Channel 4 has confirmed the 10 Formula One races it will show live in 2016.
After the BBC terminated its F1 contract three years early due to savings across the company, Channel 4 became the new broadcaster of the sport.
The channel will broadcast F1 for the next three years as part of an share-agreement with Sky, operating a similar system that was in place last season, whereby races will be jointly shown live.
The first race that will be broadcasted live will be the Bahrain Grand Prix on 3 April, as well as broadcasting its home Grand Prix live on 10 July and the season finale in Abu Dhabi on 27 November. Channel 4 will broadcast highlights of every race it doesn’t show live.
Head of Formula 1 at Channel 4, Stephen Lyle said, “We are delighted to announce the full line up of races we will be showing live across 2016.
“The British Grand Prix is a huge highlight of the sporting calendar and we’re looking forward to covering all the action live from Silverstone this summer.”
