- Max Verstappen and Red Bull have decided to boycott Sky Sports F1 media duties after feeling "disrespected". Many have pointed to recent comments made by Ted Kravitz regarding Abu Dhabi 2021 and saying on a live broadcast that Lewis Hamilton was robbed of the championship. As someone who like the Sky Sports team, and Max Verstappen, here is my opinion on the matter.

As someone who studied journalism, there’s nothing more annoying than journalists who always sensationalize everything because drama gets them easy engagement
Michael Masi, is this you ?
fuckin same
@@mtsguides LHcult is that u?
@@mtsguides what does that even mean?
This is story of all news channel in India
He’s well within his rights to do this. It’s been incredibly frustrating as a British Max fan watching Sky tear down his every achievement out of pure spite for last year.
Michael Masi, is this you ?
@@mtsguides No he's just a normal, non butthurt, person.
Imagine you get incredible achievements in the sport beating someone who has been dominating the sport for 7 years with mercedes and it gets downplayed because you arent Hamilton and/or British. The stuff that has been said is just awful and outright disrespectful and its good that max just gives them the finger now.
Michael Masi, is this you ?
@@gandalf_thegrey nah, michael masi has created a bunch of burner accounts, he a rich man now. Cause the 2.2 mill that rb 'overspent' definitely didnt help verstappens car, but it did get credited to masi's offshore account 😋
i'm not a max fan, but i'll always respect how he carries himself and how he is unapologetically himself. doesn't care for boos, doesn't care for press, doesn't care for bullshit, he just wants to go out there and race. he's like any other human where they want don't want to be bothered and just do what they wanna do. people hold athletes in such high regard that they seem to forget that @ the end of the day, they're human just like us.
He is Teflon Max
Then you have to be a MAX fan.. You summed up all the qualities about a person to be a fan.
Very well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So you are a max fan lol?
My respects for your comment!
Max fan.
For me, the worst of it was at the Dutch Grand Prix. When Tsunoda broke down ted pretty much instantly started saying that it was suspicious and that Red Bull planned it. The whole next week Yuki and for some reason specifically Hannah Schmitz. I'm sure those rumors would have started anyway, but he made things much worse.
Ted is disgusting, and the British tabloid media are out in force today saying ‘gleeful fans celebrate not having to see Horner and RB on news now’…twisting the narrative and actually airing some of the most toxic Twitter comments saying that Kravitz is a ‘hero’ and needs ‘a raise’….tabloid, unprofessional, sensationalist British media at its finest.
They are proven cheaters and have Ill-gotten championships. Though it was before it came out they were cheating, the fact this guy was trying to crash into Hamilton in several races to win the championship spoke volumes about the driver and organization. No smoke without fire. Did they ever explain what happened to tsunodas car, that made sense?
@@TheCrownedLion You are insane, not even going to dignify you and your comment beyond that remark.
Was about to bring this up. Its one thing for randos on Twitter to suggest this but to bring it up ON THE OFFICIAL F1 GLOBAL BROADCAST was truly unprofessional and peak sensationalism
@@mamavswildlol but still here you are!!😂
To think that the media is not biased towards British drivers is just being ignorant.
There will always be some bias but I just don’t think they all hate max
@@MadeByPerspective if you actully lissten to what they say about him sometimes they clearly have a hate for max
i think we could even see it in Mexico, 14 Wins in a most of anyone, Well its not that impressive they have a lot more races
@@MadeByPerspective But it's not "some bias".
It's so incredible off-putting to see Sky do that. But this is not even an F1 problem, it's a Sky problem.
I get more neutral commentary when I watch a football match of my national team getting broadcasted on tax money channels. Like, no joke.
I'm a Williams fan and have no problems with either Lewis or Max, I honestly have better problems that hating professional athletes. It's just anger inducing "journalism".
. . And of course the DUTCH pundits are NOT biased towards Max‼️
Or MEXICAN Pundits are NOT biased towards Checco‼️ etc
Ppl need to pipe down & stop getting SO triggered about FOOLISHNESS‼️ 🥴
@@lucasz9184 While it is true that today are more races, they actively ignore that Vettel with 13 wins had 19 races. Max had 13 wins after 19 races as well.
So that argument isn't even true lol
You forgot to mention that Cravidz said that Adrian Newey was more responsible for max's championships than Max himself.
If you want to live in the past thats one thing, but to me the 'lewis was robbed' + 'Newey made Max champion' feels like a total disrespect, as if he wants to discard Max entirely. Like he doesnt see Max for what he is, an extremely talented driver who deserved to win these championships by his own merrit.
That too 😬
Yeh was where i was like thats not proffesional to say
They did the same thing with Vettel
Makes you really wonder if he thinks before he speaks on the broadcast. These are the sort of salty comments people threw at Jenson Button for his world championship but thankfully people do not remember that nonsense anymore.
Michael Masi, is this you ?
I can proudly say I was alive when both Michael Schumacher and Max Verstappen boycotted British media.
That's one of the steps in becoming the peoples champion
Long live The Michael
Up The Mighty Max, Het Phenomeen 💪🦁👊
Just ask yourselves this question: If somebody you know starts disrespecting you on a consistent basis especially publicly, wouldn't you feel angry about it?... You're lying if you say no, lets be real.
I mean Red Bull did cheat so they're scumbags
@Silaen Nase he’s most upset with Ted Kravitz, not Crofty. Ted has been the one saying out of pocket things.
Imagine Lewis boycotting Spanish, Italian and Dutch medias everytime they say bs on him.
Imagine Senna boycotting French medias.
Imagine Alonso boycotting German and British medias.
Max is a cry baby. Grow up !
@@flom1951 abuse is abuse. Every driver has right to do what they feel is right for them. You're defending abuse.
@@WH0oo... Stating facts is abuse ?
Max was gifted the championship by an error for the FIA, that's a fact.
Max drove a car that was not conformed to the rules, that's another fact.
Racism is abuse, stating lies is abuse, stating evidence and facts is journalism.
Max can keep crying because even here in France journalists are saying the same things as Ted. Deal with it.
The Sky bias isn't even just against Max. Its against every non-British driver or team that doesn't have a British driver. If you're an Alfa Romeo, Alpine or Alpha Tauri fan for example, there's a very small chance that you will get even an interview shown after the race. Alonso, Gasly and Tsunoda's interviews weren't shown yesterday despite their DNFs and penalties that brought much of the entertainment in very close constructor battles.
