Broadcast journalist and F1 Drive to Survive star Jennie Gow has opened up on her recovery from a stroke. <\/p>\n
\nHaving worked for the BBC for over a decade now, Gow is a much-loved member of the F1 paddock, and reports from the pit lane for BBC Radio 5 Live. <\/p>\n
\nShe also appears in Drive to Survive<\/a>, and was a big part of season three particularly, the season which covered the COVID-hit F1 year.
<\/p>\n Article continues under video<\/p>\n \nIn December 2022, however, Gow experienced a serious stroke which was caused by a blood clot resulting from a torn carotid artery, and the British journalist had to stop working for a while.
<\/p>\n \nRemarkably, Gow returned to the paddock as early as July 2023, and has now opened up on her recovery from the stroke.
<\/p>\n \n“I’ve had to relearn how to write,” Gow told the Paddock Journal<\/a>. “Reading is still a challenge. Fatigue is something I still battle with significantly. Finding the right word at the right time is an ongoing thing.
<\/p>\n \n“But it has taught me a great deal about how humans respond to adversity. And I think it has made me a better journalist.”
