Formula One is to return to BBC TV after 13 years following ITV's decision to pull out of its deal to air the championship at the end of this season.
A new five-year exclusive deal understood to be worth around £200m across TV, radio, broadband and mobile has been signed between the BBC and Formula One Administration Ltd.
It will run from 2009 to 2013, inclusive, replacing ITV's existing deal, which was due to run until 2010.
