      • “As I've known Anthony Rowlinson for more than 20 years, I count him as both a friend and as a valued colleague. He is an astonishingly talented writer - concise, erudite and creative; his turn of phrase makes him a natural for public speaking and TV; he is a detailed manager who cares about people; and he is of course a motor racing expert. His versatility, I think, was perfectly displayed by his editorship of the ground-breaking Red Bulletin (for Red Bull) and by the innovate ways he has embraced the new digital era of journalism. He has a feel for the big story - for the front cover; but he also remembers the thankyous in the tiny print. He is an outstanding Editor. In terms of commitment and willpower, look no further than the way he runs his family life and the energy he devotes to his second love - cycling.”

      • “Anthony is a gifted writer and a talented editor. Strategic, creative and a genuine team builder, he was my first choice on a series of key publishing projects during my time at the FIA and FIA Institute. Anthony is as capable at shaping on brand, compelling content for corporate clients as he is with the demands of breaking news stories. Focused, committed to editorial rigour, he’s as widely respected for his integrity and discretion as he is for his journalistic skills. The real deal.”

      • “Anthony did a superb job as group editor and editorial director of Autosport, F1 Racing and Motorsport News. He is an excellent leader, a wonderful editor and writer, and has a great strategic mind. He and I had to make some very hard decisions as we re-shaped a motorsport media business post-2013 from a print to a digital focussed business - he never shied away from them. In the year before the acquisition of what was then Haymarket's motor racing group by Motorsport Network we managed to reduce turnover decline from 15% year on year to just 3% and our profits were up 8% year on year. Anthony was very much a part of delivering this result.”
