Matt Bishop
Matt Bishop (born 1962 in London) is a British journalist specialising in Formula One since 1996 and a former Group Director of Media, Content and Communications for McLaren. In January 2008, he joined the Formula One team, having been an automotive journalist and editor since 1991.
Previously, Bishop had been Editor in Chief of the Formula One magazine F1 Racing.[1]
In December 1996, he took on the editorship of F1 Racing which he left in December 2007. F1 Racing had become the world's best-selling grand prix magazine, according to its own strap-line which appears on its front cover every month.
Bishop introduced a series of celebrity columnists to F1 Racing, including Murray Walker, Damon Hill, Jenson Button.
In 2014 Bishop was a lead editor of the 1972 and 1974 Formula One World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi’s autobiographical work 'Emmo: a Racer's Soul'.[2] The book was published by Haymarket Media Group.
Bishop is known in Formula One circles as 'The Bish' and is recognised for his larger-than-life wardrobe that includes a seemingly limitless number of very garish shirts.[citation needed]
Bishop's journalism was published in F1 Racing and Autosport.com, for which he used to write a famously trenchant fortnightly column entitled 'From the Pulpit'.[3]
On 26 September 2007 it was announced that Bishop would leave Haymarket, publisher of F1 Racing and Autosport, to become Group Head of Communications and Public Relations for McLaren, effective January 2008.[3]
On 31 July 2017 it was announced that Bishop would leave McLaren.[4]
Bishop's father is the US-born concert pianist, Stephen Kovacevich. His mother is the late Bernardine Bishop, a noted British psychotherapist and novelist.[5] Bishop attended the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School in Holland Park, London.[6]
