The new app is available via the App store and will include F1 Race Control for every F1 session.
iOS users: Download the Sky Sports app from the App Store

Just to stress, if you have already downloaded the Sky Sports app, please update to the latest version if your phone isn't set to automatically update.
Why is Race Control moving home?
We've moved so that the Race Control service currently only available on iPads can also be experienced - and enjoyed! - on more devices, including your iPhone, iPad, Android phone and tablet.
So the big message is…?
Watching Sky F1 on your phone is about to become a whole lot better and easier. Spread the word!
Do l need to update my mobile phone to access Race Control?
No, just make sure you have the Sky Sports app installed on your device. So long as your phone is set to automatically update, Race Control will appear when the weekend's action begins.

What is Race Control?
Race Control is the Digital version of the Sky Sports F1 channel with goodies attached: in addition to providing a live stream of the Sky F1 channel during race weekends, users can also access the pit lane channel, onboard cameras, live data, and videos of on-track highlights.
In other words, it's up to you whether you want to enjoy Race Control for its enhanced features, or as a second-screen experience, or use it for a live stream of Sky F1 when you're out and about.
