Louise Goodman

Louise Goodman

Louise Goodman is one of the two pitlane reporters for ITV's Formula One coverage. Before this she worked in marketing for the Jordan team. Her former partner was John Walton, the Minardi team manager who died of a heart attack shortly before the 2004 British Grand Prix.

Dubbed as the first woman of Formula One coverage, Louise Goodman has been ITV's roving pitlane reporter since ITV took the rights in 1997. She usually handles driver interviews, while Ted Kravitz brings news from the teams about technical or tactical matters. She is taller than many F1 drivers, and is notable for wearing lots of jewellery on her arm.

Louise has had however some mishaps with ex-ITV F1 Commentator Murray Walker; during ITV's F1 coverage of the 2001 Canadian Grand Prix Murray called her "Louise Allen", no doubt getting her confused with then pitlane reporter, now commentator James Allen. He did it at least twice before Louise decided to get her revenge by handing back to him referring to him as "Murray Brundle".

Louise felt embarrassed when he said he had mistakenly said the wrong name at the end of the race.

She became the first female to be part of a pit stop when she removed the left rear tyre in a Midland pit stop for Tiago Monteiro at the 2006 British Grand Prix.

During Q3 at the Hungaroring in 2006 she interviewed David Coulthard who was knocked out in Q2 asking how the cold weather was affecting him. He replied," ummm...well, its a lot nicer to look at you in your tight t-shirts first out." Louise sounding startled," Thank you so much David I'll have a word with you later."Fact|date=March 2008 Then cut back to the main commentary team who also sounded rather flustered.

In 2007 she became the presenter of ITV's coverage of the British Touring Car Championship alongside Ted Kravitz.
