Johnny Herbert promised he "will be around" this year despite not being part of Sky Sports' Formula 1 coverage for the upcoming season.
Mirror Sport revealed on Wednesday that both Herbert and Paul di Resta will not appear on the channel this year. A Sky spokesperson confirmed the broadcaster will go into the new season with a 13-strong line-up with no new faces expected to join them.
The Sky Sports team will consist of presenters Natalie Pinkham, Simon Lazenby, Rachel Brookes and Naomi Schiff; commentator David Croft; pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz; and a rotating panel of pundits including the likes of Martin Brundle, Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg, among others.
