F1 presenters on Sky Sports in 2026: Meet the commentators, experts and analysts

Formula 1 was already one of the most brain boggling sports for fans to wrap their heads around prior to the 2026 regulation changes.

Just when you think you've cracked DRS, the basics of aerodynamics and impact of downforce, they move the goalposts. New technical regulations will make expert guidance more important than ever in 2026.

    Thankfully, Sky Sports F1's elite paddock of trusted presenters, experts, analysts and commentators will guide us all through the nuances and details of the 2026 season.

    The only notable change in 2026 is the exit of Danica Patrick from the team. The most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel car racing will not return to the team this season.

    She has made headlines in recent months airing political views in support of US President Donald Trump, leading to backlash from fans. It is unclear why Patrick is not included in the line-up for this season. Radio Times has reached out to Sky Sports for comment.

    The 24-race calendar offers plenty of drama and this is the team who will take you through the action every step of the way. Oh, and expect plenty of one-off appearances and special guests along the way too.
