I can't even see the 2021 races on the ITV site.
I've noticed the time they take to put race videos on their website is incredibly inconsistent. Occasionally it'll be a few hours but it can also be a day or two, a whole week, or in some cases it seemed like a race video would never appear (maybe they took months, I don't know). For a professional TV channel, it just leaves the impression that maybe someone who's normally occupied with some other more important job has to remember to upload the races. It can't be a very high priority for the channel.
