Canadian Grand Prix to air live on Sirius

Friday, Jun. 06, 2008

SIRIUS Satellite Radio will air live coverage of the FORMULA 1 Canadian Grand Prix this Sunday, June 8 at 1:00 pm ET exclusively on SIRIUS channel 125.

This weekend's race marks the 30th year racing on Īle Notre-Dame in Montreal. The track, Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, features 14 turns and is one of the most demanding on the F1 calendar. Last year's race resulted in the first grand prix win for then-rookie MCLAREN/MERCEDES driver Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain, who returns to Montreal as this season's points leader.

Sunday's live race broadcast, which will be provided by BBC Radio, will also replay on SIRIUS channel 125 on Sunday night, June 8 (6:00 pm ET), Saturday, June 14 (10:00 am ET) and Sunday, June 15 (8:00 am ET).

As the exclusive North American radio broadcaster of all F1 races, SIRIUS will broadcast the entire remainder of the 2008 calendar's races live nationwide on SIRIUS 125.
