Danica Patrick, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, is out as an F1 analyst at Sky Sports.
The former IndyCar and NASCAR competitor was missing from the broadcast lineup for the 2026 season that the network announced on Wednesday.
It comes ahead of the 2026 Australian Grand Prix, beginning Friday in Melbourne.
Some English media outlets have linked the move to Patrick’s support for Trump.
Patrick, who joined Sky Sports as a pundit in 2021 after she retired from racing, has yet to address the news.
The Sky Sports on-screen lineup will feature experts and analysts including Martin Brundle, Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Jacques Villeneuve, Naomi Schiff, Bernie Collins, Karun Chandhok, Jamie Chadwick and Anthony Davidson.
David Croft and Harry Benjamin will serve as commentators.
Presenters and reporters include Simon Lazenby, Natalie Pinkham, Ted Kravitz, Rachel Brookes and Craig Slater.
Sky Sports is the main Formula 1 rights holder in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
