Commentary track unavailable on some early 2018 races

When playing Australia (F1 fixed this one) & China 2018 it’s not possible to play the commentary track (“English”), and instead only the sound effects track is available. Of note, there are two “English” items, and nothing seems to change when switching between duplicated English audio tracks. (Compared to normally where there is a brief moment of silence as the track switches). Driver feeds seem to have three english items, which seems to only be the driver audio.
Of note, the same races in the F1TV Web & iOS app do correctly list the English & FX tracks correctly, although the mix is wrong, and the “english” is only commentary — no race sound (That obviously is not an app issue).
[Edited to add 'not' at the every end there]
I just tried it and I only see one English feed. It's muted in the beginning for about 30 seconds and then there's only commentary. It's the same in the web player for me so it's an issue on their side with the mix. I can't do anything about that.
First: Apologies for my typo in the final paragraph of my message. I left out a "not". 🤦.
Second: They (F1) appear to have fixed Australia 2018, but China 2018 still experiences the issue. Sorry! (I promise it was repoing on Australia when I reported the issue!)
Third: I've made a fix! #39!
Thanks a lot, I'll close this issue since I've tested it and it works now with the fix :)
