Will Buxton
A motorsport journalist, commentator, broadcaster and presenter, Will Buxton has had the rare luxury of turning his life’s great passion into something resembling work for the better part of the last 20 years.
Born in 1981 in Portsmouth, England, Buxton grew up living on the Malvern hills and was a chorister at Worcester Cathedral. Later educated at the Lord Wandsworth and Farnborough Sixth Form Colleges in Hampshire, he penned an undergraduate thesis on ‘The Politics of Formula 1’ during his time at Leeds University.
His first break in journalism came writing for GrandPrix.com in 2001 before a full-time role as Staff Writer at the Official Formula 1 Magazine arrived in 2002. With the demise of the publication in 2004, Buxton toured the European Formula 1 races living in a camper van, writing for the Metro newspaper in London. His exploits came to the attention of the new GP2 Series, for which he became Director of Communications over the next three years.
