LEWIS HAMILTON’S titanic battle with Max Verstappen for the F1 title will be shown live on Channel 4. Sky F1 have reached an agreement with the channel to provide free-to-air coverage of the Abu Dhabi GP. Over 2.6million watched on Sky F1 as Hamilton won the last race in Jeddah. They did come to a ‘sharing’ agreement with Channel 4 for England’s dramatic Cricket World Cup final win in 2019 – so there is precedent. “But where there are epic endings or finales to sporting occasions I do think it makes sense to make them available to the widest possible audience.”.