It's called "supporting your countrymen"
@@t.k3579 part of being a journalist is being unbiased, so you can deliver accurate information. Sky "supporting their countrymen" directly goes against the whole reason they're there.
@@theorangewarrior03 Well you can't simply satisfy everyone tho.
@@t.k3579 u think only the British watch formula one don’t you
@@t.k3579 you should never try to satisfy everybody, but you also shouldn't sign up to a job if you aren't gonna stick to the rules. I can't just go to work wearing Union Jack budgie smugglers and say "you can't please everyone, still doing my job just being patriotic" I'd get fired.
Ted has a right to have his opinion, same with the other pundits. But they should wait till they do a podcast or some shit, not a journalism segment. Ted's job is to tell us information and let us do what we will with it.
You know that Sky are going to talk about nothing but Abu Dhabi '21 at this year's event. Which is why I've taken things into my own hands and decided to actually go to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix rather than sit at home and watch it.
Fair play mate the Abu Dhabi GP is on my bucket list!
@@MadeByPerspective I'm gonna end up completely broke and jetlagged by the time I get home, but I won't regret being there for Seb, Dan and Goatifi's last race.
Respect goes up for you Sean
@@itattoo7487 It's actually turned out to be cheaper to go halfway round the world for three days than it was to go a couple of hundred miles up the M1 to the British Grand Prix for the same amount of time.
@@scsutton1 it's cheaper for international races than here
A lot of people forget how vile Sky was towards Max last season. They kept attacking him as some psycho driver and conflating “aggressive” with “reckless”.
Yes but max was a psycho last year, how do you think he got the name crashverstapen etc etc, this year max has been amazing really shows how good he is without the pressure of wanting his first championship, personally 2021 has no champion because it was a complete farce by the FIA, but this year max deserved it, redbull on the other hand do not deserve it, well done max for being a stella driver and holding your self better.
@@nickmanhota324 but no he wasn’t, the only part of him being a psycho was Italy and Saudi. And even then it could’ve been easily avoided by Lewis. Even then, Max has guaranteed done better with that pressure of being a hot shot going for the championship against Lewis than any other non champion on that grid.
@@nickmanhota324 he got the nickname from LH fan boys who think their version of god can do no wrong. While he shares some blame for incidents like Monza, he's no way 100% at fault. The nickname Crashstappen is a holdover from previous years, not just some new 2021 moniker. Don't forget, the media still blamed Max for silverstone. You can say all you want about 2021 having no champion, but history will still say Max. As far as the record books go, he's still the two time unless the FIA comes out and strips him of 2021 so all this denial and "holy-er than thou" approach merc fans are taken will be forgotten in a few years, just like everyone forgot about crashgate or ferraris 2019 cheating.
Did you watch Ziggo Sport last season? I suggest you look at 1 race weekend with Olav Mol from Ziggo Sport, you will fall off your chair.
@@nickmanhota324 he absolutely did not get his nickname crashstappen in 2021. It prior seasons. Besides Monza, he not even once crashed bc of reckless driving. Its insane to assume that he crashed so much last year. How did he get all those Championship points if he was crashing so much? You contradict yourself.
This also completely neglects the fact Max is the youngest F1 driver in history.
Max is well within his rights to boycott Sky. I like most of the Sky pundits, but the bias towards Hamilton from Crofty, Ted, Herbert and Hill (who was my favourite driver back in the day) and against Max from mainly Hill and Kravitz is unbearable. Every race Ted in the pitlane is dreaming of ways Mercedes can produce a strategy for Lewis to win or Crofty talking about how Lewis is going to work his way to victory producing ridiculous scenarios that a 7 year old would be embarrassed of.
Considering their coverage goes out to a number of countries you'd think they would try to be more impartial than the average UK based commentary team. Bill Burr the comedian even mentioned how obsessed F1’s coverage is with Hamilton and how everything revolves around him.
Kravitz pandering to conspiracy theories might be popular with a certain crowd and it increases viewership numbers, so it's probably worth it for Sky to keep him, but he should know better and I hope he’s sufficiently embarrassed enough for a more mature level of punditry going forward as the hate he is getting has been brought on by himself.
"Crofty talking about how Lewis is going to work his way to victory producing ridiculous scenarios that a 7 year old would be embarrassed of" well said mate exactly what was happening last race a complete embarrassment from Skysport to have such amateur commentary for such great event.
So do you expect Max to boycott French and Italian medias because they are biased to Leclerc ?
Everybody know how Max got his title in 2021. There are proofs and facts. You can't deny it.
Mate, they need to get rid of him. For Gods sake he hates Max. WTF kind of "impartial" sport reporting is that. I don't give a flying firetruck how supposedly good he supposedly is at his job!
Sorry but beating the top team is a narrative of F1. When Ferrari was teasing mercedes, all the buzz was around them. Also let's not forget who Lewis is, he is the face of F1.
I think it was also when he mentioned how dominant Max is this season... while crediting everything else other than hte driver. It's true that they do a great job in all aspects (aero, engine, strategy, pitstops etc) but avoiding giving credit to the driver is really noticeable and very petty
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
@@mtsguides What has my comment have to do with Masi?
@@mtsguides Under how many comments do you want to write this nonsense?
@@mtsguides toto's burner account is out in full force today 😂
How quickly people forget, this is exactly what happened to Hamilton. Hamilton had lots of people who hated him whilst crediting everything else. He had years where he was so dominant (and other cars couldn’t keep up) so everyone started crediting all the other aspects (aero, engine, strategy, pitstops etc…) saying all he had to do was turn up, jump in the car and he would win. It’s the exact same thing going on here with Verstappen. The difference being now with DTS and more fans there’s a lot more vitriolic and polarised commentary.
Sky literally broadcasted their Christmas holiday ad in which HAM took down VER at Silverstone!
When I first saw the ad, I thought it was a joke. I don't know how people can respect Sky for airing that crash as a Christmas ad
Bruh
@@pitaman11 what bruh???
They also posted the same thing with the 2021 Italian GP crash. Conveniently you ignore that. Continue pushing your false narrative with no evidence
@@agent6599 False narrative? No evidence? Are you this stupid everyday or just on mondays?
As a Max fan, I’m happy to be represented by him. He hates artificial drama and hates useless BS. He’s not Raikkonen,but the attitude towards silly “journalists” is the same and I love it.
He’s an amazing person who is made ‘evil’ by the media. To me, Max is brought up absolutely brilliantly in F1 (not by jos but by the RB team).
