“The great thing about David is that, having covered every grand prix
for the last five years, he’s very current, already has an enormous fan
base, and is an exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate commentator.”
Sky also announced that Steve Rider, who fronted ITV’s Formula
One coverage between 2006-2008, will be responsible for presenting a
series of interviews and features with current and past drivers.
“Ted Kravitz has huge knowledge of the pitlane and paddock and he and
Natalie Pinkham will get the information and access our viewers need,”
added Turner.
“And guiding us through the coverage we have the experience of Simon
Lazenby and Georgie Thompson. Each has hosted major sports events, from the
British Lions to the Ryder Cup – they have trust and respect.”
The 2012 Formula One season gets underway at the Albert Park circuit in
Melbourne, Australia on the weekend of March 16-18 and will conclude on the
weekend of November 21-23 at the Interlagos track in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
