I’m in English and can definitely say from my view. Our media is biased. Whenever there is a title challenge involving a British driver our media such as sky will always back the British driver The problem with every media outlet is that they are always gunning for a story.
You are aware F1, Sky F1, most of the teams and a substantial amount of the drivers in the past and present are British. If you think British bias won't exist you're outright delusional.
I can tell you as a Dutch guy it is about the same (little less I think but I am biased) over here but our media has a smaller reach ofc because of language. And more reach gives more responsibility for not making a villain out of a driver.
@@guneytopal7076 sure the spanish and dutch media are bias towards there drivers i mean that pretty normal but they are not promoted by F1TV which is promoted as the international broadcast not just UK so when you have one of your commentator making conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality that Hannah Schmitz has given orders to the sister team to crash the car live on air yeah that just not feels right
As a person that lived in the Uk for 26 yrs . I Can wholeheartedly tell you the British 🇬🇧 media is biased . They favour their own . In their eyes their drivers can do no wrong . If Max are not allowed to swear then nobody can . They jealous of Max and to be honest it’s clear they discriminate against him and that includes the FIA .
I'm always trying to like Damon Hill due to his legacy as a driver but every single time he makes some kind of snarky remark it proves to me that it's impossible.
Are you saying that these drivers are doing nothing that would warrant some criticism? Don’t be daft. All those drivers you mentioned have some sort of controversial action on track that warranted some heat.
When I started my F1 Career it was with Arrows & Damon Hill. He never spoke to us factory people, he rarely came into the factory. Not a nice bloke. Jos Verstappen was brilliant, he chatted with us all & was a fun guy.
I always get the sence that hill treats Max unfair. I think it's old Hurt from Senna and Max reminds him of Senna. Maybe lashing out at Max feels like payback.
A thief never says he/she is a thief, that's the thing with British press!!! They're rotten bias to the core, the sooner F1 gets rid of many British personalities, the fairer it'll be for other drivers.
Go check WHERE does Dutch press EVER praised Hamilton??I recomend you to hear Tom Coronel and his points about the british driver.Than come here and DELETE your BIAS coment.
@@AABBZZize The Dutch media have praised Hamilton like it was all about him and not the mighty Mercedes for 8 years. When it was a boring victory in the far superior car again he was always "flawless" despite errors that just didn't prevent him winning for example. We were made to believe we were watching greatness just because otherwise it wouldn't be worth watching, they went along with the British narrative to make it more interesting. Dutch coverage can't even exist independent from foreign media because everybody speaks English.
Not only British media, sky commentators or f1 commentators will get Josh up if they are beaten by Lando or Russel. The way the F1 commentators praise Lando or Russel or Louis is not even half of tht they praise Max..
I think the perception that our British media is unbiased may stem from the fact they will criticize British drivers, however they are definitely biased when it comes to a non-British driver against one of our own. Max is a fantastic driver getting the absolute most out of a car that is the 3rd or 4th fastest on the grid which also means he has to race hard. He stepped over the line in Mexico and got penalties for it & the media are obv trying to keep this in the heaadlines to build up this Lando v Max fight. Fingers crossed that Merc can get their cars working this weekend. Come on LH!!
Dutch media is positive towards any driver but favors Max over any other driver, for obvious reasons. Their only audience are Dutch people though. British media will never admit it but its very obvious they don't like Max. Any compliment towards Max always ends in a but.
Max didn't say 'I'm a 3x champion', he said 'I have 10 seasons in F1, I think I know what I'm doing'' 🤔 in the FiA Press Conference. Biased press. Get your FACTS right Kym.
I don't think positive bias towards English drivers by the English media is problematic, it's natural and happens everywhere. The problem is the continuous bile being thrown at non-British drivers that is annoying.
As a dutchie I can confirm that the Dutch media is incredibly biased towards Max, even saying that the penalties weren't fair to Max, which is delusional. But I do think the British media can be biased (at times!), not always.
@@hopanogaalright then show me the Hindi feed in India. Not every country has a broadcast in its own language and sky should try to be more cognisant of that situation.
Mhaw...I always watch Race Cafe (said to be incredibly biased, but I think they have gotten better) and they were all in agreement a penalty needed to be given to Max. The number of seconds was only up for debate.
Max saved F1 from boredom and I will always love him for that, because I am watching formula 1 again. The British press is biased towards British drivers as well, they might not be against Max, but will always favour British drivers over outsiders, we all saw that when it was Max vs Hamilton. The British press isn't the problem, it's the British pundits within F1 and FIA like Herbert and he showed it in the media and there are to many. I don't consider ex F1 drivers like Herbert and Damon Hill press and they can say whatever they want, but not if they work for FIA or F1.
