For UK viewers it’s much the same setup as it was last year: if you want to watch every race live, you’ll need to invest in a Sky subscription. However, the BBC is showing nine races live and will air comprehensive highlights of the non-live Grands Prix.

There have been a few changes to the line ups, though, with Allan McNish and Mark Webber joining the BBC and Bruno Senna going to Sky. Gary Anderson won’t be on the screens this year sadly, but you can listen to a podcast we did with him explaining the ins and outs of F1…

BBC

While you’re staring down the barrel of 10 highlights packages, you can still catch the races live on BBC Radio 5, 5 live sports extra and the BBC Sport website (text commentary).

Line up: Suzi Perry, David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan, Ben Edwards, Allan McNish, James Allen, Lee McKenzie, Tom Clarkson and Jennie Gow. Mark Webber will be making occasional films about F1.
