Alex Jacques-led F1TV commentary now available on Kayo Sports
Australians will have a choice in F1 commentary teams for the first time.
SYDNEY, Australia – The voice of Alex Jacques will be heard during the final four rounds of the Formula One World Championship, as Kayo Sports adds an alternative commentary option for Australian viewers.
"Kayo Sports customers will be able to hear from the popular F1TV commentary team via an alternative feed available for the final four races," according to a spokesperson.
The team is led by highly respected commentator Alex Jacques, alongside experts including Jolyon Palmer, James Hinchcliffe, David Coulthard and lead presenter Laura Winter.
The alternative commentary will only be available during Grands Prix.
"The final four races of this Formula 1 season are shaping up to be epic; a true spectacle of speed, strategy, and unscripted drama," said Adam Howarth, Foxtel Group Executive Director - Commercial Sport.
"With the championship on the line, every single lap will be critical, and Australian fans can experience every thrilling second on Kayo Sports."
"We're all about giving our customers more of what they love, and this dual commentary option offers unparalleled choice, allowing fans to tailor their viewing experience to perfectly match the thrilling action on the track."
It is the latest change in Foxtel's Formula 1 coverage since the introduction of 4K, and the first since the company was bought by streaming giant DAZN.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported in August that the company is expected to maintain the broadcast rights for Formula 1 for around $60 million AUD per year when the current contract expires in 2027.
