I am editor, covering the Formula 1 with a penchant for the political and financial aspects of the sport.

I’ve worked in F1 for almost two decades, and have attended countless events since first being accredited at the 2010 Singapore Grand Prix. In that time I’ve interviewed Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris, Zak Brown, Stefano Domenicali, Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart, and a host of others.

As deputy editor, I work to deliver not only exclusive news and interviews directly from the F1 paddock with an extreme focus on accuracy and fairness, while remaining interesting and entertaining to fans old and new.

About

My journalism career began in club level motorsport around Sydney before quickly becoming a freelance contributor to Pitpass and Motorsport News magazine in Australia. I’ve experience in GT and one-make racing as a commentator, as well as in television production. I joined Australian motorsport publication Speedcafe in 2017 where I became F1 Editor and the first Australian-based journalist to ever gain permanent FIA accreditation. In 2020, I was named Motorsport Australia’s Journalist of the Year.

I frequently appear on television and radio throughout Australia and the Asia/Pacific region to speak about Formula 1 and am a regular guest on podcasts.
