ITV will not be showing qualifying for the new Formula E Championship live for the foreseeable future, the broadcaster has confirmed to this blog.

A spokesman for the broadcaster said “We won’t be showing Formula E qualifying live for scheduling reasons. However, we will include more comprehensive highlights of qualifying in the live broadcast from race two onwards.”

The opening race of the season from Beijing was watched by a peak audience of 713k across both live and highlights.

Can’t understand their logic here. There are so many ITV channels they could show it on.

Same day as Abu Dhabi-what a stupid move when they are waiting 10 weeks for the second race anyway. Could they not wait one more week
