Sky Sports has announced that its Formula 1 coverage will be broadcast in High Dynamic Range (HDR) for the first time this season.
The HDR format provides enhanced contrast and colours, making pictures appear brighter, more detailed and more vibrant.
Sky's F1 coverage in HDR will not cost extra for subscribers who take out both the UHD package and the Sky Sports F1 channel, although it will require users to have a Sky Q box which is compatible with HDR rather than just standard UHD.
"We are pleased to bring the 2022 Formula 1 season to life in a way fans won't have experienced before," said Sky Sports MD Jonathan Licht. "The stunning picture quality offered through HDR will make viewing the new Formula 1 season even more exciting and impactful than ever.
"As the exclusive home of live Formula 1 in the UK and Ireland we will bring Sky customers the drama from every circuit around the world straight into the comfort of their own homes."
The new F1 season gets underway this Friday with the Bahrain Grand Prix.
