Antonelli's title celebrations brighten Channel 4 Sport's upload-free week
The studio team considers his place alongside Hamilton and Verstappen, while football and hockey clips also keep attracting views.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
The sky's the limit for Kimi
Nothing new, plenty watched. Channel 4 Sport posted no videos this week but added roughly 530,000 views, with its current daily viewing running above its usual level. Subscribers held steady at 208,000.
Among the recent uploads attracting viewers is "The sky's the limit for Kimi", a short Formula 1 discussion built around Kimi Antonelli's championship celebrations. The footage brings together an Italian flag, a hug from Toto Wolff and a podium shared with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. In the studio, the analyst singles out the rarity of winning a first title in a driver's second season, drawing a comparison with Hamilton.
The panel's bigger question is how far Antonelli can go. Its assessment is emphatic: he has the ingredients to achieve on the scale of those established champions. That is the studio's judgment, with the celebrations supplying the pictures.
Elsewhere, "Women's FA Cup Second Round Draw | Channel 4 Sport Live" continues the channel's cup coverage, and a Watson hockey finish from September is also picking up views. It is a suitably mixed sporting menu for a channel whose best-known regular uploads include Verstappen's taxi prank and England players trying Countdown.
Across the nearby motorsport channels, Duncan Shaw had a much larger viewing week, while Between The Rows was quieter. Channel 4 Sport sat third for weekly views in that group, despite leaving the upload button alone.
