‘Very soon’ – absent Sky F1 pundit reveals TV return timeline
Naomi Schiff, a beloved member of the Sky Sports F1 broadcast team, has hinted at a return to screens following her absence from several races in the 2025 season. With only two rounds remaining in this year’s championship, the Sky Sports crew is anticipating some well-deserved downtime before the commencement of a new season and new regulations in 2026. The 24-race calendar in 2025 led to a fluctuating schedule for presenters like Martin Brundle, David Croft, and Bernie Collins. Schiff’s hiatus was due to her pregnancy, as she took maternity leave after announcing she would return in 2026 following the birth of her child in October 2025. As she enjoys time with her newborn, fans eagerly await her comeback to the broadcast team. In a social media Q&A, Schiff assured fans that her return will be soon, emphasizing her dedication to the sport and her strategic planning for maternity leave during the off-season.
