“I love my job and I won’t let anyone turn down my ambition or passion because they are uncomfortable with the volume,” she further wrote.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel also showed some appreciation for the presenter. The British driver tweeted, “Naomi is an ex-professional racing driver & totally qualified to give her opinion as part of the Sky team.”
Naomi is an ex-professional racing driver & totally qualified to give her opinion as part of the Sky team. She’s been a great asset since joining & we should welcome more representative broadcasting with open arms. Still have a long way to go to change these attitudes in sport. https://t.co/E6U7zX4XqI
