    Formula 1 will no longer be shown on terrestrial television from 2019 after Sky Sports announced it had agreed an exclusive deal to broadcast the sport.

    The broadcaster currently shares coverage with Channel 4, which took up showing F1 after the BBC ended its contract three years early in 2015.

    Sky Sports said the whole of the British Grand Prix would be broadcast on a new "free-to-air" channel.

    The five-year deal will also see race highlights shown on the free channel.
