Sky Sport's Martin Brundle will be absent from three races this season

Sky Sports pundit and commentator Martin Brundle will miss three races this season. He will not be present in Azerbaijan this weekend and will miss Sochi and Suzuka later in the season. 

The former driver made this announcement in a tweet this afternoon. He missed the 2016 Canadian Grand Prix and feel ill just before his grid walk in Silverstone last season. 

It’s not confirmed, but Paul di Resta is expected to join lead commentator David Croft on Sunday. 

I’m not in Azerbaijan this weekend (or Sochi and Suzuka later in the year) but my great and very talented friends at SkyF1 are of course. Because only Sky invest in bringing you every single minute and lap of F1 live, on various platforms, as listed below. https://t.co/ornPrHfsuL
