Sky F1 is the home of Formula 1 in the UK with every single race broadcast live on their platform in 2023 and their star-studded line-up is on hand to guide us all through the ups and downs of the campaign.

The growing legions of F1 fans are growing accustomed to hearing the excitable tones of David "Crafty" Croft waft over the airwaves, while Natalie Pinkham is a fan-favourite reported and Ted Kravitz's grid walks remain iconic – even if the celebs he tracks down fail to share his enthusiasm.
