He works closely with the current two McLaren drivers, 2005 and 2006 Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso, and 2015 GP2 Series Champion Stoffel Vandoorne, as well as 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button, who remains contracted to the McLaren team albeit now in an ambassadorial role.

Bishop also works closely with McLaren Technology Group Executive Director Zak Brown, as well as the team's Racing Director and Chief Operating Officer, Eric Boullier and Jonathan Neale. Bishop used to work closely with the 2008 Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, before Hamilton left McLaren to join Mercedes-Benz at the end of the 2012 Formula One season.

Previously, Bishop had been Editor in Chief of the Formula One magazine F1 Racing.

He took on the editorship of F1 Racing 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 introduced a series of celebrity columnists to F1 Racing, including Murray Walker, Damon Hill, Jenson Button and many more.

in 2014 Bishop co-authored with the 1972 and 1974 Formula One World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi the autobiographical work 'Emmo: a Racer's Soul', published by Haymarket Media Group.

Bishop is known in Formula One circles as 'The Bish' and is known for his larger-than-life wardrobe that includes a seemingly limitless number of very garish shirts.

Bishop's journalism was published in F1 Racing and Autosport.com, for which he used to write a famously trenchant fortnightly column entitled 'From the Pulpit'.

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

On 31 July 2017 it was announced that Bishop would leave McLaren.

Bishop's father is the US-born concert pianist, Stephen Kovacevich. His mother is the late Bernardine Bishop, a noted British psychotherapist and novelist. Bishop attended the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School in Holland Park, London.
