1996 Formula One world champion Damon Hill announced on Friday he would be leaving the Sky Sports F1 team. Via a message on X, the analyst, who had been working with Sky for 13 years, revealed the news. The English media has since responded to Hill's departure.
After 13 years of Hill working for Sky Sports, the partnership between the broadcaster and the former Formula One driver has come to an end. Hill was criticised in recent weeks after his comments about Max Verstappen. The 22-time Grand Prix winner wrote that he was looking forward to challenges.
