Why is Martin Brundle absent from the Austrian Grand Prix?
Sky Sports commentator and pundit Martin Brundle is notably absent from the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend, marking his fourth absence of the season.

Brundle and David Croft are absent for scheduled reasons, replaced by Harry Benjamin, Karun Chandhok, and Bernie Collins in commentary. Fans can expect Brundle to return for the 2025 British GP at Silverstone next weekend. Nina Pinkham leads the coverage at the Austrian GP alongside other pundits, with Ted Kravitz in the pit lane.
