To clarify what the offer is this week this from a facebook response:

 

  Spark Sport Hey all, Spark Sport coverage of the F1 will use the extended Sky UK feed, which includes comprehensive commentary, race data, and graphics for each F1 practice session, race qualifying session, and the Formula 1 main race. The Spark Sport coverage will also include the Sky Grid Walk and post-race review show. 

 


  • TVNZ will show the World Feed with Sky UK commentary. Generally, the World Feed starts around 15-30 min before the session starts and finishes about 10-15 mins after the live coverage ends. TVNZ won't be showing the 90 min after race coverage or the pre-race walk around pit lane. We know F1 fans love the pre and post race content, so we are still intending to launch Spark Sport this week and are working hard to make this happen. We really appreciate everyone’s patience as we speed towards launching, and I hope this helps to clarify questions about coverage. Thanks! ^Caitlin  

 

This implies SS will be ready for the race weekend. Tomorrow 2-30pm is the start of the race weekend. For me, commentary is everything. It's news, banter, and technical insights. I don't watch FP1 as the track is green, nor FP2 as its mainly long runs, and most of FP3, but I watch the start for the latest goings on. And the last 30 20 minutes of FP3 as thats quali sims.

Heres hoping. They are cutting it awfully fine. Let's hope we are pleasantly surprised rather than bitterly disappointed.

 

Given how well other online live sport services have gone around the world I am not that optimistic. F1TV was 4 months late and a bit of sh*tshow for much of last year from what I have read.

 

I like to watch (or at least listen to the commentary) all the sessions, especially at the beginning of the season as they often have good technical insights around what's new.

 

1d 17hr left until fp1.

Just tested and it works well, signup is quick, service performance is good so far for the prerecorded content they have on offer, and casting works well also. So far so good, let's hope the live event performance matches this.

 

There is a reasonable selection of OD content including WRC highlights for the 3 rounds this year, 2 F1 races from 2018, some hockey, NBA and six nations highlights, One championship and 3 "live" channels Edge, MUTV and NBATV
