Jennie Gow, one of the star commentators in Drive to Survive is back at work this weekend, eight months after suffering a stroke deprived her of her speech.
Gow, who presents the BBC’s Formula One motor-racing coverage as well as appearing in the hit Netflix series, suffered a stroke at her home on December 29, triggered by a bad cough.
The Times of London reports that Gow spent New Year’s Eve in hospital unable to move or speak, while her family was told the stroke was “possibly fatal.”
But this weekend, she is back on duty, reporting on the Dutch Grand Prix, where the current world champion Max Verstappen will be competing in front of his home crowd.
Gow tells The Times her memory of experiencing the stroke remains hazy, and that she has had to re-learn how to pronounce words, after being given a whiteboard to write messages:...

Making a show about a global phenomenon, with the outcome decided long before a TV season ever makes it to audiences, seems like it could be a hindrance. Mining drama from something already definitively decided months ago is a challenge that “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” has faced since it debuted its inaugural season in 2019.
Over that time, though, this Netflix documentary series has unlocked a nifty trick to better tell the stories of the drivers and teams that make up this worldwide auto racing circuit: It moves backwards. Series executive producer James Gay-Rees said that it’s been a helpful guiding force from the start.
“It’s really liberating. Big props have to go out to Nat Grouille, the executive at Netflix that we’ve worked with since day one on this. He really did open our minds to how we could build this show,” Gay-Rees said. “One of...
