WILL BUXTON BIO

Will Buxton, a native of Portsmouth, UK, joined FOX Sports as the play-by-play voice for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES in 2025, the inaugural season for the series on FOX.

Buxton returns to the FOX family having begun his network television career on SPEED Channel in 2010 as pit reporter for the network’s Formula 1 coverage. His tenure reporting on motorsport began at the turn of the millennium, writing for F1 Magazine before a stint as Director of Communications for the GP2 (F2) championship, working with the likes of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. His return to print journalism in 2008 coincided with his appointment as lead announcer for the GP2 world feed, which subsequently brought him to the attention of SPEED.

He transitioned with the F1 broadcast rights to NBC Sports from 2013-2017, doubling up his Formula One duties with a pitlane role at various NTT INDYCAR SERIES races. With Liberty Media’s acquisition of F1, Buxton moved in-house in 2018 as the sport’s Digital Presenter and played an instrumental role in the championship’s push into digital media and the launch of F1TV where he became a central part of the channel, acting in multiple roles simultaneously, as lead presenter, pit reporter, analyst and lead announcer.

Many, however, will recognize him most readily from his major role in the popular F1 documentary series Drive to Survive, where he played a pivotal hand in helping the sport find its widest audience ever.

A New York Times best-selling author, an award-winning voice artist, and one of the most recognized and respected faces and voices of 21st Century motorsport, Buxton will commute to the United States from the United Kingdom where his wife and daughters live.