@@SW-8228 I don't know how amazing he is in private life, but as a public figure he's improved a lot without drowning his personality for the sake of "looking good for the fans". At this point, track performances is the only thing that really matter.
@@Jackomo01 Well that's just cause he grew up and that's very good.
Yes, not as determined as Kimi in ridiculing these idiots but just as solid as Fernando in making them appear as the idiots they are. Kravitz is a real moron, I always wondered how such a cretin could be retained for years. And I am not a Max fan......just someone who unlike Kravitz respects all super talented drivers
You think you are " represented" by Max ? Just goes to show it's impossible to overestimate the stupidity of the average modern F1 fan !
I’m a Lewis fan through and through and I have watched F1 long before the drive to survive tribe. I was at the last race of ‘21 he had an incredible race and deserved the win but Max had the better overall season same with this year you can’t take that away from Max
You are a onest hamilton fan
Respect for your honesty and straight answer.
Respect for you being an F1 fan before other people.
i have immense respect for you. i'm a max fan and i agree that lewis deserved that race, but max fought long and hard for the championship and absolutely earned it. it's racing and sometimes that's the way it turns out. thank you for your honesty and for proving that normal lewis fans exist!
Hats off to you.
The thing about max I like (out of the car) is his NO BS approach. He’s here to race the car not to make friends or stir drama.
He is just doing his job.
The thing is though. A lot of other drivers from other teams are incredibly friendly with him as well. Leclerc and Sainz for example.
The guy just seems like a straight forward, down to earth human being.
@@kukelhupf Because he is😉
It is also that the dutch people are direct and just say what is on there mind.
@@kukelhupf i think Lewis can get more American fans if he brings back his justice for Breonna Taylor campaign.
I have lost count how many times Ive said it but, Max has grown so much in the past year it is really incredible.
I agree
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
@@mtsguides Cry more. Masi gifted Lewis the opportunity to fight for the championship.
Getting a faster car isn't exactly what you want in "character development". He's just getting better at hiding his immaturity rather than actually growing up.
@@t.k3579 proof?
Max is literally an old school driver, couldn't agree more! He lights up when he's talking about racing and anything else, he couldn't be bothered. I think the media is actually what turned last season's rivalry toxic, tbh. I do know a few of the pundits from Sky are major Max fans, but maybe as a broadcasting unit, there is some bias towards British drivers.
Well it's lucky he's not driving at during the old school era because commentators like James Hunt were far more hurtful with their comments than anyone in this era
@@kityhawk2000 damn, those guys really had no filter and no care in the world. It was raw.😂
Imagine having the grid with 20 Max Verstappens. It would be a chaos.
This is not old school driving, this is bullying and expecting others to surrender to avoid a crash.
Nothing fair, nothing respectful. That's the signature of a dirty driver.
@@flom1951 It is old school driving, ever heard of Hunt, Senna, Shummy I could go on. Been watching for over 30 years, so yeah he is very old school in approach in driving
@@so8263 Nothing "old school" by pushing off track your opponent every single time you are challenged on track.
Schumacher ? A dirty driver.
Senna ? Except Japan 1990, when was he dirty ? When ???
Hunt ? I wasn't born.
Old school thing is "the feeling of danger". Back in the days we knew F1 drivers were taking massive risks because they were driving death rockets.
Nowadays we lost that feeling because the cars are much more safer. But here comes a young prat who put in danger his opponents.
What you love isn't racing, you love watching danger and drivers risking their and other's lives. In that sense, Max is the perfect choice for you.
This is why Kimi was and will always be a great sportsman for me. Of course, he's a great driver, but he knew how to disengage himself from the unnecessary hoopla and just focus on his job. It's a lesson a lot of us should learn from. And Max is like that too.
Yes I always love Kimi. He is just the best World champion. He knows how to avoid these stupid media especially Sky's British bias.
Just don't care about anyone. Do your job and get out of the paddock.
That's why he went on for so long until he got bored.
This year the whole of F1; the drivers, the media and the organization have been on a media campaign on driving out disrespect by fans on social media and during the grand prix weekends. Meanwhile, Sky Sports have been continuously fueling these 'fans' by making disrespectful comments to Red Bull and Max on a channel that is viewed worldwide. No wonder that Max does not want to answer anymore and I can't blame him for it.
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI The basis is always having a competitive car in order to be able to become WDC. Then, the drivers make the difference. Max's wins have never been 'driving away and easy 1-2's where the competition is only their teammate'. Even this year it was very close or challenging (Saudi, Canada, Hungary, Dutch, US). Ferrari makes the gap look bigger than it was. Lewis' wins were more dominantly won because of the car, but it still is Lewis that made it happen and not his teammates. Lewis and Max both are in a class of their own.
@@vcolin not to add that there are amazing racing each other. Sad that people are fanboying too hard to enjoy the show those two can put up
@@RhomasTotevenaar Yeah it is absolutely amazing seeing them battle because only Lewis can challenge Max and only Max can challenge Lewis. Makes whoever becomes WDC also more valuable and deserving.
I agree, Sky has been fueling the fire. And then clutching their pearls about how disrespectful the fans are. Max being called a cheater at COTA is an example of that. It works both ways btw, Max fans disrespecting Lewis is just as bad.
You are right when you say that not all members of Sky hate on Max, however, the front members of Sky F1, ie Ted, Crofty and sometimes Martin, do show their favoritism towards Lewis first, then the rest of the British drivers. That's part of the reason why it really seems like the entire company is biased. I don't think it's a big deal that that happens over a national broadcast, but Sky F1 is part of the international broadcast.
I agree with you on Ted, he can get annoying sometimes, and crofty on occasion has his moments, but Brundle I haven't noticed any favouritism towards certain drivers, and demoting competitors, plus everyone else in the Sky team seems neutral even if a lot are British. Also to a degree Paul Di Resta is the opposite of Ted, but more biased as he has a history with the Hamilton family, dislikes Lewis and has had similar takes that Ted has had that annoyed Lewis. Also weirdly has a bias against Vettel as well, not sure why there though.
The entire US GP Sky were talking about Hamilton being on track to win, it was pretty ridiculous. Hell, in Mexico towards the end they were talking about how Mercedes couldn't pit Russell for fresh rubber because he "had to keep pressure on Perez" despite being 7-8 seconds behind him
I'm usually fine with Martin can't stand Crofty but after yesterday's " We really could've done with a full safety car!" from Martin I was like nah get in the bin. Number 1 rule in any sport commentating you cant show your favourite
@@calussy8040 From what I can see Crofty gives Max credit when credit is due. He has a preference for Lewis, but he doesn't refrain from complimenting Max. Maybe I havn't been watching enough Sky, but Crofty seems fair most of the time.
