The 2024 Formula 1 season is underway, but who are the full commentary teams for Sky Sports, Channel 4 and F1 TV?
The 2024 F1 season features a record-breaking 24 race calendar, kicking off on 2 March in Bahrain. British F1 fans can watch every race live on Sky Sports F1 or catch highlights on Channel 4. This broadcasting arrangement is the result of years of evolution in F1 broadcasting rights in the UK. BBC previously aired 10 races live annually but ended its deal early in 2015 due to budget constraints. Channel 4 took over in 2018, but only the British Grand Prix has been broadcast live since. Whisper will continue producing Channel 4 coverage until 2026, while Sky Sports holds exclusive rights for live races. The Sky Sports and Channel 4 commentary teams feature prominent names like Simon Lazenby, Martin Brundle, Natalie Pinkham, and Oscar Piastri.
