It is more complicated, but F1 and racing could work on C4 (with a bit of racing on more 4). Remember C4 will get only ten live qualifying F1 sessions and it will have a degree of ability to choose these - so could prioritise avoiding a clash with any massive racing event. It's likely to get 1 -3 where quali will be much eariler than racing and at least one where it can finish racing and get over to F1 quali on the main channel.
Equally the first races on more 4 and the big races on C4 from say 2.30pm when there's a live Euro grand prix could work pretty well.
