South Korea: Check the TV Schedule!
The South Korean Grand Prix is the 16th round of the 2012 season, which includes 20 events. In the Land of the Morning Calm, your European morning will be lively as you'll need to wake up early. The race will take place at 8:00 AM. Discover the channels that will broadcast the event and all the schedules for the 2012 Korean Grand Prix F1.
Sebastian Vettel is back in business: after two consecutive victories, the reigning double world champion is hot on the heels of the championship leader, Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard’s lead melted away like snow in the sun after a new retirement before even reaching the first corner at the Suzuka circuit. Will the Asian tour sound the death knell for the Asturian’s hopes of a third title? The answer comes tomorrow.
In South Korea, the race will take place during the day on the recent Yeongam circuit, thus exposing European viewers to a morning or even night time difference for the most passionate fans. The schedule will be the same as the Japanese Grand Prix.
Consequently, TF1 will broadcast the race in full starting at 07:55. The F1 à la Une team will present the 2012 South Korean Grand Prix a few minutes earlier with a lighter magazine, live from Paris.
Eurosport, a paid channel available on cable, the web, and as an option on ISPs’ TV packages, will broadcast the practice sessions and qualifiers live or delayed for latecomers. TF1, on the other hand, will offer a condensed replay of the qualifiers with the most important moments from Saturday night to Sunday. You’ll have to stay up late (1:45 AM).
Caution, do not plan to watch the Grand Prix on Sunday from the TF1 app on iPad or iPhone – it will not be broadcast. The rights are exclusively reserved for television.
Also note that the Motors Inside editorial team will, as usual, offer you a live commentary of the qualifying sessions on Saturday starting at 06:50 to follow the evolution of the hierarchy live and in complete friendliness. Additionally, you will be able to ask your questions directly to the editorial team.
