Formula 1 fans have been buzzing as the 2023 season has kickstarted, with the Bahrain Grand Prix underway. The sport’s fanbase has increased significantly in the past few years since Netflix developed the famous docuseries: Drive to Survive.
Not only have people of various age groups been attracted to the sport recently, but so have more women, despite it being male-dominated. With that in mind, here is a look at the female commentators for the F1 2023 season.
