The ratings above are where I would expect them to be, although maybe slightly lower. If you’re to compare it with the Bahrain weekend, the last exclusive race on Sky Sports F1, the ratings are around the same region, with all sessions above 100 thousand viewers.
One oddity is that the Saturday repeat of The F1 Show after Qualifying had a higher rating than the original Friday airing, which is somewhat odd.
The channel reach though for the week though is pleasing for Sky. The channel reached 3.27 million people, higher than Sky Sports 2, 3 and 4. That number, however, is lower than the channel reach for the Australian, Malaysian and Bahrain race weekends, which were the other Sky exclusive weekends this season.
The race day viewership of 974 thousand confirms my original post here that the Canadian Grand Prix race ratings did indeed hit a six year low, with a combined viewership of only 3.24 million viewers. It’s also the lowest viewership for a Grand Prix since the 2008 European Grand Prix, which had 2.64 million viewers.
