Race Control, broadcasting every track session of the new season, is available to Sky F1 subscribers on all devices through the Sky Sports App

It has never been easier to watch Formula 1 on the move thanks to Race Control on the Sky Sports App.

Race Control is available to Sky F1 subscribers on all devices through the Sky Sports app and will broadcast every minute of Formula 1 2019's track action.

To get into the driving seat for the new season, all you have to do as a Sky F1 subscriber is add the Sky Sports App to your phone:

iOS users: Download the Sky Sports App from the App Store
Android users: Download the Sky Sports App from the Play Store

What is Race Control?
Race Control is the digital version of the Sky Sports F1 channel with goodies attached.

In addition to providing a live stream of the Sky F1 channel during race weekends, users can also access the pit lane channel, onboard cameras, live data, and videos of on-track highlights.

In other words, it's up to you whether you want to use Race Control for its enhanced features, or as a second-screen experience, or use it for a live stream of Sky F1 when you're out and about.