Don't forget Demon Hill
The toxicity you are talking about IS because of media persons like Ted. The bias is too sharp and in the open to not be noticed. The other day he disrespected Checo by asking Max to "let him win" one race, to which Max maturely replied that Checo is good enough to win on his own. The way a small time media person can talk in so insolent and disrespectful a manner about an F1 driver is beyond me. Media personal have a bloated sense of self importance lately, forgetting that they're quite easily replaceable and not crucial. F1 drivers (especially someone like Max) make the sport happen! Actually knowledgeable F1 pundits such as Peter Windsor are always so respectful in their videos. It's good that Max is showing them their place. He doesn't need to talk to them, they need to talk to him. #fireted
Although I agree on most aspects of your comment, I don't think Ted should be fired. I normally enjoy his walks, and style of presenting. Hope he learns from this and tunes his personal preferences down a bit. And this is coming from a Max fan. To add: disrespecting Lewis is just as bad.
@@casualSimRacer3312 nah happy with that absolute bellend being fired, always simping for the British drivers...wonder if there's any petitions up I can sign to get him fired
@@robertaugustijn1157 the kind of post race analytics you're so fond of Peter Windsor does much better, and with an air of decency and respect.
@@robertaugustijn1157 Bro firing Crofty or Ted is not the solution agreed. But atleast they should be called out to put their bias aside especially on international coverage of the Sky broadcast that goes to Asia, Australia and so many other countries outside of UK and Ireland.
I have started to watch race weekends without any commentary on now.
@@Amory98 Windsor is great, but he has his preferences too. He seems to favour Carlos over Charles for example which seems weird. The only thing that Carlos has done better so far is being more firm with the team in terms of what kind of strategy he wants.
I think my main issue is the fact that Sky Sports is the main English speaking broadcast feed for most of the world. Especially here in the States where we have so many new fans, I've seen how vilified Max and RB constantly get made out to be by Sky Sports which only influences the thousands of new fans we have to be incredibly toxic on social media. The F1 TV feed is massively more balanced from a bias perspective IMO and I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to Buxton, Jolyon, Sam, etc. for all the races I've tuned into them instead of Sky. They do such a better job of just calling it like they see it without (seemingly) showing favoritism one way or another and is well worth the money I pay for the F1 TV subscription purely for that reason alone.
Exactly the reason I switched from Sky Sport to F1 TV and its way cheaper.
Same here, although the F1 TV crew have become a bit obsessed with 'the rules' lately. And often the contradict them selves form case to case, something the blame FAI to, Oh the irony : )
F1 tv is not super independant though
Theres a history of this
Brundle played down Vettels achievements back then as well
He said something like "that's the most important man in the team. And his hair isn't blonde"
And also James Allen.
Just compare Brazil 2007 and 2008. He sounded downcast and sad when Kimi won and Lewis lost out. The very next year he had the same tone when Massa initially crossed the line, but when the camera cuts to Lewis he was suddenly screaming into the mic like a 12Y kid playing cod.
Its a shame, cause he's one of the best F1 commentators, better than Crofty imo.
@@Gamezoner911 I agree
@@Gamezoner911 Wasn't he a Kimi fanboy? There were so many times he was impressed with Kimi when he was at Mclaren. Idk about the Ferrari days

@@mtsguides did u stop crying yet? Tell us about climate change from the back of your speed boat, while your tears are melting the ice caps.
While I agree with you where was the fairness and respect last year towards Lewis? Max cant benefit from a lack of it then cry when people don’t have an issue with what happened. Nearly all fans know what happened but in my opinion we need to move forward but that doesn’t mean pretending what happened didn’t happen, altho I agree Ted should probably just keep it of TV since there’s absolutely no chance it will ever be changed
Being a Ferrari fan during the past more than 50 years (yes, l am THAT old), the annoying and disrespectful british bias is a well known thing. Much respect for Max, and l have to say it… the more time goes, the more l like him both in and out the car, IMHO one of the greatest talents this sport has ever seen.
respect for all the time you've spent following the sport! i really hope that ferrari manages to sort out their issues and properly have a go at the title next year, i'm also a fan of charles and i was so looking forward to all their battles this year... :c
I think it’s hit a point where enough is enough. Last year, I remember Hill making a comment after the Monza crash where he was like “I’d like to believe Max didn’t do it on purpose, but…”
Ted and Crofty with the Zandvoort conspiracy theory that had Yuki bombarded with hate and also spiralled hate onto Hannah because she, shock horror, smiled.
Hell even the Mexico race we’ve just had, Crofty was /very/ quick to speculate that there was contact with George and the RB that pushed George wide and when it cut to the replay George had just gone over a kerb.
At the end of the day, they’re journalists. They know words. They know how to imply things without directly saying it. And they’ve done an incredible job of sly digs all year.
yeah it's not new, it's just Max that plays the victim as always - everything is a conspiracy against max now
While I don't think it is right to abuse someone for saying something like what happened with Ted Kravitz, there is a clear bias in Sky Sports F1. It's clear to see and his comment about Verstappen not being able to win a normal championship isn't really above board. I'm all for being entitled to your opinion but that is pouring gasoline over a raging inferno doing that.
I think that’s what bothers me the most. It’s not what he’s saying, it’s the reasons for saying it. Like you say, pouring gasoline on an inferno, when RB, the FIA and even Mercedes themselves have moved on from last years events. It’s not necessary
@@tyler_bt3326 exactly right mate. It's just silly
It's also stupid to say a man with 14 race wins in 20 races is "unable to win a normal championship" when he just utterly dominated - While his teammate is fighting a Ferrari driver.
it's just a repeat of when seb was dominating on their belowed british drivers and nobody would have any problem with their bias if it wouldn't be the international feed
I completely agree. British max fan here and it’s mental how toxic it’s been recently. God forbid I mention I’m a Brit and max fan on Twitter too.
Twitter is a cesspool and it's going to get even worse now that Elon Musk has bought it.
Wow I can understand how people might have even stereotyped you. Can understand bro. Fandom in every sport is damn polarising.
Be like Max. F*** em all!
