Motorsport Hall of Fame inductee, James Hinchcliffe, F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto, and well-respected paddock voice, Chris Medland.
Former W Series race winner, Alice Powell, and presenter, Ariana Bravo, also return as part of
the expert team. Commentary will be led by Alex Jacques alongside former F1 driver Jolyon
Palmer, supported by previous Head of Race Strategy, Ruth Buscombe, 13-time F1 race winner, David Coulthard, 2012 GP2 Champion, Davide Valsecchi, European Le Mans Series Champion, Alex Brundle, and Technical Analyst, Sam Collins.
New to the team this year are seven-time Formula 1 race winner, Juan Pablo Montoya, and presenter, Betty Glover.
The team will offer session‑by‑session breakdowns of the on‑track action and provide digestible explanations of strategy calls, technical developments, and key regulation changes to help fans understand how the rules shape performance and racing outcomes.
