Sky Sports F1 reporter Rachel Brookes has announced her departure from the broadcaster after spending many years covering Formula 1.

Brookes confirmed the news in a post on social media, revealing that she is leaving the Sky F1 team to pursue new opportunities while remaining involved in the sport.

She wrote on X: "After many years at Sky I am moving on to exciting new ventures and looking forward to what comes next. I have left the Sky F1 team but F1 still has my heart & so I’ll still be involved in it. I’ll keep you posted, in the meantime see you at Silverstone!"

The popular broadcaster has been a familiar face in the F1 paddock for years, conducting interviews with drivers, team principals and key figures throughout race weekends. 

Her work has seen her become one of the most recognisable members of Sky Sports' F1 coverage, reporting from circuits around the world and covering some of the biggest moments in the championship.

While Brookes has not revealed details of her next role, she made it clear that her involvement in F1 is far from over, suggesting fans will continue to see her around the paddock.

Brookes' departure marks the end of a lengthy spell with Sky Sports, although her message points towards an exciting new chapter, with more details expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
