Ed Spencer

The story

From a sports journalism degree to nine accredited Grands Prix.

I’m a journalist specialising in Formula 1, based in Rugeley, England. I came up through the University of Chester’s sports journalism programme, graduating with a 2:1, and have spent the years since covering motorsport in every form an editor can publish.

My first regular byline was at insideF2 in 2020, covering Formula 2 weekend by weekend — practice, qualifying and race reports, plus a long-running “F2 Graduates” interview series with names like Antonio Giovinazzi, Mark Blundell and Karun Chandhok. Since then I’ve worked across Motorlat, Total-Motorsport and autoevolution, covering everything from F1 testing days to historical lookbacks and breaking exclusives.

I’ve been accredited at nine Grands Prix as a journalist and produced up to twelve pieces over a single race weekend. I’ve also stepped into IndyCar and sportscar coverage, and I’m now actively exploring PR and social-side work to diversify the portfolio.

What you can count on: a writer who already knows the story before the press release lands, files clean copy on deadline, and treats motorsport as the technical, human, narrative-driven sport it actually is — not just a results page.
