Sky Sports News will be at each GP venue in 2012 for up to six days around each race and will be in attendance for every day of every test session.
Channel promises 'the ultimate news service for F1'
Sky Sports News will broadcast from the site of every 2012 Grand Prix for up to six days and will be in attendance for every day of every test session, the channel have announced.
Two dedicated reporters - Rachel Brookes and Craig Slater - will be embedded to work amongst the teams both at races and during the upcoming 'test season', with the channel pledging to "provide viewers with breaking news stories, detailed analysis and extensive coverage of each Grand Prix, including on-site build-up and reporting for all 20 races."
In what sounds like manna from heaven for F1 aficionados, it's also been eye-catchingly revealed that Brookes and Slater will be broadcasting "up to six days of coverage from each Grand Prix, with on-site reports beginning each Tuesday and running through the week to post-race reaction."
"This is the ultimate news service for F1," enthused Andy Cairns,
Sky Sports News HD Executive Editor.
"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, data as well as
Sky Sports News itself."
The channel has already broadcast bespoke features from the headquarters of Caterham, Williams and Marussia, and will be in attendance for the launches of the 2012 cars and driver line-ups throughout February.
