Netflix and the BBC face a decision over the future of Drive to Survive commentator Jack Nicholls, who was today dropped from the Formula E championship following an investigation into inappropriate behavior.
Nicholls’ commentary is used on both Netflix smash Drive to Survive and the BBC’s Formula 1 coverage. Although he has not been investigated by the BBC or Formula 1 producer IMG, The Guardian reported that he stepped aside from its coverage of last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix as a result of Formula E’s findings.
Neither Netflix nor the BBC had responded to Deadline’s requests for comment by publication time. Formula E said today that it had carried out a third-party investigation into Nicholls following “complaints of inappropriate behaviour,” which were broken by The Times. “Following this investigation, Jack Nicholls’ contract to provide race commentary was terminated,” added a spokesman for the electronic car racing championship.
Nicholls’ departure was confirmed before this weekend’s race in Jakarta but Formula E did not initially explain why he exited at such short notice, until news of the investigation came out.