Het Phenomeen 💪🦁👊
British-based Max fan here also! People online are so quick to assume I'm one-sided and impartial towards Hamilton but really I just like watching racing for what it is :)
I think the biggest issue here is F1 doing this huge campaign to “drive out hate” then almost every weekend throw shade and talk about Abu Dhabi or more recently the cost cap drama. The funny thing about cost cap, since we live in the past, is if certain events didn’t happen at silverstone, RB would be under the budget
A team has to take into account all possibilities when it comes to budgeting the season. I don't want to hear Red Bull excuses. They knew they overspent and are now getting pissy because they got called out on it. If it were my decision, the penalties would be much more severe. All teams would be penalized the same for overspending. Severe penalties could and most likely, would prevent any other teams from overspending. Scare em to stop em.
@@athenawiltfong5717 shut up Lulu fanboi
I just loves how he stands up for himself. everyone expects the drivers to take anything because they are the faces of their teams: they have to take interviews, press conferences etc. But Max reminds everyone that drivers are humans and at a certain point enough is enough.

@@mtsguides cry a river you spamming idiot
Yeah that was a very strange insinuation. F1 is evolving, and the media infrastructure surrounding it has to evolve as well.
History repeats itself, British media did the same thing to Seb at RB.. good for Max, u can't respect those that disrespect you because of their bias...
Let's not forget that Ted Kravitz was hoping live on air for Max to crash into the wall of champions during Canadian GP when Sainz was chasing him. He is a vile human being.
Yes he is and this fool here among many others just don't see that and make excuses that ted is just ted (no capital letter for ted because I do not respect him). #fireted
Ted's always been a bit like this. I remember he was like that during the Hamilton/Rosberg era. I have an interview he had with Lauda stuck in my head after Austria 2015 where he asks Lauda about Rosbergs race. Lauda praises Rosberg saying how well he raced to which Ted said "well he only won because of Hamiltons bad start", then Lauda had to put him in his place a bit where he told him that's not rhe reason he won and even without the poor start Rosberg was still favourite. Ted then kind of flubbed him off and then asked any car related issues as to why Hamiltons start was so bad.
So the "bias" has been there on sky. Which tbh is expcted they are British so going to support their drivers. A bit surprised Red Bull and fans are shocked by this. And tbf to Sky they have now gotten a few more differing opinions on there now, especially with Karun and PDR, so it has gotten a bit better.
Facts
It's ok to have bias, but when even the drivers are saying the same thing, what do you think of it?
bias is normal. but bias to the point of utter disrespect and dismissive behaviour towards someone's achievements? no, that is not normal.
It’s not just Austin it’s the whole season and last season where some of sky sports team kept targeting max and Red Bull.
Last season after Brazil Ted Kravitz literally started an argument with Max on the media pen interview. Max kept trying to remain professional while Ted was incredibly confrontational... This was before AD 21 as well.
Edit: CZcams has some policy against third part links so I can't link the video but if anyone wants they can search it "Ted Kravitz tries to fish response out of Max". It'll be the first result popping up.
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
@@mtsguides get a life mate. You've been spamming this same thing on almost all the comments on this video.
@@ijustfelldown Yup, noticed that as well. Reported about half a dozen of them, ignoring the rest… 😉
@@ijustfelldown Just watched that, yeah that's pretty unprofessional from Ted, very antagonistic.
Makes me miss the American broadcast, even if Leigh Diffy was all Lewis all the time, at least Hobbs and Matchett balanced it out. The thing with Sky is that everything is about the British drivers but particularly everything is about Lewis. They either trash or ignore Ferrari, and can even make another driver's crash about Lewis somehow. There's being disappointed that your guy didn't win, but it's time to give Max is his due and drop the whole 2021 thing. I can't blame him for not wanting to talk to Britsh media, and good on him for setting the boundary.
Sam, I agree with you that there are people within Sky who appreciate Max for what he is. (Brundle & Jenson for eg) But during the broadcast especially on the world feed, apart from having Martin Brundle, most of the air time goes to Crofty and Ted.
In Max's presser he clearly said that social media is already a toxic place and these kinda comments from the broadcasters will only help increase the toxicity. Remember how people started bringing up conspiracy theories after Yuki's DNF in Zandvoort which was actually started by Ted and Crofty on live TV.
This week's boycott was not just about that particular comment Ted made during the USGP weekend but I believe this is a culmination of a lot of events over the season.
F1 should use a different commentary team for the world feed rather than using Sky's coverage. I am sure Alex Jacques and co can do that job really well.
I dont know what this flogger was saying there that the SKY crew aren't biased. I agree 💯 with your assessment and appreciate to some extent Brundle and Di Rosta who are constantly correcting the bull twang. I've been watching F1 since the 70's and just in the last 2 yrs have grown to hate SKY. I can not stand them anymore and am praying that we get n alternative in the future.
Fair enough too sky is the main international broadcaster for f1 they have to be a remain neutral and fair you don’t have to like max but he has a point
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
@@mtsguides cry you salty max hater
@@mtsguides Max really does live rent in Lewis fans heads and I’m not a red bull or max fan
Props to Max for calling them out. He tolerated it long enough, but eventually there comes a time where it becomes clear you need to stand up for yourself.
Tbh too, it’s not a new concept. I’ve seen it in other sports, athletes are in control of if they speak to you, and if you never give them a fair shake, they can cut you off from your access, which is your entire livelihood.
Any good sports journalist is aware of this. And if you’re not, you’re not good at your job.
That’s probably like day two of journalism school. Report the story, but don’t throw your personal preferences into the mix, and then ask that athlete/team to help you put food on your table.
Remember to headbut joke? It was clearly a joke, yet sky made it all serious back then. It’s just pathetic.
It actually went beyond British media bias. We in Southeast Asia use to get our F1 from Fox Sports Asia before Disney closed them in the middle of 2021 season. which is Malaysian who does broadcast Sky F1 but do the pre and post race show on their own and they have a clear favouritism for Mercedes especially Hamilton (Petronas is from Malaysia). They always said that Hamilton 2007 title was taken away and they always discredited Kimi Raikkonen achievement that year. And I think one of the Pundit Alex Yoong yes that Alex Yoong one of the worst F1 driver ever has a particular personal problem with Kimi everytime he made mistake Alex always torture him. Had they continued to broadcast F1 to this day they definitely will hate Verstappen.
People care more about a pundit speaking the truth than max getting given a championship and expected people to accept it gracefully 😂😂
@@Goated2002 so with your diving abilitiy, if you were in Max’s car, do you feel you would have been gifted a championship in 2021?
