what i do...
I have the fantastic "job" of travelling to every Formula 1 Grand Prix for the BBC as their Pit Lane reporter. Basically, I spend my weeks inter viewing some of the fastest men around! I also head off between races and get a glimpse of their lives away from the track and find out what makes them tick.
I also present on BBC Scotland’s outdoor show Landward. I have covered lots of sports and major news stories in my years of journalism. From Formula One to Horse Racing, Tennis to Super Bikes and even Sports News to the Six O'clock news - I am a journalist who has moved off the pages and on to the television. I have worked for ITV, Sky Sports and Sky Sports News. One crazy scheme even saw me getting my International co-driving licence and competing in a round of the World Rally Championship!
If that is not enough, I still look after some drivers outside of F1 – it also gives me a chance to try and see some stars of the future.
For more information please take a trip round my website.

Japanese Excitement and Back to Work!
posted by Lee McKenzie on 23/08/2010
I cannot believe it is that time of year already. The summer break is over and we are ready for the final charge of the F1 season! I always love going to Spa, as many of you know, it’s my favourite circuit on the calendar. I love the atmosphere, the history and just the excitement and racing that the Belgian Grand Prix always throws up. I am also pretty excited because Jake Humphrey will be handing over the reins to me for the Japanese Grand Prix at the beginning of October! Whilst Jake is off presenting the Commonwealth Games I will be hosting the F1 with the usual suspects David and Eddie! Read more...
British Grand Prix Fever
posted by Lee McKenzie on 05/07/2010
You have got to let the Brits have something to cheer about... The football was a shambles for England, Andy Murray played extremely well but could not deliver at Wimbledon so it is a good job that we have the British Grand Prix this week – surely that can give us all something to raise our spirits.

LEE v MSC! Getting ready to take on Schumacher!
posted by Lee McKenzie on 29/06/2010
This week I cannot wait to get filming on my weekend “off”. A couple of months ago I was asked if I would like to take part in a Reining Competition against Michael Schumacher at the family ranch in Switzerland. Until a few weeks ago I must admit I didn’t know what reining was. Now I do, the physio does and everyone at the BBC does too! Think of it like world rally on horse back! I will put a link to a youtube video at the end of this feature. Read more...
