The program is created by our passionate team of experienced commentators, with deep in-sights to the racing sport and with the extra touch to make it available for persons with vision disability as well.

Our team currently produces a weekly show called “F1 update” to discuss the recent and most actual news such as the latest team developments, driver's rumours and a quick analysis of the upcoming race.
Additionally, we are providing live commentary throughout each official F1 race in our show “F1 live”. The commentary, provided by our experts, includes additional audio description content, to make the Formula 1 sports available to everyone.
