Jake Humphrey has teased a return to one of his former jobs after leaving BT Sport at the end of last season.

After 10 years with the company, Humphrey announced earlier this year that he would be stepping back from his role as a lead television presenter to focus on other projects, including his High Performance Podcast.

The 44-year-old's last game at the helm was the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan, with BT showing an on-air tribute to the presenter. After his exit, the channel was rebranded to TNT Sports.

Announcing his departure in a statement on Twitter, Humphrey wrote: "As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup games and European finals has meant the world to me. It has been my dream job.

"I've loved being a very small part of a world class production team."

He added: "I'm also not ashamed to say I remain hugely ambitious. Stepping back from BT will allow me space to pursue other projects and fulfil other ambitions."

Now, Humphrey has teased a future return to one of the roles he held prior to joining BT.

He worked as the lead F1 presenter for BBC, having been given the role by the broadcaster when it won the rights to show the sport from 2009.

He presented the action for a total of four years consecutively before BBC lost the full F1 rights to Sky, and he joined BT.

On Twitter, journalist Antonio Ramos posted a photo of Humphrey at the 2011 Motorsport Hall of Fame awards, alongside legendary F1 commentator Murray Walker, and Williams founder and long-serving team principal Sir Frank Williams.


In response to the photo, Humphrey replied: "What a joy that job was.. Still feels like unfinished business."

When urged by another responder to come back to F1 coverage, he said: "I'm coming round to the idea."

Sky still possess the rights to show each F1 race live and interrupted. Simon Lazenby has presented coverage since 2012, although no longer presents every Grand Prix in the ever-increasing schedule. Humphrey's former BBC radio colleague David Croft is the lead commentator alongside Martin Brundle, who Humphrey also worked with at BBC.

Highlights of each qualifying session and race are shown by Channel 4, with action presented by Steve Jones.
