DAZN Confirms Spanish Formula 1 Commentators for the New Season
Antonio Lobato will remain the voice for Formula 1 fans across Spain as DAZN continues to own the broadcasting rights for the championship. The platform has officially announced that Lobato will steer the narration of every race, backed by a trusted trio that includes Pedro de la Rosa and Toni Cuquerella. The announcement came in a DAZN press release issued this Thursday, underscoring the network wide plan to elevate how the sport is presented to Spanish audiences.
Lobato expressed excitement about this new chapter with DAZN. He spoke of the mission to lift Formula 1 to greater heights and keep fans hooked every weekend. His vision is to preserve the sense of shared passion that the sport ignites, with the aim that viewers stay captivated and dream about the races as intensely as fans do in real life. The broadcaster highlighted support for presenting what makes Formula 1 so compelling, including dramatic moments, strategic pit stops, and the personal stories that unfold behind the scenes during a race weekend.
Pedro de la Rosa will continue his multifaceted role within the DAZN team while also serving as an Aston Martin ambassador. His responsibilities include providing on-track analysis of Grand Prix events and offering fans a close look at the inner workings of the teams, including a special window into Fernando Alonso’s sector. De la Rosa remarked that after a lengthy winter, the new season holds promise. He anticipates a year in which two Spanish drivers will compete for two prominent teams, a scenario that will allow him to share insights and color the broadcasts with unique, on-site observations. His comments reflected a sense of anticipation for the coverage ahead and the chance to connect viewers with the sport on a deeper level.
Toni Cuquerella will maintain his voice as analyst and commentator across every Grand Prix. He noted that Formula 1 has reached new popularity in Spain in recent years, and he believes the best is still to come. His perspective centers on delivering informed, engaging commentary that brings technical detail and human interest to homes around the country. Cuquerella reiterated that it is an honor to bring everything he knows to fans each weekend, helping to paint a clear and vibrant picture of the action on track.
Together, the trio forms what media circles have labeled the skull trio, a longtime nickname for the Spanish broadcasting team that has become synonymous with Formula 1 narration in the country. This marks the seventh consecutive season with Lobato, de la Rosa, and Cuquerella as the primary voices guiding viewers through every race. The milestone also coincides with a broader celebration within DAZN of twenty years of collaboration with these broadcasters as the F1 coverage continues to grow and evolve.
DAZN also noted that the entire broadcast team will be completing its F1 coverage plans for the new season before the World Cup kicks off, ensuring that all programming and on-site reporting are aligned for the opening races. The emphasis remains on delivering a comprehensive, on-the-ground presentation that captures the strategy, pace, and spectacle of Formula 1, while keeping fans informed about driver developments, team dynamics, and race-by-race narratives. The press release reinforced DAZN’s commitment to informed analysis, clear storytelling, and a visually engaging viewing experience that resonates with audiences across Spain and beyond.
