Formula 1 has officially confirmed its broadcasting and paddock plans for the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix, following the unexpected absence of veteran broadcaster Martin Brundle at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka.
Brundle, a staple of Sky Sports F1 coverage and renowned for his iconic pre-race grid walks, was notably missing from the Suzuka paddock over the weekend, sparking fan speculation and media curiosity. Sky Sports later confirmed that the former F1 driver was dealing with minor health concerns but is expected to return soon.
In the meantime, F1 organizers have assured fans that the Bahrain GP, scheduled for later this month, will proceed with full coverage. Sky Sports is preparing a refreshed broadcast lineup, potentially featuring guest analysts and additional behind-the-scenes content to compensate for Brundle’s temporary absence.
“While we missed Martin at Suzuka, the show goes on,” an F1 spokesperson said. “We’re looking forward to an exciting race weekend in Bahrain with our full media team delivering world-class coverage.”
The Bahrain GP will also be pivotal for the 2025 championship standings, as teams ramp up development and drivers push for early-season dominance. Fans can expect the usual drama on track—and a few surprises off it.
