Why is Naomi Schiff absent from F1 Italian GP?
Sky Sports F1 pundit Naomi Schiff will miss the Italian Grand Prix this weekend and several other races this season. Schiff joined the UK broadcasting team in 2023 after hosting post-race shows in 2022. She has contributed to the increase in F1’s female fan-base, and her marriage and pregnancy have been recent highlights in her life. Schiff bid farewell to the season at the Dutch GP, citing her pregnancy as the reason for stepping away temporarily. The upcoming Italian GP will feature Martin Brundle, Natalie Pinkham, Rachel Brookes, Karun Chandhok, Jamie Chadwick, and Nico Rosberg in the Sky F1 lineup. Despite Schiff’s absence, Sky Sports aims to keep fans engaged as the title battle intensifies, with McLaren leading the constructors’ championship and a tight race between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris for the drivers’ title.
