Sky's F1 coverage will be in Ultra HD and HDR this season, starting with the Bahrain Grand Prix from Friday 18 March 2022.

Sky has confirmed that its entire F1 coverage for this season will be in 4K HDR: "We are pleased to bring the 2022 Formula 1 season to life in a way fans won’t have experienced before. The stunning picture quality offered through HDR will make viewing the new Formula 1 season even more exciting and impactful than ever," said Sky Sports' managing director, Jonathan Licht.

The coverage listed on the F1 section of the Sky Q menu system under "F1 in Ultra HDR", along with the description "...with breathtaking Ultra HDR, there's a new way to watch the exhilarating 2022 F1 season".

It will also be shown in "Ultra HDR" on Sky Glass.

Sky uses the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) form of HDR for its current programming. It was first introduced to Sky Sports broadcasts at the start of the current Premier League season last August.

You need a Sky Q capable of transmitting HDR signals to a 4K HDR TV that also supports the HLG format, which you can find out about here, or a Sky Glass television. You will also need an Ultra HD add-on to your respective subscription.

The entire F1 2022 season will be broadcast in the standard.
