Title: British F1 GP to have Friday evening Quali session
Post by: John S on June 08, 2021, 01:24:23 PM
Because of trial Sprint qualifying race on Saturday they have moved standard Quali to 6pm on Fri Eve & FP1 to 2.30pm.

No doubt it's to placate the lobby arguing that too few viewers will be available earlier on a standard work day.

Of course, qualifying will still have a big drop in viewers because the highlights TV packages don't include any Friday footage (except as clips in the "qualifying" / "race" show).
