Formula One is set to move to Ultra High Definition broadcasts next year after trials of the technology began at last week's Singapore Grand Prix.
The race in the city state was covered by F1 partner Tata, who worked alongside Sky and supplied UHD footage that was combined with the footage from regular producer Formula One Management.

"UHD offers four times higher resolution than HD, making F1 a more powerful, immersive experience for fans than ever before," Sky's director of operations Keith Lane is quoted by F1i. "The success of this proof of concept in Singapore shows that we're on track to show every race live in UHD next season using our next-generation Sky Q home entertainment service, and to continue to give our customers the action-packed F1 experiences that they crave."
F1's move to UHD could lay the foundations for the much-talked about move into virual relity in the near future.
"Other game-changing technologies like Virtual Reality will rely on ubiquitous, superfast connectivity too," said F1 business at Tata Communications managing director Mehul Kapadia.
"As the break-neck speed of technology innovation continues, we'll work with Formula One Management to enable fans to experience the exhilarating world of F1 in new ways."
