Oscar PiastriDid every audience agree?
No. Every rating carries the team its author supports, and on this weekend more than a point out of five separated the happiest camp from the least happy, 1.64 points exactly. Country of residence separated the same ratings by 1.23 points, less than allegiance did.
Which camp gave which number is part of the audience profile rather than a public page. Why the split says more than the average is explained in how a race rating is read.
How was it watched?
80.3% of the logged viewing was live, 8.7% came from replays and highlights and 2.2% was at the circuit. A rating collected from a live audience is a reaction rather than a recollection, which is why the two are never mixed here.
Where does this round stand in the season?
Every round of the last two seasons carries the same three measurements on the race ratings index. The season it belongs to is read in full in the mid season review.
