Austria could lose its free to air television coverage of formula one from 2020.

In the country, F1 is currently shown on ORF, an Austrian public broadcaster.

But reports suggest that, to cut costs, ORF will end its current deal after the 2019 season.

The report said ORF currently pays about EUR 10 million per year for its broadcast rights.
