Dav🦩id Croft will not be in the comment🎉ary box for this weekend’s race in Azerbaijan.

Croft has been ever-prese♛nt since the 2012 Australian Grand🧜 Prix as Sky’s lead commentator.

His absence for this weekend comes 🌞as no surprise with Croft announcing it ahead of the season.

Croft will s𓄧tep aside for Imola, Austria and Azerbaijan, giving Harry Benjamin the hot seat f✅or those races.

The 53-year-old revealed in February that 🎶he’s keen to take some time off, particularly 𒊎as he's recently just got married.

Croft told earlier this year: “It’s more about keeping 𓃲fresh for the whole season. I’m not getting any younger.

“I’ve given up and sacrificed a lot for my career. I want to give a bit of time back to my family and not be on the other side of the world. I’m getting married this year as well, s🍬o I’꧃ve got a wedding to organise!

“But I also want to sit and watch a race at home. I wa﷽nt to enjoy it. Maybe I can learn something by not commentating on a race. I can spot a few things when I’m watching – I want t🗹o see what the viewer sees.”
