Videos of CBS Sports’s coverage of Formula One and Indy Car races.

This is one of the rare times that CBS Sports had the rights to televise a Formula 1 race. Other times when CBS Sports had the rights to televise a Formula 1 race were the 1981 United States Grand Prix West, the 1983-1991 Detroit Grand Prix(s); and the entire 2005 Formula 1 season.

As expected, CBS had used Ken Squier to call this race; because of Ken’s wealth of knowledge in calling motorsports events.
