Matt Bishop was the Editor in Chief of the Formula One magazine F1 Racing.^[1]

He took on the editorship in December 1996 and left it in December 2007, by which time 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 is known in Formula One circles as 'The Bish'.^{[citation needed]}

Despite outward appearances of showmanship, Bishop has become a respected writer, whose trenchant views were published in F1 Racing and Autosport.com [1], for which he wrote a regular column called 'From the Pulpit'.^[2]

On 26 September 2007 it was announced that Bishop would leave Haymarket, publisher of F1 Racing and Autosport, to become Head of Communications and Public Relations for the McLaren Group, effective January 2008.^[2]
