Athens, GA (Mar 26, 2009) - SIRIUS XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that it has expanded its coverage of Formula 1™ auto racing and will broadcast every race from the 2009 F1™ season live on both SIRIUS and XM. The races, which aired on SIRIUS last season, will now be available to SIRIUS and XM listeners nationwide.
The 2009 F1™ schedule kicks off this weekend with the ING Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Sunday, March 29 (1:00 am ET). SIRIUS XM will carry the race live in its entirety on SIRIUS channel 126 and XM channel 242. Last season’s Australian race was won by McLaren-Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, the British phenom who went on to become, at 23, the youngest world champion in Formula 1™ history with an impressive 2008 season that included five victories and five more podium finishes.
