Who?
Oh no, another presenter for Sky's box ticking. She's come from the highly valued, experienced and relevant-to-F1 background of... F1 Academy and Formula E...the two narrative-compliant motorsports.
And isn't she an annoyingly overly energetic, fast-talking shouty zany shock to your early morning wake ups?
Sky F1 just gets better.

Came here to see if any comments
Combination with Craig Slater and his Mr Tickle hand waving/gesticulating plus of course Mr Croft.
Another weekend with volume on mute.
Bring back Rachel Brookes.
Rachel was the best interviewer among the whole team. IIRC the only one who was a journalist first, before moving to a presenter role. Wonder what happened for her to disappear mid-season, which obviously wasn’t planned? Combination with Craig Slater and his Mr Tickle hand waving/gesticulating plus of course Mr Croft.

F1TV about to pick up a few more viewers…

I got the impression Sky took advantage of her pleasant nature, gave her all the sF1TV about to pick up a few more viewers
t jobs and Pinkham or the useless one (not Bernie) got the better roles.I thought the same. Really don’t understand what her role is, or what she adds.
Sky already have a fairly competent team of female presenters and pundits, and far better qualified:
Natalie - very professional and experienced anchor.
Naomi - questionable qualifications, but serves her role well enough.
Bernie - a great addition for her technical and strategic knowledge
Jamie - probably the most accomplished and widely experienced current female racing driver
Rachel - served her time well, surprised she left.

She got hacked off with all the criticism and probably got a better offer elsewhere.
There were rumours that it was something to do with severe online abuse she had received following her interview with Verstappen after the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, the one where he rammed Russell. She denies this was the case so likely it is or at least it was a contributing factor.This was quite funny. Her first bit was similar to someone who has done a line of coke.
Its troubling that the presenting style developed by media people on drugs seems normal to the youth who emulate it.
The general youth population go on to have all sorts of problems living up to this mad upbeat act without drugs.
At least the subsequent bits were less frenetic lol.

But she left a year later? Baldinho said:

I don't get what this bloke does? Just a few pointless questions before every race? And he gets to travel the world? Does he do anything else? Every driver seems immediately fed up and gives sarcastic answers to his stupid questions whenever they see him.Onboarded as the kimi whisperer. All the others are too old to interview a 20yo properly about what posters he has on his bedroom wall.
Never mind all the old heads he deals with at mercedes in a very serious job.
Still its better than when the sky clowns tried to dream up huggy kissy relationships between the drivers.
Does anyone still say bromance?
