Better radio, replays, and new rear-facing camera for F1's 2024 TV coverage

Improved team radio broadcasts, a new rear-facing camera and enhanced replays are the key components of an upgraded offering Formula 1 television viewers will get for 2024.

With F1 regularly pushing to improve technology for the international feed that is sent to broadcasters, a host of new developments are being introduced for the 2024 season.

Here is a run through of what is changing.

Better team radio

Team radio broadcasts will be improved for 2024, which should help deliver better messages and in a more timely manner.

F1 has created a new system to speed up the process of picking out the best team radio and getting it broadcast on the international feed. It should also help it not miss key moments that previously slipped through the net.

F1's director of broadcast and media Dean Locke said: "We haven't changed the delivery platform, but we've changed the producers' monitoring platforms.

"Occasionally we would get a snippet of team radio that was in a really long sequence, and even with four listeners and two producers they wouldn't quite get it all.

"Now, we can see all the radio coming in, and it's all subtitled as well, so we won't miss those nuggets.

"It should also be a bit quicker. We're normally running on about a 15-second delay roughly, and we are talking about shaving two or three seconds of that turnaround time. It doesn't sound much, but actually, it can be quite important."
