BBC locks in Formula One radio broadcast rights

BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra, and BBC Sounds have acquired the exclusive Formula 1 UK radio rights as part of a three-year partnership between Formula One and the British Broadcasting Corporation.

As per the agreement, former F1 World Champion Damon Hill will join the 5 Live team from the 2025 season. He will be joined by Formula E driver Sam Bird, former W Series driver Alice Powell, and former McLaren race mechanic Marc Priestley, while Jennie Gow and Rosanna Tennant will present from the pit lane.

With Lewis Hamilton moving stables to Ferrari, Max Verstappen going for a fifth consecutive title, and Lando Norris hoping to win his first drivers’ championship, it’s got all the elements to be the best season in history.
