Steve Rider and Louise Goodman to spearhead ITV coverage of the new BTCC season

Sky's coverage doesn't begin or end with the race. The team of Martin Brundle, Steve Rider, Georgie Thompson and Ted Kravitz will be bringing you so much more...

The confirmation of Sky Sports first-ever F1 broadcast team will do little to dampen the uproar that has followed the announcement that the satellite broadcaster had snatched the UK television rights from the BBC, but executive producer Martin Turner is excited by the talent at his disposal.

The BBC has finalised its team of presenters for its coverage of Formula 1 from next year, it has been claimed, with Martin Brundle and David Coulthard on the bill - but no James Allen, Steve Rider or Mark Blundell.

Having won the rights to broadcast Formula 1 from 2009, the BBC has revealed it is to keep production of its grand prix coverage 'in-house', with two names emerging as key players for the major presenting roles.
