Formula One, the highest level of circuit racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, motor sport 's world governing body, can be seen live or tape delayed on television in almost every country and territory around the world. It attracts one of the largest global TV audiences after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, with a total global audience of about 352 million people for the 2017 season.

Every race is produced in 16 : 9 widescreen. Previously, a ' host broadcaster ' from each nation produced the World Feed for their home race, for example TF1 for the French Grand Prix. This led to a two - tier system which was unpopular with viewers due to local broadcasters focusing heavily on local teams and drivers, whilst missing key moments. For the 2018 season, the World Feed is produced by FOM for every race apart from the Monaco Grand Prix, which is produced by Télé Monte Carlo. Alongside the main World Feed, FOM also produce a Pit - lane channel, showing shots from the pitlane and alternative camera angles, along with detailed weather and tyre information, and extra team radio. FOM also produce onboard channels, showing live video from cameras installed on the drivers ' cars. The channels switch between different cars throughout the session. FOM also make available a `` Driver tracker '' channel, showing live positions of all the cars on the track during a session, as well as a timing screen showing live lap - times and circuit sector information. Currently, broadcasters offering coverage of these FOM - produced extra channels include Sky Sports F1 ( UK ), Fox Sports Australia, Sky Sport F1 ( Italy ), Movistar F1 ( Spain ) and Play Sports ( Belgium ). Out of the 9 on board channels, Fox Sports Australia only shows the Master onboard channel to its viewers, whereas Sky Sports F1 makes all the on board channels available. The Pit lane, Driver Tracker and Live Timing channels are available to Sky viewers in the United Kingdom. For the 2011 season, FOM released a high definition feed to broadcasters for the first time, and for 2012, the footage was filmed with 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound audio. From 2017, footage began being broadcast in 4K ultra-high definition by Sky Sports F1 in the UK. In 2018, FOM launched an over-the - top streaming platform known as F1 TV, providing live commercial - free coverage of all races including access to all on - board cameras. The service launched initially in Germany, France, the United States, Mexico, Belgium, Austria, Hungary and parts of Latin America. Broadcasters United Kingdom In 2011, Sky Sports signed a 7 - year deal with the BBC to show live Formula One on Sky in the United Kingdom for the first time. The deal which ran between 2012 and 2015 saw Sky Sports show live coverage of every session of the season on their own F1 dedicated channel, Sky Sports F1. Sky Sports F1 show all races and qualifying sessions live without the interruption of adverts. In 2016, Sky extended their contract to 2024, and will be the exclusive live rights holders in the UK and Ireland from 2019 ; the British Grand Prix and highlights of all other races will be shown free - to - air. At the same time it was announced that Sky will broadcast all events in ultra-high - definition ( UHD ) from 2017. The BBC continued to broadcast live coverage of half the races and all 20 races had `` extended highlights ''. In 2012, they broadcast live coverage from China, Spain, Monaco, Europe ( Valencia ), Britain, Belgium, Singapore, Korea, Abu Dhabi and Brazil. They also showed live coverage of practice and qualifying sessions from those races. The deal set that the British Grand Prix and the final race had to be shown live on the BBC. For each Grand Prix ( even if live ) the BBC showed `` extended highlights '' of the race just a few hours after it had been broadcast. Late afternoon for early hours races and / or early evening. Late evening races were shown on the day and repeated on Monday evening. The BBC Radio 5 Live coverage was unaffected. BBC ended their television contract after the 2015 season, transferring their rights to Channel 4 until the end of the 2018 season. Sky Sports F1 remained unaffected and BBC Radio 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra 's coverage was extended until 2021. Like the BBC, Channel 4 always show the British Grand Prix and the final race live. Channel 4 's live broadcasts for 2016 were Bahrain, Spain, Europe, Britain, Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico and Abu Dhabi. Non-live races have `` extended highlights '' of the race shown a few hours after it has taken place. Highlights of races held early morning are broadcast mid-afternoon, with afternoon races shown early evening and late evening races shown later in the evening. Sky Sports F1 will broadcast every 2017 race in 4K Ultra-HD, exclusively for Sky Q Ultra-HD Silver customers. United States On 14 October 2012, NBC Sports reached a 4 - year deal to broadcast Formula One races in the United States, replacing Speed and Fox Sports -- who have been long - time F1 broadcast partners. The majority of its coverage ( including most races, and all practice / qualifying sessions ) was broadcast by the pay channel NBCSN ( with CNBC as an overflow channel ), while 4 races were aired by the free - to - air NBC network per - season. The network also streamed additional camera feeds through its digital platforms. NBC 's broadcast team consisted of David Hobbs, Steve Matchett, and Leigh Diffey ( who commentated from NBC Sports ' headquarters in Stanford, Connecticut ), with Will Buxton as pit reporter. On 4 October 2017, ESPN announced that it had acquired rights to Formula One under a multi-year deal beginning in 2018. ESPN had previously broadcast Formula One from 1984 to 1997. The majority of coverage will be carried by ESPN2, but two races ( Monaco, Britain ) will be carried on the main ESPN channel, and four races ( Canada, United States, Mexico, and Brazil ), as well as an afternoon encore of the Monaco Grand Prix following its Indianapolis 500 telecast, will be broadcast free - to - air on ABC. Unlike the previous contract with NBC Sports, Formula One will retain over-the - top rights, ESPN will reportedly not pay a traditional rights fee, and it was originally announced that the broadcasts would rely primarily on the world feed. However, it was later announced that ESPN would utilize Sky Sports ' coverage. 2018 TV broadcasters These are the broadcasters for the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship. hide 2018 TV Broadcasters Country TV Network Language Free - to - air / Free - to - view / Pay Practice 1 Practice 2 Practice 3 Qualifying Race Notes Albania RTSH Sport Albanian Free No No Live Live Live HDTV.

( September 2016 ) Below are the previous World Feed Producers for Grands Prix from 1950 until 2015. Between 1997 and 1999 the Brazilian GP World Feed was produced by FOM. What was shown was a reduced version of the F1 Digital+ main feed, mainly lacking onboard angles and without the pay per view graphics. Rede Globo continued to produce an alternative National Feed for Brazilian viewers. From 2001 to 2003, the Australian Grand Prix was broadcast locally in widescreen ( 16 : 9 ) on Channel 9 Digital ( 2001 - 2002 ) and Channel 10 Digital ( 2003 ). For Non-Digital Local viewers, they received a letterbox ( 16 : 10 feed in a 4 : 3 frame ) version of the Feed, while international viewers got a standard 4 : 3 feed. When FOM took over the broadcast in 2004, the local coverage was reverted to 4 : 3. In 2001 and 2002 the US Grand Prix was broadcast locally by ABC Sports. However, they did not ever produce the World Feed. In 1991, the French GP was broadcast in France by La Cinq, which held rights for F1.
