Who is behind F1Minute?

Christine Blachford - Producer

Author and show anchor Christine became an avid follower of Formula 1 after getting a taste of the action way back in 2003. Today you'll find Christine putting her experience to good use today as writer and producer of F1Minute.

Low-cost, on-demand distribution changed the way Christine consumed media, on average she now watches and listens to a massive 50 independent broadcasts a week. Creating her own show based on similar principles was the next logical step.

Recent reports from Christine Blachford:

• Lewis Hamilton stripped of pole position in Spain
• Barcelona dishes up an unpredictable front row
• Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button lead practice in Spain
