Sky Sports: Sky Sports F1 Coverage by Sky Creative
- Location:

This is the first time Sky Sports will exclusively cover the F1 season, owning broadcast rights to 20 out of 21 races.
Alongside a start-of-season campaign, SCA has also overseen all the design elements around its coverage, including a brand-new title sequence, interactive touch screen broadcast podiums, a new F1 zone and interview platform.
