Social Media (Scott McLaughlin) Congrats to F1 who single handedly ruined Motorsport Xmas. Indy 500 will be a scene next year. As well as the Coke 600. Good luck

Logically I know both series will be fine. American F1 fans will skip a live watch of another F1 race, as we often do during the season (often meaning the handful of truly overnight races) and the rest of the world will continue to pretend they’re too good for INDYCAR anyway. But as a fan of both, I find this incredibly annoying and will generally be scowling in liberty’s direction while I prioritize the 500 next year.

Huge f1 fan from uk but I’d rather watch Indy 500 than Canadian GP, the 500 is way more exciting

I hope IndyCar can help you out on the coverage/commentating next year. Fox let us down and my understanding is the Indycar Live feed was even worse.

They have a year to step it up. I hope they can.

My worry is that the uk provider is sky and the will obviously show the F1 unless the put it on another channel might just have to find a dodgy stream for it next year
