Overview
- During a Dec. 5 Qualifying Notebook segment at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz addressed a small group but did not identify Pippa Middleton.
- Kravitz named James Matthews as connected to Williams and cited Rebecca Donaldson as Carlos Sainz’s partner before asking, “Max, Lando or Oscar anybody?”
- Pippa appeared to turn away and walk off as Kravitz remarked that he could not hear any responses and moved along.
- The TikTok clip spread quickly, with some viewers bemused by the omission and others arguing the reporter’s job is to focus on Formula One rather than royal relatives.
- Coverage noted Pippa is the Princess of Wales’s sister and that Matthews, a former racer, joined the Williams board in 2020, while no official comments have been reported from those involved.
