New deal close for German Formula 1 broadcaster

Formula 1 looks set to remain on free-to-air television in Germany.

Formula 1 looks set to remain on free-to-air television in Germany.

As the 2017 season ended and Niki Lauda retired as a television pundit, a dark cloud hung over the future of German broadcaster RTL's F1 deal.

However, Bild now reports that talks between RTL and Liberty Media are now essentially done.

It is claimed that the 2018 season opener from Melbourne will definitely be shown free-to-air within Germany.

However, a RTL spokesman insisted: "I cannot confirm that. There is no contract. We are not ready yet."

Former F1 drivers Nico Rosberg and Timo Glock will reportedly alternate at grands prix to replace the retiring F1 pundit Lauda.
