Experience in the Field

Kerry has played a vital role as part of the core GPFans editorial team since 2024, branching out from her position as F1 News Editor to focus on a high volume of written contributions from an F1 news perspective and with a focus on F1 merchandise.

She has also carried out on-site reporting for GPFans at exclusive events, passing on quotes to the wider team for news articles and writing up her own features and fan guides based on her experience at events such as the F1 Exhibition and An Evening with Racing Icons Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard.

During a busy F1 race weekend, Kerry is either managing the workload and journalists covering the track action, ensuring fair and accurate reporting, or she is working on her own coverage of the grand prix weekend.

Editorial Approach

Kerry takes a fan-focused approach to her writing, whilst always maintaining an open line of communication with team press contacts and communications representatives for Formula 1 and the FIA.

Any rumours that come to Kerry’s attention, both as a writer and in her capacity as an editor, are dealt with through appropriate verification, seen through gathering official team statements and leaning on reliable sources with which she has worked hard to maintain a positive working relationship with since joining the GPFans team.

Kerry also keeps these sources in mind to get ahead of the next biggest motorsport stories, approaching teams and contacts for official comment when a big news story is about to break, whilst also identifying appropriate opportunities to seek out the potential for follow-up stories too.
