Formula 1 and SiriusXM have entered into an agreement that will see every single race of the Formula 1 world championship aired live through the online radio service in North America.
The broadcasts begin this weekend with the United States Grand Prix and will cover every race next season and beyond following the signing of a "multi-year deal".
The commentary will be provided by the BBC's 5 Live radio, which broadcasts Formula 1 commentary in the United Kingdom.
"Formula 1 races are sensational, world-class events, which showcase the most advanced automotive technology in the hands of exceptional drivers competing on very challenging circuits,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer.
"We are very excited to deliver the excitement of these races to SiriusXM listeners across the country. As Formula 1 makes its way around the globe, we will bring its fans in North America to each international venue and enable them to follow the action live."
F1 managing director of commercial operations, Sean Bratches, added: "We are delighted to have Formula 1 back on SiriusXM. Their ability to offer live coverage of all races throughout the Championship to their numerous fans and listeners provides tremendous additional exposure for F1 in the North American market."
Programming is available on Sirius channel 132, XM channel 203 and channel 963 on the SiriusXM app.
