Hey! I’m Ellie, a Freelance Sport Writer with three and a half years experience working in the motorsport industry. 

 

After creating this website in September 2020 with the aim of just creating some fun written content and building a portfolio to show to employers after university, I ended up working with a range of exciting clients on various projects. From Females in Motorsport to MotorMouth, W Series to Red Bull, I’ve been lucky enough to tell the stories of incredible individuals in the motorsport world, whether they be racing drivers battling it out on-track or team personnel working behind the scenes and making everything tick.

 

With an incredible roster of names behind my independent projects - from racing drivers including Oscar Piastri, Nyck de Vries and Juan Manuel Correa to personalities working in motorsport including Alex Jacques, Lissie Mackintosh and Ted Kravitz - I have heard some of the most incredible stories, the highs and lows of racing, and what it’s really like to work in some of the best motorsport categories in the world. What started out as a passion project has led me to work with Formula E teams up and down the grid and some of the best known names in Formula 1. 

 

A passionate creative at heart with the desire to delve into the most emotional moments in one’s career, my journey in motorsport continued into 2023, when I joined Silverstone Circuit as their Features Writer. So far, this role has seen me work with many young drivers, including Abbi Pulling, Luke Browning and Zak O’Sullivan, as well as World Champions in their field, like the current FIA Formula E Champ Jake Dennis. I have explored what it’s really like to work in a successful team like Red Bull with Calum Nicholas and discussed the importance of advocating for change for women in motorsport with Jess Edgar. 

 

With a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication with Public Relations and having spent three years of my Undergraduate degree dipping in and out of motorsport for different assignments, I am trained in media relations and press releases. Currently, I am studying towards my Master of Science in International Sport Management, exploring sport in a brand new way from an academic perspective and gaining insight into Human Resources, Finance and Leadership and Governance.

 

I am always looking for new projects to get stuck into and new stories to tell. If you are looking for someone to jump onto something new, don’t hesitate to reach out.
