With the 2025 motorsport season fast approaching, fans eagerly await the details on how to catch every thrilling moment from both the Formula 1 and Superbike racing circuits. This year, viewers will benefit from improved television coverage, bringing the adrenaline of motorsport to living rooms across Italy and beyond.
Sky has officially confirmed it will provide exclusive live coverage of all 24 Formula 1 races, along with six Sprint races, for the upcoming season. Among the key highlights will be the two Gran Prix televised on the free-to-air channel TV8: the Gran Premio dell'Emilia Romagna, set for May 18, at Imola, and the Gran Premio d'Italia on September 7, at Monza. These are the only races mandated by law to be broadcast live for free within Italy, with the remaining events airing on delay.
For die-hard fans unable to watch every F1 detail on Sky's main channels, there are alternatives available. Every showdown of the season will also be streamed on Sky's NOW platform, allowing flexibility for those on-the-go. Coordination among the teams is also pivotal; for example, viewers can look forward to knowing who will be leading the commentary throughout the season. Long-time broadcaster Carlo Vanzini returns to call the results alongside Marc Gené, Roberto Chinchero, and Ivan Capelli, bringing insights from both the commentary booth and tyres at pit lanes, ensuring fans are never left out of the action.
The atmosphere surrounding the 2025 season is electric, particularly due to the new developments with star driver Lewis Hamilton, who has switched to Ferrari this year. Hamilton is aiming to secure his eighth world title, potentially making him one of the most decorated F1 drivers of all time. Viewers are set to witness Hamilton side by side with Charles Leclerc, with Ferrari fans brimming with excitement for this pairing.
On the Superbike front, the racing calendar kicks off with the GP Australia at Phillip Island. The event on February 22 will also see sky's cameras capturing all the high-speed drama. For fans watching at home, Sky Sport MotoGP will broadcast live coverage of the Superpole and Race 1. Notably, TV8 will also air Race 1 live, providing fans with free access to one of the most anticipated parts of the Superbike season.
Overall, the season promises to deliver numerous exciting races, intense rivalries, and captivating storylines! Pilots will face off over twelve rounds of action from February to October, and viewers will have numerous ways to catch the speedsters as they battle harder than ever.
With some of the best names already lined up to kick-off the season – including Toprak Razgatlioglu aiming to defend his title, and formidable competitors like Niccolò Bulega, Alvaro Bautista, Jonathan Rea, and more – viewers can expect gut-wrenching drama and outstanding racing this year. Also, UK fans will be excited to learn of adjusted schedules surrounding the broadcast to help accommodate more viewership.
Can’t catch the action live? They don’t worry. TV8 will air delayed coverage for the remaining races, ensuring nobody misses out on the thrill of the races. Just make sure to tune back for replays of both the F1 and Superbike events throughout the week.
Fans are encouraged to keep track of their favorite teams and racers as well since various platforms now allow for closer engagement through digital feedback loops. The anticipation and build-up to the 2025 photos of the world of racing are palpable, and as always, race day promises to provide exhilarating experiences both on and off the track.
Mark your calendars for both the prestigious Formula 1 and Superbike races, as the 2025 motorsport calendar sets the stage not just for competition but for moments of history to be made.”
