Sky has bought the exclusive rights to Formula One from 2019, marking a growing absence of live sports on terrestrial TV.
The new sky deal will come into effect once Channel 4’s new three year deal expires at the end of the 2018 season. The public broadcaster is paying £35m a year to show 10 live races as well as practice, qualifying and highlights.
Sky’s new agreement will run until 2024 and will mean UK F1 fans will only be able to watch the coverage through Sky, which currently broadcasts all 21 grand prix live on its dedicated F1 channel.
