Sky Sports will be broadcasting every race of the 2013 Formula One season live. Screened on their specific Sky Sports F1 channel, they will be providing coverage from every corner, crash and dramatic climax throughout the season. This includes live practice and qualification sessions.

Possessing household names such as Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert and Anthony Davidson, the Sky F1 team will also be joined by Martin Brundle and David Croft. The duo will provide commentary from every track across the globe, taking you through the whole experience of race day. With news breaking constantly over the race weekend, Natalie Pinkham and Ted Kravitz will keep you informed of any important news during your Sky F1 weekend experience.

BBC will join their fellow media outlet in screening nine live races this season across all of its platforms. On top of their live coverage, they will also provide highlights for any races that they have not covered. They have also been successful in gaining live broadcasting of each practice session from Melbourne all the way through to Brazil.

One major change with the BBC is the introduction of new presenter Suzi Perry, replacing last year’s host Jake Humphrey. Ben Edwards and co-commentator David Coulthard will continue to commentate live on the race and former driver Eddie Jordan will continue as chief analyst. BBC radio five live will broadcast live from every race throughout the calendar year.
