Go said yesterday it has won the rights to broadcast live and exclusively Formula I coverage, including Friday free practices, Saturday free practice and qualifying session and the Sunday race.

The company's three-year F1 deal with Formula One Administration Limited covers the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons. As a result, Go will be broadcasting all races held all over the world starting from March 2009. The provisional F1 calendar for 2009 currently includes 19 races.

Go's chief executive officer David Kay said the company was delighted to be able to offer Sports+ customers "the pinnacle of all motorsport, Formula One".

The F1 rights are the latest addition to a suite of Go's other exclusive rights which include the Ryder Cup, the PGA European tour, the finals of the Davis Cup, Wimbledon tournament, the English FA Cup, the England national team World Cup qualifiers and friendlies and a host of international rugby tournaments.

In December of this year, Go will be transmitting live and exclusively the FIFA Club World Cup.
