It's incredible how poor Sky deal with repeating overnight races - both linear and on demand. The Sprint took place at 4am this morning. It's not repeated until 11:30am and it's not available on demand.
They've scheduled a repeat of Qualifying at 10:30am... but that took place AFTER the Sprint so you can't watch Qualifying without the Sprint result being spoiled. The next repeat of Qualifying isn't until 12:45pm. That means that Channel 4 at 12:15pm is the only spoiler-free option to watch Sprint and Qualifying.
The Sky F1 EPG is never updated either, so you are guaranteed to see a spoiler if you tune into the linear channel at the scheduled time. If Sky really want to remove local recordings and focus on streaming then they need to do better. BBC, ITV and Channel 4 all publish on demand programming so much quicker.