A massive components of sports, or any other endeavor, is putting your self in the position to capitalize on a situation.
An unbiased fan can appreciate that both max and Lewis were deserving champions that year.
Just because the puck didn’t bounce Lewis’s way, doesn’t mean max wasn’t a deserving champion that year.
max loves to play the victim
I honestly think the worse one Zandvoort. It was obvious what was happening regarding Tsunoda's belt etc. But then they started the conspiracy theory about AT helping RB. Which then the Twitter bandwagon jumped on
As another Australian, the problem for me with the Sky broadcast is, that is the only broadcast and is the only broadcast for many other countries that have english broadcasting. I would love to have the Channel 4 broadcast, Alex Jacques does an amazing job in F2 and the clips of him doing F1 i have seen are just as good, and how as an Australian could I not want Mark Webber as a commentator? Sky does the job, but I wish there was an option rather than being forced into only watching the one service
I think this forms part of the reason why Crofty and the gang feel they can say whatever. They are not held accountable by a free market. They just seem to forget they are the face of F1 broadcasting by default. If they had competition available, they would be forced to play fair across the board, not by their management, but by the punters voting with their feet and wallets. This is usually accepted as a positive thing, exclusive broadcast rights have never been a positive thing in any sport I've come across, and normally not for this reason either, this is actually quite unique, the Sky team appear to have grown far to comfortable at their post.
Skysports are literally most biased people towards Lewis, yh sure they recognize how good Max is but then again if you've been watching their coverage you can't tell me Crofty and Damon haven't been biased and some others to some extent. But I do love Martin Brundle's takes on stuff and his racing knowledge.
Every regional coverage is biased. But the problem with skysports is that they are a global coverage for formula 1.
@@scuckplexity exactly they are global and they should be more responsible to not be biased as they cater to a larger international audience than just UK and Ireland.
As Montoya said it: You gotta either be blind or stupid if you feel like a lot of the people on the Sky H1 are very much Max Verstappen fans.
The bias is definitely real, especially when you listen to people like Hill, Brundle and Kravitz. And it's been the same back in the day against Michael Schumacher. For years, he had refused to give interviews to Brundle, so that's your best parallel there.
It's not a particularly difficult nuance to say the circumstances of Abu Dhabi were not ideal but there's no taking away from Max's title. Ultimately I feel whoever got the title last year deserved it, it was a great battle all through the season. I don't get the toxicity at all. I'm also glad the Max has matured a great deal this season and is looking every bit the multiple champion, and I'm also glad that Lewis has got his mojo back and is driving competitively again, I hope Leclerc and Ferrari learn from this year and fight smarter next year, I want Lando and Ocon and Gasly to continue to improve
I totally get why people are mad that LH didn't win his 8th Championship but they should be pissed at Masi and the FIA why do they hate Max ???. There where 18 other drivers on that day that would have done exactly the same Max did if they had the opportunity to win the WDC, yet they call Max stupid names and attack his family and GF as if he is the only driver that ever won a WDC under shady circumstances.
@@samwlloyd Completely agree, the issues last year were with race control and stewarding throughout the season. I took issue with *some of Max's driving last season, but I remember young Lewis was more than prone to some questionable and very aggressive moves (and I can remember steards inexplicably letting him away with some of them that I thought were over the line), Alonso and Schumacher and Senna and Mansell and Piquet, there's hardly a champion driver who hasn't played the game very ruthlessly.
Excellent take!
I mean sky sports never said a damn thing when verstappen was harassed in Italy and many other venues while when Hamilton was even booed they were quick to silence the crowd definitely some bias there
There was physical, racial & sexual harassment gleefully filmed by Max Fans!
To be fair, Max has been outspoken & disgusted by some his FANATICAL Supporters‼️

Piquet, harassment etc all coming out first on sky news.

I’ve been to multiple races (Hungary, Austria, Zandvoort) and haven’t seen anything, know multiple people that went as well… and literally no one noticed anything bad happening.
Of course you can’t see or hear everything what happens at a venue.
But most stories are blown up by media looking for something negative.
At none of these events an actual police report was filled!
When you are a journalist that have a really great position you shouldn't be acting like that. You can clearly hear it in his voice in his comments. I'm not saying journalists' can't have favourites. When you can see how toxic F1 twitter is you don't need someone from a big media brand to add to that and increase the toxicity.
As an American that's grown up on NASCAR and just got into F1 in the last few years, I have a lot of respect for Max and way he carries himself. He reminds me a lot of Kyle Busch. Busch's famous "bow" celebration was a direct response to critics and haters. The bow was meant to essentially thank the haters for motivating KB. All Busch wants is to drive and compete at the top level of American racing. Max is very much the same to me. I feel like all stuff like this does is motivate him even further.
Of course, No wonder Max has been on a rampage after Abu Dhabi after all the hate he’s been driven by
I think it’s greater than Max, imagine down the line (could be months or years) Ted or any other person at Sky make shots at another driver like that weekly or monthly and that driver is not as mentally strong as Max or secretly suffers from depression. What happens then? That person would go into a downward spiral. At times what people say can hurt a person, we all don’t know these drivers well, for all we know they can all be putting on a strong front. People again would want to compare Skysports to Viaplay and say they are biased towards Max so why shouldn’t sky? Forgetting Viaplay’s main audience are the Dutch and Sky’s main audience is everyone as much as it’s a British media house it’s official representer of F1 and that’s why they need to be neutral.
Actually a driver suffering from comments made by toxic sky f1 would be great. And then I mean not for the driver in question ofcourse, but for the consequences for the sky f1 team.
they tend to forget their position as the official international broadcast. 68 countries have their broadcast directly from sky, spanning from africa to asia and oceania. they need to re-evaluate their workings imo.
Romain grosjean, midfield driver, would not handle more shit from media, he was depressed and stressed
Nicholas latifi, semi broken man and can't handle pressure
Mick schumacher, would not score any points if the media was after him
a lot of the racers would not handle the pressure, i would say with this shitstorm its only Max and Lewis who can take all this shit and still drive and preform
It might be in the ‘British language’….but MY American ass is STUCK listening to their BS, sensationalist drivel. Petty, petulant and always keeping the Twitter toxicity alive by fanning the flames.
Asking Liberty to please make a non-British English language international broadcast!!
