There is wonderful news for all motorsport enthusiasts as the upcoming season promises to be the most thrilling yet! Just days before the curtain rises on what is set to be the biggest season in history, Sky Sports F1® has welcomed a fantastic new member to its award-winning on-screen team. Paul Di Resta, the newly announced reserve driver for Williams, is joining the coverage to bring his expert analysis and passion for the sport to viewers across the UK.
This exciting expansion means that fans will enjoy even more insight during a season that features more races than ever before. With Sky Sports F1® remaining the only place to watch all 21 races live, this new partnership ensures that every moment of the action is covered with the highest level of expertise. Di Resta will be providing his professional commentary for a substantial number of races, adding depth to an already stellar lineup.
Paul brings a remarkable career to the broadcast booth. Having competed in 58 Formula 1® races between 2011 and 2013, he scored an impressive 121 points during his time with Force India. His journey to the top also includes winning the 2006 Formula 3 Euro series and claiming the prestigious DTM championship in 2010.

He joins a distinguished team that already includes three former F1® drivers: 1996 World Champion Damon Hill, alongside Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert. The broadcast family is further strengthened by the presence of Simon Lazenby, David Croft, Natalie Pinkham, Ted Kravitz, and Rachel Brookes as they enter their fifth season of coverage.
