Naomi Schiff was surprised to be offered a role as a Sky Sports pundit despite never having driven a Formula 1 car.
The 28-year-old is the newest member of the presenting line-up, having joined for the 2022 season. She previously raced in W Series for the 2019 season, before taking the role of diversity and inclusion ambassador for the all-female racing series.
It was during that time that Schiff – who holds duel Rwandan and Belgian nationality, grew up in South Africa and lives now in the UK – began to do more broadcast work. She was approached by her current employer ahead of last season, during which she began appearing regularly on F1 race weekends.
