Liberty Media's Formula One has announced a significant extension of its broadcast agreements with Sky television across key European markets. Under these new deals, fans in Britain and Ireland can enjoy coverage until the 2034 season, while Italian viewers’ access extends to 2032. The announcement underscores Formula One's growing appeal.

The sport has seen a remarkable viewing surge, with substantial increases reported among female audiences and the under-35 demographic. This growth is attributed to more British talent entering the competitive world of Formula One, with notable drivers like Lando Norris and George Russell emerging as fan favorites.

Sky television has seen a 25% rise in viewership figures in Italy, driven by standout performances from drivers such as Italian Kimi Antonelli, who is leading the championship.
