Sky F1 commentators for the 2020 F1 season will be headlined by Ted Kravitz and David Croft, with Karun Chandhok and Martin Brundle too.
The man with the golden voice. Martin Brundle is a former F1 driver himself, no less, having raced in 158 Grand Prix. He raced for the likes of McLaren and Benetton during his 12 year F1 career.
What is not known about Brundle is that he finished second to the legendary Aryton Senna in the 1983 British F3 Championship, progressing to F1 the following year with Senna. He was also considered to be the 30th best driver of all time in a mathematical study by the University of Sheffield.
Brundle has covered F1 for ITV and BBC in the past. He joined the Sky F1 team in 2012, and has been commentating ever since. He is the go-to man when it comes to qualifying and main races all through the season.
