Sky Sports F1 reveals coverage plan ahead of 2025 season with major new addition

Sky Sports F1 has confirmed its coverage plans as the 2025 season begins with the Australian Grand Prix. With a host of talented pundits and former Formula 1 personnel and drivers, the team will continue their coverage of the sport, something the broadcasting company began in 2012 when they took over from the BBC.

With 24 races this season, the team is growing bigger with popular and successful female racing driver Jamie Chadwick joining their ranks. She will be giving expert commentary alongside the likes of former F1 World Champions Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, and Jacques Villeneuve. Chadwick is a three-time W Series champion and 2025 European Le Mans Series pro-driver who will bring a new angle on the sport for viewers.

Joining them on screen are analysts and pundits Martin Brundle OBE, Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Jacques Villeneuve, Naomi Schiff, Bernie Collins, Karun Chandhok, and Anthony Davidson. Danica Patrick, who has come under fire from a handful of fans for her political beliefs, will also be returning.
