Will Buxton

A broadcaster and journalist with over 20 years under his belt in the high octane world of international motorsport, Will Buxton is one of the best known faces and voices of his generation. A lifelong fan of motor racing, Buxton began his career with a fulltime role as staff writer at Formula 1 Magazine in the early 2000s. In 2005 he joined the new GP2 Series as its head of communications, working with the likes of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in their formative years, before a return to fulltime journalism in 2008, which coincided with his first forays into race commentary. In 2010 he was invited to become the Formula 1 pitlane reporter for America's SPEED channel and after three years at the network was picked up by NBC Sports for their F1 and Indycar coverage. After five years at NBC, Buxton moved to work inhouse at Formula 1 as the sport began to expand its digital offering and today is the lead presenter on F1TV. Many, however, will know him best for his work on the Netflix sensation, Drive to Survive, which has introduced both him and the sport to a brand new generation of fans.
