Formula One will provide Spanish broadcasters Movistar+ with exclusive digital rights to cover all F1 grands prix in an extended TV partnership that will run until 2020.
Movistar+ has held Spain's TV rights for F1 since 2014 and will continue to broadcast every practice, qualifying and race live for the next three years in its new deal. New digital rights have also been included, which could pave the way for short live video and clips to be pushed out of Movistar's social and digital media channels.
Live F1 video content was not previously allowed to be broadcast on digital platforms outside of its TV channel, but new owners Liberty Media have expressed a desire to reach wider audiences on both social and digital media.
