Sky Sports' coverage of last Sunday's F1 reached a peak of 2.66 million viewers - the highest ever figure for a race on Sky and only the second time ever a viewing figure above 2 million was recorded for Sky Sports F1 coverage. More statistics of the high viewing figures and analysis of potential coverage in this good piece from Motorsport Broadcasting here - https://motorsportbroadcasting.com/2021/...in-jeddah/
Still no announcment on any FTA coverage for this weekend unsurprisingly, but the race will be live on Sky Sports Main Event again, in addition to the F1 channel. Motorsport Broadcasting also reports that this weekend is potentially the last race on BBC radio with their contract concluding at the end of the season; with 5 Live broadcasting both Sunday Premier League kick-offs, the F1 has often been shunted down to Sports Extra, or often (especially during the cricket season) to online only, so will be interesting to see if retaining that contract will be of interest anymore.
Elsewhere, Atalanta v. Villareal in the Champions League has been postponned for some reason...
If it does take place tomorrow there will be four different UEFA competition played tomorrow as the Women's Champions League is played this week alongside the usual Conference League and Europa League.

Any previous Champions League matches ever played on Thursdays?
