Sky will show 10 races exclusively live on the Sky Sports F1 channel. Meanwhile the BBC will broadcast half of the 20-round schedule live.

The remaining races will be shown on the BBC as extended highlights, with the entire season being broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra.

Sky Sports will show the 2015 season opener in Australia exclusively live, as well as Monaco, Singapore and the returning Mexican Grand Prix.

Commentary will once again be provided by David Croft and Martin Brundle. Damon Hill, Anthony Davidson, Johnny Herbert and Bruno Senna will return as pundits, with Simon Lazenby and Natalie Pinkham fronting the coverage alongside pit reporter Ted Kravitz.

The BBC's team is expected to remain the same as 2014, but no official announcement has been made. Some of the BBC's live races include Bahrain, Britain, Belgium, Brazil and the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
