F1 in UHD - Race always difficult to find

Is it just me or is the actual F1 Race in UHD always very difficult to find in order to ensure it's set to record?

 

If I go to the F1 area of sports, then various sessions and qualifying of F1 and F3 are available, but not the F1 Race itself in UHD. I can go to other showings for F1 Qualifying and find SD, HD, and UHD, but if you do the same with any of the three "race" programmes in HD, and there's no mention of UHD for the Belgian GP.

 

This seems to be the norm for all races. This isn't the first time I've struggled to find the race in UHD, it always seems to be left out of the thumbnails, but is sometimes available on the "other showings" tab.

 

I do have the race stuff series linked in both HD and UHD, but I don't trust that 100%, so I always try and remember to set up the recordings manually in the week leading up to the race weekend, but invariably I have to jump through hoops to find the race in UHD.

 

Can anybody find a way to see a listing for the Belgian GP this weekend in UHD? It's not showing in my "Scheduled Recordings" either.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve.

@Steve.Pritchard I usually select the next F1 weekend from the previous race in recordings by selecting On this Week and selecting each race manually I find this the quickest way.

Using the voice control and saying "UHD" then scrolling down to Live Sport or from Home - Sports - Live sport this week with all that done the Live Belgian F1 Race is not listed for UHD yet hopefully it will appear later in the week.

I set a record manually for each race as I prefer it to stack under the correct race title not the previous one,

Also, just say 'UHD sports'
The sports are split there into their sports groups, F1 being one.

The live sports rail and 'other showings' listings for F1 normally populate all UHD content for the Sunday around Wed/Thur before the weekend.
Today it shows all UHD content up to Saturday for the upcoming weekend.

 

Series link for UHD has this season worked fine for F1 and the other series at F1 weekends like the F3 this weekend.
Just pick the first practice session and it will series link each of the series sessions and a few of the F1 Sky programme extras.

The Sky Q box doesn't seem to like Formula 1 that much.

 

When I series link the races, I also get every singel other Formula 1 program, sometimes not under the same thumbnail stack, sometimes with entirely the wrong name (thumbnail might say Hungary, but the race inside might be Spa).

That's why I set each race manually as I like the the race to match the title of the upcoming F1 weekend and not stacked under a different title
