Formula 1 presenter and the voice of Netflix’s Drive to Survive series Will Buxton has emerged as a candidate to join Fox’s IndyCar broadcast team in 2025
Formula 1 presenter and Netflix’s Drive to Survive voice Will Buxton is being considered to join Fox’s IndyCar broadcast team for the 2025 season, sources confirm. Fox is taking over IndyCar’s TV coverage from NBC and aiming to assemble a top-notch commentary team. Buxton, renowned for his F1 work, is familiar with US networks, having previously worked for Speed (owned by Fox) and NBC Sports covering F1 and IndyCar until 2017. Buxton’s potential move to IndyCar would impact F1 broadcast arrangements, with scheduling conflicts between the two series throughout 2025. Despite no decision yet from Buxton or Fox, a shift to IndyCar would affect his availability for F1 at the season’s beginning but open up opportunities later in the year. Additionally, Buxton is set to host the launch of the Prema IndyCar team before the Fox news surfaced.
