Martin Brundle Scales Back Sky F1 On-Site Role to 16 Races, Sets Miami Return

He uses the long break to urge the FIA to mandate linear, driver-controlled power delivery.

Overview

  • Brundle, who said Wednesday on The F1 Show he will work 16 events in 2026, skipped China and Japan after attending Australia.
  • He confirmed he will be trackside in early May for the Miami Grand Prix after a five-week gap in the schedule.
  • The break follows Formula 1 canceling the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian rounds because of the conflict in the Middle East.
  • During the hiatus he urged the FIA to stop self-learning energy deployment so power matches throttle input and drivers are not surprised.
  • He said he now avoids most early-morning local starts and cannot attend every weekend, a shift that has sidelined his popular pre-race grid walk at recent rounds.