@@nolaw4365 They don't like the heat they should leave the kitchen to someone who can
Last year I was very involved with F1 social media and I dont know man it scares me. Some of the stuff said like i dont even know how people think some of its okay, it added stress that i didnt need so this year my social media involvement with formula one is little to none aside from a few youtube videos and anything regarding Lando. Its a much better way to live life. I reccomend it.
Jup, I needed a F1 detox after the season as well, because the hatred was so unbelievably big.
I mostly stick to just McLaren and Lando stuff but that's not great either, so much whinging about Lando being the Golden Child and McLaren constantly hampering Danny to make him look good, which makes no sense whatsoever...
I did this exact thing with AFL as an Australian years ago, and it's become a must with F1 as I've reignited my passion for it recently. Block out the noise, enjoy the sport itself, then switch it off after it's done and get back to life until the next one. Much better way to live.
@@RogueAI1679 Indeed.
The F1 post race show streamed live on youtube. I think their presenters sre really really good, they have a nice diversity in their crew, and have differing opinions in a respectful manner.
I prefer F1TV over sky any day! Love their jokes, professionalism and guests. Buxton does a great job. Maybe sky could learn a bit.

I feel like sky is always pushing the rumour mill in F1 and they definitely have some blame as to why the f1 community as became so toxic as of late. I feel at this point it’s gone to far especially since they also supply the international feed. I think f1 should just allow everyone the option to get F1TV since not only is it better for watching the races but you also get better commentators like Sam collins who gives a lot more of a technical insight to the sport that you don’t really get with sky. They also don’t have commentators that create conspiracies that lead to hate mobs being formed and directed at others (Yuki at Zandvoort is a prime example). Also with the Gasly thing in Japan we saw that replay probably 80x before it was even showen to you guys who watch sky and none of the commentators were sat there defending the fia and attacking Gasly.

Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
The most dangerous part of this all is the media them self, not the social media because they just reacting on the media in the first place, they should not issue personal opinion in anyway at all, that’s just a very bad thing and is the most unprofessional thing there is in journalism!
Max is just the typical Dutch guy. If he has something on his mind that bothers him, he says it. A lot of transparency in my opinion.
Het Phenomeen 💪🦁👊
As a Dutchie, I personally enjoy Sky throughout most weekends but sometimes they seem to shift focus on Verstappen and then it all turns sour. Obviously we all have a bias to certain drivers and usually it's one of your countrymen that you support. However, Sky is kind of the international face of F1 and in that aspect, it just feels unproffesional to make these remarks about a driver that has proven himself these last two years especially (controversial or not).
Question: how do you think Max and RB would go back to talking to Sky? Do Sky needs to apologize first or what?
Yeah they should get on their knees and ask for forgiveness. Or just admit that they're not real journalists.
Probably. Once RB realize that no one except their fans are gonna fall for their crap they’ll likely go back to normal
No, no need for apologies. They just need serious journalists that know their job.
The boycott was only for the Mex weekend. RB said so.
@@AyaxRo I think there was a rumor it was gonna be indefinite, but yeah apparently they'll be back talking to Sky in Brazil.
I think people keep the focus on the wrong part. The conversation shouldn't be about Sky F1 being biased or not. The most important part was the final thing Verstappen said (which is often let out in many posts). F1 social media is super toxic and polarised atm. And the way Ted is doing things right now is only fueling that toxicity which isn't what anyways wants. That doesn't mean Ted isn't allowed to voice his opinion, since everyone is allowed to do so. However, you can be of the opinion that Hamilton was robbed in Abu Dhabi while still being respectful towards Verstappen. You can feel about the decisions Masi made over the 2021 season any way you want (because there objectively were a lot of questionable decisions towards both drivers). But regardless of that, constantly referring to Verstappen as "that guy", saying he can not win a championship in a normal way, saying he didn't deserve the 2021 championship, saying he only wins because of Newey (like Sky F1 did with Vettel as well) has nothing to do with Abu Dhabi at all, is disrespectful towards Verstappen and doesn't do anything but cultivating toxicity among fans.
I remember very clearly the way the likes of Brundle and Kravitz talked about Vettel when he was winning his 4 world titles back in 2012-2013. The same level of disrespect. These guys are 100% team GB (not necessarily team LH), just not openly
I mean they deserve it, they keep doing the same thing over and over again with their bias, also like the Christmas ad where Lewis took max out and then saying: Merry Christmas.
if I look past the damn bias and often disrespect towards Max, they are good yes.
If I had a dollar for every time Crofty mentioned the wrong driver during a race, I'd have enough money to pay off Red bull's fine 😂 'Here comes George Russell in his Ferrari' xD
There is a limit to discrediting someone’s efforts and actual talent again and again. This is badgering and subtle bullying just because the person is piggy backing on a large media channel. Max deserves to bring light to this and he rightly did so to lead by example that such kind of one man attacking bickering is not okay!
the way they treated seb in the past is also awful. saying it was just the car and not him when he won 4 championships.
We are all tired of this .... Supporting Max fully!!
100%
I think brundle, Jenson and chandhok are what save sky for me tbh
agree! brundle puts crofty in his place sometimes and i live for it. jenson is just an icon, and i love when sometimes they bring nico on, that's just memes. but otherwise, sky just makes my head hurt. i'm gonna get f1tv pro next year just to escape from their bs
Karun is totally mediocre. Bs towards verstappen
The worst thing about what Ted said is more the affect it has on new fans and their opinions. The last 2 years there are gonna be a lot of new fans every race weekend and they're gonna look and listen to the professionals to know what to think. There's enough toxicity on social media and now between fans at the track and it's disappointing that main broadcasting channel is pretty much encouraging that as well.
Any way possible we can stream f1 tv official stream in countries they don't provide f1tv live ??
I don’t follow British media closely enough to say there’s a huge amount of bias. However, it is starting to seem like any time someone from Sky talks about Max, it’s “Remember Abu Dhabi”
RIGHT EXACTLY. why are they so hung up on that??? and then they turn around and get mad whenever someone brings up silverstone. pick a struggle, honestly
This idea that someone doesn't agree with absolutely everything you believe and therefore deserves to be ostracised is so stupid, social media has really messed up how people interact with each other
There's a difference between having difference of opinion and being super disrespectful. It is right to ignore someone that constantly disrespects you or your favorite driver
@@AllKings don't think I'm having a go at max I agree with what he's done, I'm talking about people on social media who find out they disagree on one thing with someone and then start sending them death threats
Max is not responsible for his fans, and has no way to control them even if he wanted too. And sky sports definitely shits on non-British drivers all the time. I think max is more concerned with real life than make up twitter drama that goes away after a few weeks, as he should be
Very good video, but when you say that there are fans amongst the sky cast,
Which ones?
