Danica Patrick reportedly excluded from the F1 commentary panel for the 2026 season
Danica Patrick, the most successful woman in American open-wheel racing, is absent from Sky Sports' 23-race Formula One presenter lineup amid broader roster cuts.
- Sky Sports quietly removed Danica Patrick from its pundit lineup, a press release said she was relieved of duties as the 2026 F1 campaign opens Sunday in Australia with coverage from Melbourne.
- Her name was absent from Sky's official presenters list, following earlier departures of Johnny Herbert and Paul di Resta as Sky trims its roster for the 23-race calendar.
- A former IndyCar and NASCAR driver, Patrick, 43, was a pioneer in women's motorsport and largely covered North American races for Sky.
- A mainstay of the team will not be on screens this weekend, but Sky's coverage will continue to be fronted by Simon Lazenby, Martin Brundle, Naomi Schiff and Karun Chandhok for Melbourne race coverage.
- While Patrick has not spoken publicly, reports say she will concentrate on other projects this year, and Sky has yet to formally confirm the split.
