Sushmita
Formula One Journalist
I’m a Muck Rack–verified sports journalist with a strong focus on Formula One and NASCAR.
​
I cover race weekends, breaking news, and analytical stories that connect on-track action with wider narratives in motorsport media.
​
My experience spans independent journalism, international motorsport publications, and social media coordination within F1-accredited media communities.
I also have a background in digital content creation and visual storytelling, allowing me to approach sports journalism with both editorial and audience-first perspectives.
​
Motorsport has been central to my career journey, beginning with independent F1 blogging and evolving into professional reporting across established platforms.

EDUCATION
MA Communications
2024 - 2026
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Communication with a focus on media studies, digital storytelling, and audience behaviour. My academic work explores how narratives travel across platforms and how journalism adapts in a rapidly evolving media landscape. This program strengthens my foundation in research, strategic communication, and content creation skills that directly support my work as a motorsport writer and future F1 reporter.
BA Journalism and Mass Communication
2017 - 2020
Yup! You read that right, I majored in Journalism. Not only did I major in it, but I also topped in it. While there was a lot of pressure on me to pursue Law or MBBS (nothing wrong with any of those) I chose something completely different because I knew I would be good at it.
