A very interesting article in The Independent (with reference to Hamilton's opinion) pointing out that UK viewing of F1 declined in 2019 because Channel 4 only showed highlights whilst F1's global research director Matt Roberts had thought that viewing would surge since highlights are screened in prime time slots.
I watched most of them, both qualifying and race and thought that too often the highlights were hidden away in the schedules or very late at night.
I would not want the reaction here to entail revision of Channels 4's coverage. I thought they were doing all they could and especially enjoyed the input of Steve Jones, Lee Mckenzie and Mark Webber.
I enjoyed listening to Saturday's qualifying on BBC Radio 5 whilst watching a different model of Ferrari on the television
