Renowned F1 presenter Will Buxton will join IndyCar next season to head up the American single-seater series' coverage, which is shown on Fox Sports. He will be joined by former IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe, who also works for F1 TV, and Townsend Bell. It is Fox Sports' first season leading the coverage of the US-based championship, with Buxton set to call its play-by-play with his aforementioned colleagues. "I’m absolutely thrilled to be embarking on this new and incredibly exciting opportunity to return to FOX, exactly 15 years after SPEED Channel offered a young and very green reporter his first break on network TV," said Buxton. "I’ve been a fan of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES for as long as I’ve been watching racing cars and have always marveled at the skill and bravery of its incredible drivers. "To have the chance to tell their stories and call their races is a dream come true, and something I never imagined I’d have the honor of doing. It’s a tremendous responsibility, and not one I take lightly." Update: Buxton later confirmed that his new IndyCar role means he will leave F1 TV.
