The 2016 Formula 1 season is more special than ever for Indonesians, as homeboy Rio Haryanto is making history by becoming the first Indonesian ever to compete in the world’s most prestigious motor racing event.
And as the season is about to kick off in Melbourne this weekend, Global TV has just announced that they have secured the TV rights to air the whole 2016 F1 season in Indonesia.
BREAKING NEWS! GlobalTV officially secured the rights to air #F1Australia2016 in Indonesia… You can witness @RHaryantoracing #RioF1Australia
Yes, GlobalTV is airing the whole season, all 21 races till the end.
This is indeed great news because now we won’t have to resort to pay-per-view TV to watch the new F1 season, provided you can put up with all of the ads.
The curtain raiser for the F1 season, the Melbourne Grand Prix, takes place on Sunday, March 20. You’ll be able to watch Rio’s debut live on GlobalTV at 11:30am.
