Gemma was always the obvious choice for this role; she has an unrivalled knowledge and passion for this important feeder series in Formula 1. To be honest, there isn’t a presenter on television who can do a grid walk with so much confidence." An ecstatic Gemma told Road: "I am absolutely delighted to be working with ESPN and the KPC Media team on their fantastic coverage of The World Series by Renault, which has to be the most exciting and most followed single seater championship outside F1, and Indy Car. There are current Formula 1 drivers still racing with the World Series and rumours of a step up to F1 for at least 2 more in 2012. This is where Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso graduated from, to name just a few – it’s the place to be!" In addition to the main race, the team will cover qualifying and pre-race build up, bringing interviews with the drivers and their teams, and all the latest news and updates.
