Meanwhile, we continue to provide high quality content across all of our 11 sports channels.

The correct thing to do.

I am not sure I will be able to stop / start my SSF1 sub though. I've had it a very long time, from back when you could just add it in isolation without taking any other sports channels. I don't think you can do that any longer? Sky change the way they bundle their offerings so often it is difficult to keep up. Makes it very hard to work out what the single sports channel actually costs as well because I upgraded to Sky Q along the way.

Formula 1 is working in collaboration with the UK government and other organisations to co-ordinate an effort by all seven UK-based teams to help address a shortage of respiratory equipment amid the coronavirus crisis.

On Monday the government put out an official call to businesses that might be able to help supply ventilators or components, as well as more specific help in areas such as rapid prototyping, design and testing.

Teams have offered to get involved and provide expertise at a time when they have capacity due to the lack of racing.

In a statement, F1 said: "A collective of UK-based Formula 1 teams, engine manufacturers and their respective technology arms is evaluating support for the manufacture of respiratory devices in response to the UK Government's call for assistance.

"The teams are working in collaboration with Formula 1, the UK Government and other organisations to establish the feasibility of the teams producing, or supporting the production of, medical devices to help in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

"All the teams have expert design, technology and production capabilities, and specialise in rapid prototyping and high value manufacturing, which is hoped can be applied to the critical needs set out by Government.

"Working with Innovate UK, the High Value Manufacturing Catapult team and UCL and University College London Hospitals, the teams are evaluating a number of routes in conjunction with existing manufacturers and organisations from the aerospace and automotive sectors.

"It is hoped this work, which is being rapidly progressed, will produce a tangible outcome in the next few days."

Really quite interesting to read F1 factories might be gearing up to aide health equipment.

Remembering the great Ayrton Senna on what would have been his 60th birthday.
