The Formula 1 circuit and ESPN have agreed to a renewed three-year deal for United States rights through 2025, Sports Business Journal reported Friday.

Amazon and Comcast both were in negotiations, up against the Disney-owned ESPN.

According to the report, the new deal is worth between $75 million and $90 million. The previous deal between the two entities was for three years and $15 million.
