SKY SPORTS F1 BROADCASTER CONFIRMS EXIT

Longtime Sky Sports F1 broadcaster Rachel Brookes has confirmed her immediate departure after 17 years with the company. Brookes became an integral part of Sky's F1 coverage from 2012, becoming a familiar face best known for her driver interviews in the media pen at every Grand Prix.

While confirming her exit from the Sky F1 team, Brookes strongly hinted she is staying within the championship, posting on social media that "F1 still has my heart and so I'll still be involved in it." She even teased fans with "see you at Silverstone," suggesting her presence at next week's British Grand Prix. This move marks a significant change for Sky's F1 presentation, which has held exclusive UK broadcast rights since 2019 and recently extended its deal until at least 2034. Her departure leaves a noticeable void in Sky's paddock lineup as the season progresses, with fans awaiting her next move in the sport.
