As soon as she joined the team, Patrick became a controversial figure. She often had strong opinions that rubbed people the wrong way, and her political beliefs also clashed with fans’ more often than not.

On Wednesday, Sky Sports confirmed that Patrick wouldn’t join them in the 2026 Formula 1 season, which will start on Thursday night with the free practice 1 at Albert Park, where the Australian Grand Prix will happen this year.

David Croft remained as lead commentator, with Simon Lazenby, Natalie Pinkham, Ted Kravitz, Rachel Brookes and Craig Slater joining him as presenters and reporters.

Many fans reacted to the news on social media, celebrating the decision while criticizing Patrick’s analysis during her six-year tenure with the network.

“I’m sure her MAGA bonafides will serve her new Podcast well. The less I see her face, the gladder I am,” one fan said.

“Seriously, the mindless bimbo won nothing while racing and is best known for being dumped by the playoff choking anti-vax drama seeker,” another fan said.


“She wasn’t an analyst but a spectator with a mic who doesn’t understand F1,” a third fan said.

“LITERALLY every bit of analysis she gave was terrible. She called Marina Bay an ‘easy track’ and Rosberg would just cringe and say ‘what the hell are you talking about,’” a fourth fan said.


“She’s terrible. No business in F1. Just like her NASCAR career, she’s 100% a diversity hire because she’s (was) attractive,” a fifth fan said.

“Wow she crashed as an analyst too,” a sixth fan added.


Patrick didn’t make many fans during her time with Sky Sports. She only appeared in the American races and the Canadian Grand Prix, but fans didn’t enjoy a bit of her work.
