Funny to hear Verstappen and the entire RBR team were not talking to Sky TV in Mexico, boycotting interviews etc...
Apparently Ted Kravitz (pitlane guy for Sky) wrote something recently about Max stealing the WC last year from Lewis... Verstappen and RB had enough and are boycotting them, which impacts all Sky countries (UK, italy, etc) Created more whining from the british press... Kinda funny as I 'm neither a fan of RBR, nor of Sky, and starting to tire of the british press/commentary... Like watching people I do not like punch one another.
I have to say, I've been following F1 for 35+yrs and coverage/press is a British majority.. Over the years I've read a lot of british and other european F1 mags, watched Euro/brit/US coverage, and I gotta agree with Max.. I find the british press singularly biased and not shy to talk **** about any non british drivers while Saint Lewis never does any wrong. I think it's probably why uncounsciously I am not a Hamilton fan. By and large the brit press gave a lot of $hit the non-brit competition, be it Patrese/prost during the Mansell era, or anyone since Lewis came along...
Schumacher was the evil german, Alonso the machiavellian Spaniard, Vettel wasn't much loved until he stopped winning at redbull, Rosberg was often ridiculed and "not worthy" even after he beat Lewis..
Alonso recently said something about Verstappen titles being impressive because he beat other teams in good cars (slight dig at Hamilton's titles in a mercedes where he only had to beat a teammate - bottas or Rosberg). It's not untrue.. That created another furor... Kinda fun...
