Naomi Schiff, the former racing driver and Sky F1 television pundit, has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

Schiff has become a familiar face on television screens since joining Sky Sports ahead of the F1 2022 season, attending a number of races each year in a punditry capacity.

The 31-year-old, of dual Rwandan-Belgian nationality, also serves as a co-presenter for the French F1 broadcaster Canal+.

Her move into television came after a racing career that saw Schiff finish second in class at the Nurburgring 24-hour race in 2018 and compete in the inaugural season of the now-defunct all-female W Series in 2019.

Schiff finished 16th in the 2019 W Series standings with two points to her name.

Schiff married her long-term partner Alexandre Dedieu last September, with the couple announcing that they are expecting their first child.

The pair posted a short clip to social media on Monday to confirm the news with the accompanying caption: “Been keeping the tiniest little secret.”

In a separate post, the couple added: “Half way to meeting you, our littlest love.”

Schiff’s news was warmly welcomed by several high-profile members of the F1 community, who responded by leaving comments on her post.

Jenson Button, the 2009 F1 World Champion and Schiff’s fellow Sky F1 pundit, wrote: “Congratulations guys.”

Button’s wife Brittny added: “Omg congratulations.”

Jamie Chadwick, the three-time W Series champion who became the latest addition to Sky F1’s punditry lineup in 2025, added: “Amazing news! Congrats to you both.”

Natalie Pinkham, the veteran Sky F1 presenter, wrote: “The BEST news….and that gene pool.”

Pinkham’s comment was accompanied by a single emoji featuring love hearts for eyes.

Ruth Buscombe, the former Ferrari and Sauber strategist now working as a pundit for F1 TV, posted the same emoji nine times along with the comment: “The best news.”

Sophie Kumpen, the mother of Red Bull driver and reigning four-time World Champion Max Verstappen, added: “Congrats.”

Federica Masolin, the former Sky Italy host who recently announced that she is expecting her first child, said: “Sooooo happy for you.”
