The award for Best Visual Storytelling Using Data and Insight went to Sky Sports F1 for the Ghost Car feature that has been used to compare the performance of different drivers.

The Real Talk podcast, which was released during March and April, covered lesser discussed sporting topics such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, pelvic floor health, motherhood and retirement.

Littler stunned the sporting world by reaching the final at Alexandra Palace at the age of just 16 at the start of the year, with his crushing semi-final victory over former champion Rob Cross marking a historic moment.

Sky Sports F1 had long used side-by-side clips of rivals’ qualifying laps to analyse where time was being made but were able to enhance the viewer experience in 2024 by using a ghost car feature.

With no need for a split screen, the ghost car allowed viewers to see in remarkable detail how pole position battles were playing out.
