Shock in Formula 1: Will Buxton leaves the racing series!

Formula 1 and its fans must now say goodbye to one of the best -known faces of the scene. Will Buxton, who gained immense awareness through the popular Netflix series "Drive to Survive", has announced his change to the American Indycar series. After seven years full of exciting reporting on "F1 TV", the moderator will now work for the US broadcaster "Fox Sports". Buxton, which originally started in the Indycar world, described the return as "extraordinary honor", as he announced in an Instagram contribution. "I look forward to seeing how 2025 will develop", Buxton continues after he described his time in Formula 1 as "unbelievable", such as Live reported.

an unforeseen ascent

Before Buxton came to "Drive to Survive", he was already part of the Formula 1 reporting. This unforeseen step into the popular series was a "complete accident" for Buxton, as he explained in the "Road to Success" podcast. The decision to use Buxton for interviews came as a surprise and was not originally planned as such. "I thought I was the interviewer," said Buxton about his first experience with the Netflix project. This unexpected turn caused him to become the main figure in the documentation from the role of the rapporteur. This development became a remarkable experience for both fans and Buxton itself, although it was often smiled at for his supposedly obvious statements, such as The Sports Rush noted.

With his move to the IndyCar series, Buxton may no longer be seen in future seasons of "Drive to Survive", which the fans are sad. Despite the sadness, the followers wish him every success in his new role. Buxton remains an integral part of the racing world and his passion for sport will continue to be inspiring for many.
