Sky Sports F1 have announced an exciting opportunity for content creators to appear on their live broadcast in 2026.

Featuring household names such as Martin Brundle, David Croft and Jenson Button, Sky Sports have been leading Formula 1's coverage in the UK since 2012.

The broadcast has only grown in recent years featuring iconic segments such as Ted's Notebook and Martin Brundle's 'Grid Walk', and welcoming new names such as Bernie Collins and Naomi Schiff.

Now the broadcaster have launched their first ever nationwide competition to search for a 'Grid Insider' who will feature on Sky Sports F1. To enter, creators had to submit an audition tape with Sky Sports even producing their own spoof audition skit to promote the competition.

The winning creator will receive a one-off opportunity to present a segment on The F1 Show, will host an episode of the Paddock Pass across Sky Sports F1 socials, will feature as a guest on The F1 Show podcast, host an official Sky Sports F1 Watch Party for a Grand Prix and be treated to a behind-the-scenes experience at a race weekend.
