This race is absolutely crafted for Asia and Middle East audiences. No one in Europe will wake up on a Sunday at u am for this race if you have a dvr or replay service from your provider.
People In the US can literally ignore this as there's zero drama on who will win the season nor a glimpse of non dominance.
Meh even the circuit looks like an upside down pig.
I really get tired of Europeans whining about a handful of morning (not even that early) races when vast portions of the world have to deal with the inconvenient times of the European races.
Suck it up, if you don’t want to wake up then don’t. I wake up for 6am races most of the calendar
I'd take a 6am race over a 1am race
They could've had the race at like 7pm local time and it would still be a night race
I really don't get whats so bad about a 6AM race, if I did watch the races live I'd actually be more likely to be able to watch one at 6AM rather than in the middle of the day.
The amount of drugs needed to stay up until 6am
Bernie, you're using the wrong drugs.
Or just wake up at 6am and then get ecclestoned.
Go to sleep early, wake up at 6 with a coffee and breakfast. When I wake up early for races 18+ times a year that’s what I do. Then when the race is done get on with the Sunday cleaning like normal sundays
It's at 7am in central europe. A far shot from the Suzuka race which is earlier.
The track is built on public roads and it opens at 4am for commuters and services that need it.
Also the Las Vegas strip is open most of the day IIRC.
Basically the early morning hours are about the only time they could have held it
This is a good race for us in Aussie and NZ!
Middle aged people tend to get up at 6-7 in the weekend too. At least me and friends do.
The timeslots for this weekend is definitely ok for me. I like watching F1 in the morning and have the rest of the day free.
You contradict yourself. You are saying it's for ME and Asia audiences because of the timeslot, and right after that state that US viewers (for whom the timeslot is comfortable) will ignore it due to lack of interest. So what are the European, ME, and Asian viewers are interested in?
