn't miss it, won't be paying, or farting about streaming.

Plenty of other motorsports to be doing, or watching.  F*ck Bernie and his circus.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
