Both companies will broadcast in high definition.
Races screened by the BBC will be live on the BBC Sport website for UK users.
The BBC will have highlights on TV, online and mobile for any race it is not showing live, and all races will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 live.
...< snip waffle by spokesperson about being a good deal for fans..>
Races shown live on BBC TV will include the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the Monaco GP and the concluding race of the season.

no mention about how the pie will be divvied up.
I'll be carrying on watching F1, but it looks like I'll only be able to see highlights of the 1/2 not carried live by the BBC, a return to the 80s in a way when I used to just watch the BBC2 highlights programme on a Sunday night, since I was invariably at a racetrack during the day and would not have set the VCR to record as I ran out the door.
