to announce a three-year extension with Match TV, they have been a great partner over the years and our new agreement clearly demonstrates their commitment to fans and to the sport. We are also pleased to be launching F1TV in Russia for the first time which will complement their offering and ensure that Formula 1 fans receive unprecedented coverage across all of our properties”.

Aleksey Popov, Match TV commentator, added: “After such a brilliant season opener at the Red Bull Ring last weekend, we are thrilled to announce this exciting three-year agreement with Formula 1 and continue to expand our motorsport offering for fans. Despite a slightly later start to the season than planned, we can’t wait to see what the next stage in the competition will bring as will bring as all the teams battle it out for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship”.
