David Croft, the voice of Formula 1 on Sky Sports, is conspicuously absent from the commentary box at this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The man affectionately known as “Crofty” has been the lead commentator for Sky since 2012, and before that, he held the same role for BBC Radio 5 Live. His absence is notable, as he’s only missed one race in the past 17 years – the 2007 European Grand Prix, when his son was born.
