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.

Staying with the BBC for 2012...
posted by Lee McKenzie on 27/11/2011
A short note to say that I’ll be staying with the BBC next season. Having been at Sky and ITV previously, I did think about it all for a long time but the BBC will be at every race next year and it is not often that you can be part of a BAFTA winning team. Of course, like you, I wish we could do every race live but I’m sure you will be suitably impressed with our highlights show for the non-live events and as for the lives – well they’ll be bigger and better than ever. I am very proud of what we have achieved over the last three years and there is no reason that should change in the future. Thanks for reading,as always. Lee x Read more...

When I first suffered an anaphylactic shock, my main concern was that it would prevent me from travelling abroad – not because I am a travel junkie but because that is how I earn my living. Read more...

Some tracks might leaving you longing for another few days off but the trip to the wet and cold corner of Belgium seems to unite everyone and people return to work with a smile on their face!
