Formula 1 on the BBC

The BBC will be providing live coverage of nine races in the 2013 Formula 1 season across all its platforms.

For the remainder, there will be extended highlights on television and full live coverage on radio and online, including audio commentary.

The extended highlights programmes will be on BBC One, although start times and duration will depend on race location.
