Sky Sports News to broadcast test sessions

26 January 2012

Sky Sports News has announced that it will be broadcasting coverage of the F1 pre-season by providing reports from the test sessions of Jerez and Barcelona. Two dedicated reporters, Rachel Brookes and Craig Slater, will be at the Spanish venues.

“This is the ultimate news service for F1,” says Andy Cairns, Executive Editor for Sky Sports News HD. “Our reporters will be trackside and in the Sky Sports News HD studio ensuring viewers are always up to date with what's happening on and off the track.

“And viewers with iPads will be able to follow our F1 coverage wherever they happen to be via the new Sky Sports News app which features on-demand video, the latest news and interviews and data as well as Sky Sports News itself.”

The dedicated Sky F1 HD channel will launch in March, with former BBC voices David Croft and Martin Brundle heading up the commentary team.
