Hi,
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but kayo doesnt seem to include the pre race coverage for formula 1 races anymore? Really missing martins grid walk. Don't feel like paying more for less.

Yeah unfortunately, tried to go on the 506 channel but couldn’t go back that far.

Same at the supermarkets…
It's due to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine apparently.
Rupert is down to his last billion he has to cut costs somewhere!!

I don't like getting NOTHING unless I pay a whole lot. I'm just not interested enough in enough of the sports that they show to pay the money Kayo/Foxtel demands. I'm not a SPORTS fan. I'm not interested in a whole lot of boofs kicking and throwing and hitting balls around and alternately hugging or thumping each other. I'm an F1 and MotoGP fan.
The deal for the Victorian government paying F1 a lot of ordinary taxpayers money to run a GP in this country should be that F1 actually wantsas many as possible of those ordinary taxpayers to be fans of their sport/business, and shows that by free-to-air broadcasting at least the highlights of it to them. A sport/business that wants to be exclusive to the few who are willing to pay a lot of money at the gate or through a streaming service shouldn't be being given tens of millions of the many's money.
It can't be good for a sport/business that is funded by commercial sponsors using it to advertise their product/name to lots of people to limit its coverage to a few who are willing to pay a lot to see it. The sport/business might get a lot of money from exclusive broadcast rights, but the worth of their sponsorship to sponsors is measured in the number of people seeing their name, and if that's limited, the sponsors will take their money elsewhere.
The event that the Victorian government is paying for is broadcast on free-to-air for three days straight.
And I would argue that the 10 coverage is better than Sky F1's.
I am a bit weary of Croft yelling all over the opening laps regardless of what is happening.
Ten will have Damon Hill this year with F1 journo Tom Clarkson and Richard Craill, who did a top job with Clarkson and Mark Webber a year ago.I do wonder how far Martin has to sit from Crofty in the commentary box to ensure personal safety
Alright they’re aware of it and fixing apparently.
“Please kindly please wait on this as this is a matter that is currently being faced by a lot of our subscribers, we will appreciate your patience during this time”.
It was part of the replay this morning. I watched it. It seems the replay has been shortened from 4 hours to 3 hours.
Yeah I think the full replay was 4.24hrs. If you watch live you get the full leadup but for whatever reason last year they started cutting the final replay to just the race. Would be good to have the option of both which I believe it was until the start or mid last season.
Yeah, very frustrating. Came home for our Monday night F1 watch and no lead up. 🤬
I looked for the mini, it wasn't there at breakfast time, but was for lunch
.Annoying
Id generally much prefer the hour before rather than the hour after coverage :/I was just told by their support that they no longer show it on replays. I don't believe this is a glitch. I was like this for Bahrain too.
"We understand you have some concerns about the pre-race of F1 on replays. We are sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Unfortunately, the F1 pre-race is not available on replays. If you are watching live for a few hours after, you can get the full pre-race show. Please note, that fixtures are subject to change at each content provider’s discretion."
What a joke. So much for full F1 coverage.
I'm watching the Saudi Arabia replay now on Kayo and it shows the pre-race grid walk. Full content 4hr 26min…
I just refreshed and it's there now too. What is going on? It's stressing me out. Will it be there in 5 mins? Won't it? Will it be there next time? It's like walking on thin ice, could drop any moment.
calm down mate it's only F1
I noticed in the first race the pre race is missing on the replay, and now the same for second race. I had messaged them to complain early March as the session leads up is available for all practice sessions and qualifying replays, only not the race which doesn't make sense as that's the most important one.
The first response was I should watch it live and they appreciate my feedback and they'll pass it onto the content team. I advised it's on in the middle of the night. They said they notified their content team and said pre-race is something they are hoping to have in the replays for future races. I pointed out that they always had the pre race for replays until it just disappeared this year and that I think this is a mistake/incident rather than a request.
This is ruining my F1 season so far, it's outrageous.
Not a Kayo subscriber just asking the question, is there anywhere else in the world you can get this from using a bit of VPN trickery?
Is that the replay? Was live from 2:30am last night race at 4am
