F1 Mexico GP qualifying - where is it??

[Prburkis]

So, it's currently 9am the day after the qualifying was on, which finished at 23:00 last night. So that's 11 hours and it's still not available to watch on Sky Stream.

considering how much Sky pay to F1 to show all of this, the UX is just rubbish. Being able to watch the F1 as soon after it is shown as possible is key.

While I'm at it - it would be great if the titles of the programs were more obvious. The tikes say "Mexican Grand Prix 2024:....." where the titles are chopped. It would be much better if it was clearer if it was Practice, Qualifying or the Race. The description you get is also not always exactly clear about what session you're watching.

and finally... season 24 episode 6 is not how you refer to an F1 session!!!!

arrrgggghhhhhh

As a note, I'm watching the qualifying highlights in 4OD's streaming service which has it all online, which I get for free with my TV license 🙄

That may well be true, but it isn't free.

You cannot legally watch live channel 4 broadcasts without paying for the BBC licence fee.

What a lot of useful replies, thank you all so much for the insights.

let me clarify "I get included with my TV license" rather than "for free with my TV license" - in any case, it's still a fraction of the cost of the Sky package.

personally, I would have thought that SKY have someone dedicated to making sure that the content being offered for F1 is very accessible and user friendly.

It's very unusual if you playlist F1 for it not to be available immediately. 

[Prburkis]

Yeah, unfortunately this has happened about 4 times in the last 18 months

[Matt+Nunns]

The playlist function is terrible with F1, if you go to start watching a race as it's finishing live, it just drops you into the podium celebrations. The titles are appallling as well and it just doesn't work very well!

[Prburkis]

And now the same problem... no race! Qualifying has appeared, but the race isn't available yet at 8am the morning after the race finished at 22:00 last night.

[Prburkis]

Channel 4 has beat them to it again with the coverage being available...

[Terrible+Support]

Yes, time to quit sky.

[Prburkis]

11:30 and it's still not there....

[Prburkis]

12:47 still not there...

[Terrible+Support]

There is an official F1 Youtube channel that carrys highlingts, very compressed. Might be better to watch that. Cheaper too.

What does Sky get you exactly? Netflix, Paramount Plus and Sky Entertainment. The rest are fre services anyway. If you have a smart TV, it doesn't really stack up to the £30 monthly fee any more.
