I haven't voted in the poll, Bella, because I feel I watched around 15-20% live. That was not out of lack of interest, but in terms of the times being unsuitable for me to watch. By and large, those I watched were not in the middle of the day.

I like it to be available live, because nothing beats knowing it's happening now and it takes away the need to avoid social media or any news sources in the aftermath. Most importantly to me, I want to see the whole race; highlights frustrate me. Sometimes, if I'm watching a rerun on Channel 4, I notice they cut more out than at other times.
