Jim Kimberley

Jim is a freelance motorsport journalist, editor, and podcaster with specialist knowledge in the junior single-seater ladder. On his journey to joining GPFans as a feature writer and columnist, Jim has created content for an international suite of online and print media outlets and has grown to be a recognisable presence in Formula 1's support series.

As well as Jim's work on GPFans, you can find his name covering racing in Canadian luxury lifestyle magazine Fueler, American motoring ezine Fortloc, and the Dutch-owned Feeder Series site talking about F1 Academy, F2, F3, and Formula Regional.

These are in addition to hosting and editing duties for the Feeder Series podcast, where driver guests have included stars who have rised to F1 such as Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant, plus Jim's regular guest appearances on insideF2's podcast, The F2 Show.

Jim was taken by the fast cars of Formula 1 as a child and has never looked back. Chasing the sport around the world, Jim still maintains that the only reason he writes and talks about Formula 1 instead of races in Formula 1 is because of his 6'4" height!
