Who was credited first for F1's 2026 BAFTA Sound win?

Gareth John was credited first for F1’s BAFTA Sound win. The 2026 winner was listed with John followed by Al Nelson, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle and Gary A. Rizzo.

The award recognized F1’s achievement in creating an immersive sonic world around high-speed racing. The film’s sound team had to balance engine noise, tire grip, radio communication, music and dialogue while preserving clarity during demanding action sequences.

A common mix-up is to treat every credited winner as an alternative answer. This question asks who was credited first, so the ordering matters: Gareth John is the canonical response, while the other names are fellow winners rather than replacements. The award was presented at the 79th British Academy Film Awards in February 2026.
