.Danica Patrick’s absence from the Sky F1 coverage for the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix has been officially confirmed. The renowned former IndyCar and NASCAR driver has been a notable presence in the broadcaster’s lineup throughout 2024, participating in all U.S. races and additional events in Mexico and Qatar, contributing to a total of seven scheduled appearances as a pundit.
Despite her regular involvement, Patrick has faced criticism from Formula 1 fans, particularly for expressing her support for Donald Trump on social media. This has led to a significant backlash, especially following her remarks regarding a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The controversy surrounding her political views has caused some fans to question her suitability as a commentator.
At 42 years old, Patrick last appeared on British screens during the Miami Grand Prix earlier this month. However, she will be in the United States this weekend, where she will shift her focus to the Indy 500, providing analysis and insights for Fox Sports. The Indy 500 is a prestigious race that holds a prominent place in motorsport history, and Patrick’s expertise in this area is highly sought after.
In light of Patrick’s absence, Sky Sports has announced their lineup for the Monaco Grand Prix, which will feature a mix of well-known personalities from the world of motorsport. The team will include Martin Brundle and David Croft, who will handle commentary duties, along with Simon Lazenby, Naomi Schiff, Jenson Button, Ted Kravitz, Natalie Pink
