Johnny Herbert Warns Martin Brundle and David Croft Could Be Next to Leave Sky Sports Following Damon Hill’s Shocking Departure

F1 pundit Johnny Herbert has raised concerns about the futures of Martin Brundle and David Croft at Sky Sports after the unexpected departure of Damon Hill. In a recent interview, Herbert speculated that if Hill was pushed out by Sky Sports, it might not be long before other senior figures like Brundle and Croft face similar treatment.

Damon Hill’s shocking departure from Sky Sports was announced on November 15, 2024, after 13 years with the broadcaster. Hill shared a heartfelt message on his official X account, reflecting on his time at Sky Sports and expressing gratitude for the colleagues he worked with. His final race as a presenter was the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2024.

Although Hill retired from F1 in 1999, he continued to make his mark as a commentator, first with ITV F1 and later with Sky Sports starting in 2012. His exit from Sky has left fans wondering whether it was a personal decision or whether he was removed by the network. This has led Herbert to question the future of other prominent figures at Sky, such as Brundle and Croft.

Speaking to FlashscoreUSA.com, Herbert said, “I don’t know whether it was [Hill’s] decision or Sky’s. If he was pushed, then you wonder what could happen to Martin Brundle and David Croft.” His comments have sparked speculation that more changes could be on the horizon for Sky Sports’ F1 team.

As of now, there has been no official announcement from Martin Brundle, David Croft, or Sky Sports regarding any potential departures. Fans of the Sky Sports F1 team will be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming months.

Hill, in his farewell post, praised his colleagues at Sky Sports, calling them “the most impressive bunch of professionals” he’s had the pleasure of working with. He expressed excitement for new challenges ahead, though he has not confirmed his next career move.
