Over on 10, the AFC Women’s Asian Cup saw a thrilling draw between the Matildas and Korea Republic averaging a tournament-high 722k. That helped 10 to a rare third place for the night.

Seven needed Australian Idol in the Sunday slot. The 1% Club doesn’t cut it.

939,000 for a race without Oscar. I say that’s a massive success for 10.

Don’t know what “F1 Supports 2” really means.

Big day of sport, with a rare first place for 10 and with two sports, both also beating AFL and NRL with younger viewers.

Can only wonder how high the Grand Prix might’ve gone had Piastri been racing or even won. The race used to pull in 1-2m metro broadcast many years ago, probably last when Ten were a strong network and had AFL, in the ONE HD era.

Impressive day and night for 10 - thanks to the Formula One Race during the day, and the Matildas during the night.

Nine still dominated in primetime.

For what it’s worth 10 News+ had its highest rating since episode 1 with 245,000 - that included being shown in Perth at 3:30 PM where 11,000 tuned in!

The F1 race rated really well but the figures would have been higher if Oscar Piastri was racing.

The Women’s Asian Cup also drew a solid audience.

The AFL clash pulled a big crowd to the MCG (St Kilda’s biggest home and away attendance in history) but was no match for Married at First Sight.

I think it refers to the Supercars Supersprint in mid morning.
