You can't say you're looking at American fans and then proceed to flip them all off. It won't be watched by more than 18 people live, see this weekends Aussie GP. It's actually only advertised West Cost time cause it's on at 1 am Eastern. The numbers for the first showing always suck, the afternoon re-air is decent but usually less than the morning Eastern time European races

Having a race at midnight / 1:00 AM would make viewing a true Aussie experience - the vast majority of the races for us here kick off at between midnight and 2:00 AM local time (East Coast Australia) depending on time of year and the like. Many that I know watch the races when they get up early Monday morning, rather than fully live.