Sky crossed a line for me, when they were spreading the conspiracy theory in zandvoort.
yes, they crossed a line and opened the floodgates to hate for both yuki and hannah schmitz (just for doing her job)
another thing was monza when they erased all the hate that max received that weekend, just by saying "ah, they're always so passionate, huh?" it was ridiculous because they were criticising the fans in zandvoort for WAAAY less.
@@rysmatias while in fact Zandvoort was brilliant, also atmosphere wise. 1 smoke pot on track thrown by someone who basically burned his hand on it.
The other pot was thrown in it because a security guard wanted to throw it in the grass in front of the stand… but messed it up and threw it on track (video proof on CZcams)
British media as a whole is in a worrying position - as of last week we've had our 6th or 7th senior news anchor/journalist in a few years being suspended for heavily biased columns on-air comments on publicly-funded "impartial" networks - all whilst snearing at any implication of impartiality
I'll never forgive Martin Brundle for his comments on Vettel during the '10-'13 era, particularly in 2013 tho. Wish Vettel had the balls, back then to do what Max is doing now, this boycott was long overdue and would have spared us from that horrible britisch bias during the Rosberg days '14-'16 and Vettel/Ferrari days '17-'18.
How quickly people forget, this is exactly what happened to Hamilton. Hamilton had lots of people who hated him for being so dominant. This is what happens when there’s no close fight on track. Journalists need something to get eyeballs and clicks. It’s one of the reasons why they constantly try to put Verstappen and Hamilton at odds.
But for those who’ve been watching for a while - when Hamilton had years where he was so dominant (and other cars couldn’t keep up) everyone started crediting all the other aspects (aero, engine, strategy, pitstops etc…) saying all he had to do was turn up, jump in the car and he would win. A corner of F1 fans and journalists would hate him for it - because it became predictable and boring. It’s the exact same thing going on here with Verstappen. The difference being now with DTS and more fans there’s a lot more vitriolic and polarised commentary.
Lol you’re right, how many times did we hear it’s just the car with Lewis and Seb and Michael
Unfortunately it’s Max turn next people just want Max to be received differently to the others who went before him

I think it's a big issue today that journalist and celebrities don't realize the influence of what they say especially with the current extremely toxic state of social media. By choosing to not move you're feeding the toxic haters to hate on Max as well as feeding your own haters to hate on you more. Max's approach here is what they all should have which is to just move on and not interact or stoke the fire in order to hopefully have a less toxic fanbase in the future.
'Does Sky F1 have a bias to Lewis Hamilton?' 🤣 Man, that's funny.
The better you get and the more you achieve and the more successful you are and you show that you are significantly better than most if not all, people are going to hate, people are going to disrespect you, people are going to try to bring you down. Max is showing potential to break all of Hamilton's records just like he broke Michaels and fans of Hamilton just cannot handle that fact. They will try to find any excuse to discredit Max and throw shade on his success. He's not going to listen to that and he is not going to entertain it. He is there for one thing and one thing only, to drive that car and win!!!

Very disappointed in Sky Sports F1. They play this inclusion and diversity card to the hilt (mainly because Lewis is touting it), yet they disrespect one of the best drivers in the world today. Let's face it, Ted never knows when to shut up. He talks and rambles on, and to be honest, it's sometimes entertaining. However, if I was running Sky F1, I would have flown him home from Mexico and had a chat with him to see if he wants to keep his job. He's easily replaceable. Put Naomi Schiff or Danika Patrick in his role and they would do a superior job because they know racing, would keep the comments about racing, and look good at the same time. Personally, Ted and Sky F1 owe Max and Red Bull a huge apology for disrespecting Max, Adrian and the whole team. But of course, this will never happen because it seems Mercedes, and Lewis Hamilton, own shares in Sky Sports F1. British drivers will always receive preferential treatment, I get that, but Ted's comments, although veiled as a movie script, were not only unnecessary, but plainly bigoted, partisan, sectarian and racist. Certainly not words of inclusion and diversity. Sky F1 - you should be ashamed to have this man in your employ!
That's logic. British media support British drivers as all others countries. Remember brazilian media talking shit about prost, ?

Well this video went off the deep end. Normalizing and rationalizing Ted's actions and trying to pin this on lynch mobs in social media is completely off the mark.
This is a Ted problem instigated by a continuous need to take cheap shots at RB /Max for almost a year now. At some point it was enough.
Your video fails to mention the near constant reminder and mentioning of Abu Dhabi by Ted in his segment week in week out.. Its not just this last event. This last event was the last straw.
I can see why Max would be angry about the comments about him stealing the championship from Lewis at Abu Dhabi. Max did nothing wrong, he played to the same rules on track as everyone else, and passed Lewis on track to win. All calls of unfair play should be directed at the Race Control and the Team Principals.
Last year was a case of one team gambled on the race finishing behind the safety car, one team gambled on their being some racing left to go. The side that lost would always have been bitter given how hotly contested the entire season was.
very good decision from max and RB. why the fuck would anyone talk to you if you constantly disrespect them and not give them their due credit week in week out. Ted ravitz needs to be fired. It's a terrible look for sky that the champ drivers and team don't want anything to do with them. Either kravitz writes an apology or fucks off from SKY
He should be fired for those comments? He didn't even mention Max and Red Bull, he just said that Lewis was robbed in Abu Dhabi which is a pretty widely held belief.
In the exact same notebook he went on to say that Mercedes had built a "Rubbish car" this year. Should he be fired for that too?
I'm more of a RB/Max fan than a Merc/Lewis fan and I think this whole thing is ridiculous.
@@danw9403 I don't think most people commenting have even watched the video.
@@danw9403 It's not ridiculous to boycott Sky Media. In fact everyone should do it.
He doesn't need to be fired for his comments, I'm totally against that. But as his producer I would fire him because he literally made it impossible to talk to the reigning world champion.
Sky still hadn't realized that neither F1 nor Football need Sky, but they need the sport. Doing that is just bad for business. He's losing them money, simple as that.
Hello Michael Masi, how many burner accounts do you have ?
All these OFFENCE ARCHEOLOGISTS‼️
There was nothing that Ted Kravitz said, that he needs to be sacked for . . . and I don't even agree with him a lot of time‼️
This CANCEL-CULTURE is getting out of hand‼️😶
