Two Formula 1 pundits issued grovelling apologies on social media after they were suspended over sexist comments they made on air at the Spanish Grand Prix.
It happened during a post-race analysis show on Sky Sport, the Italian sister channel of the UK broadcaster. Davide Valsecchi and Matteo Bobbi, who both enjoyed racing careers prior to their roles as F1 pundits, both made comments about a woman in the background of the broadcast.
Bobbi, who was speaking from the studio, suggested Valsecchi, who was in the paddock, should look behind him at the woman, who he described as an "upgrade package". Valsecchi then replied: "I know, but they told me I can't test them. So I raise my hands."
