And considering that that peak figure was achieved minutes before the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix, you can probably put a chunk of it down to F1 fans flicking through the other channels for something to watch to get away from Ted Kravitz and co. It's quite ironic that F1 is partly responsible for the BTCC's peak viewing figures when they used to go out of their way to avoid clashes. The jump from circa 16 F1 races a year to 22+ makes that something of a fantasy now anyway.
