Ted is a long-standing British Formula One reporter, working in the pit-lane for Sky Sports F1.

What happened to Ted Kravitz on F1 2019?
In late February 2019, there was speculation that Ted had been dropped from the Sky team following seven years of stellar service.
Reports speculated that Ted had been sacked by Sky Sports due to a disagreement with new Head of F1, Scott Young.
However, Sky confirmed in a press release that this was not the case.
Ted was confirmed as part of the line-up alongside Rachel Brookes, Martin Brundle, Jenson Button, David Croft, Anthony Davidson, Paul di Resta, Johnny Herbert, Damon Hill, Simon Lazenby, Natalie Pinkham and Nico Rosberg.
