Formula One on NBC is a presentation of Formula 1 produced by NBC Sports. Races, practices, and qualifying are televised on NBC, NBCSN, and CNBC, and streamed live on NBC Sports Live Extra.

History

Early days

In the early 80's NBC shared the rights of f1 with CBS and ABC, but then lost the rights to ESPN.

2013-Present

On October 12, 2012, Speed, then owned by Fox Sports announced that it was unable to renew its contract to air Formula One racing after the conclusion of the 2012 season. Two days later, NBC announced that it had reached a new four-year deal to broadcast F1 races beginning in the 2013 season, with the majority of its coverage to be carried by NBC Sports Network (now NBCSN).[1][2] The races are televised live on NBC, NBCSN, and CNBC and on the NBC Sports Live Extra mobile app, and are typically replayed later in the day on NBCSN.[3]

Commentators

Leigh Diffey hosts the broadcasts and provides lap-by-lap commentary, with David Hobbs and Steve Matchett providing analysis. For most races, they call the action from NBC Sports' studio in Stamford, Connecticut in the United States; however, they do call the Monaco, Canadian, and United States Grands Prix's on location. At all races, Will Buxton reports from pit lane and conducts pre-race and post-race interviews.
