Will Buxton is one of the most recognizable voices in global motorsport. A British journalist and broadcaster with more than two decades in the paddock, he became a fan favorite as a central on-camera personality across all seasons of Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive, the series widely credited with fueling F1’s explosive growth in the United States. After serving as Formula One Group’s first digital presenter from 2018 to 2024, he made a high-profile move in 2025 to become the lead play-by-play commentator for the IndyCar Series on FOX Sports. He appeared as himself in 2025’s record-breaking F1: The Movie, and his book Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1 was a New York Times best-seller.
