The source has added that Ted’s notebook won’t be part of the Sky Sports’ coverage of the 2019 F1 season.
“Although Sky Sports F1 has confirmed that Ted Kravitz will be part of its team in 2018, it appears the popular ‘Ted’s Notebook’ segment will vanish from the Sky Sports F1 schedule. A strong source in the paddock confirmed to GPToday.net that there are ongoing talks about the role that Kravitz will play for the British broadcaster.” the Gptoday.net report stated.
Also, Ted Kravitz won’t be present at all races for the 2019 season. 12 or 13 race weekends is all that Ted Kravitz will get this season.