British media isn't biased. You can tell from the time Sky Sports literally made a commercial a couple of years ago with footage of Verstappen crashing. Not biased at all. 😂🤦
That is what a lot of people forget. Real champions do everything in their power to win. Indeed Shumi and also Senna for example so it just proofs that people will remember the wins. The stewards are there to say this is enough and that is what they did.
Obviously English are biased towards their drivers. Much like you are biased towards Australian drivers. But it's not a bad thing unless it's shown by pushing others down.
I agree that all rules should apply on everybody, but its very rare that Charles swears or probably his first ever and he apologised. But with Max he swears while looking straight to the journalist eyes and keeps a straight face with no apology whatsoever. We can make a video that includes Max swearing throughout the years😅
So if you say sorry then its ok? Also be aware that its perfectly fine in many countries to swear on tv and your writing it like Max was saying it to the journalist but he was actually talking about his car so I don't see alot of difference with Charles.
Then tell me why Perez didn't apply for the rule? Or is the F word worst than calling Lawson an idiot over the radio (and not even in the heat of the moment)
max swore in a whinging session on a thursday presser. charles was a slip of the tongue post race straight from podiums as he was describing his reaction to almost binning it into the pit straight wall. charles also pulled himself up straight away. max never apologised and continued to sulk it up all weekend thereafter.
it shouldn't be like "okay dutch media are biased towards his driver so we are" in case of britrish medias bro. dutch media has small audience from their country while everyone around the world watches british media. so why be biased when ur audience is bigger and from evrywhere around the world
Actions speak louder than words & Max's lack of ability to give anybody racing room (respect) says a lot. It's a horrible example for all the upcoming stars to witness & not great to watch from the couch either.
Im English and our media is incredibly biased BUT I cannot stand Hamilton and Verstappen is just a clone of his attitude now, so used to winning and having the best car he cannot stand to be passed on track, petulant and arrogant so he uses snidey tactics to attempt cheating but making it look like he doesn't know he is cheating. Yes Max knows what he is doing and yes what he is doing is designed to stop Norris winning by any way including cheating.
Hey Kym, can you make a video talking about Kyalami? Looks like they got the go ahead to start upgrading the facility for F1 - this is exciting news and could mean we’re going to officially have a “world” championship soon.
They say that when it comes to Max they give credit where credit is due, but what they don't say is that when it comes to the British drivers they often give credit where it isn't due. That's the difference.
Yeah, he's doing exactly what Schumacher did to Hill, and was later DQ'd from 1997 season for, stripped of all his champsionship points, when doing it again against Villeneuve. We're seeing FIAs continued spineless ineptitude on full display once again, as we have for decades, right back to Prost vs Senna days and before, FIA always waiting till the shyte hits the fan before they do anything, despite all the earlier warning signs which they should be reacting to long before things go to far.
Home owner: Hey, you, did I just catch you stealing my TV from my house? Thief: Uh, no? Im just relocating it to a better location. Some people may call it stealing but my tv at home doesnt work so, yea. Its very legal. Home owner: You said it, so it must be true. Thanks for sharing the truth. Have a great day.
someone threw up on hamilton with senna clothes and flags, the man has to make a fool of himself to be noticed. Hamilton was not so special that he was compared to Senna
I think the Singapore presser thing might have to do with Singapore's Broadcast Laws and hence the Community Service for Max and not Charles who did not say that in Singapore
Everyone always talks about British bias (which definitely exists). But what about Dutch bias towards Max? Italian bias towards Ferrari? Spanish bias towards Spanish drivers? There was definitely German bias during Schumacher's day. This is sport!! There will always be bias! So lets stop pretending to be shocked when bias is shown and stop complaining about it as well, because it isn't going to go away.
I asked british media if they are biased and they said they are not is like asking a thief if they have stolen something and taking their statement as the truth if they say they dint steal
I completely understand Verstappens aggressive style in '21. After years in a less competitive RB, he finally deserved at 1000 % to finally get champion. '21 was the best championship for many decennies. In the actual situation he's not at all a model for the youth drivers. His general behaviour is upsetting, after his mature acting last 2 years. He's undoubtedly maybe on the podium of the best F1-drivers of all time, but F1 is not a sim game. F1 cannot afford bad accidents. The general opinion "that Schumacher and Senna" acted in a simular way does not excuse his style, neither that of these "other greatest of all time".
British bias is so rife it’s ruining F1! Stewards, reporters, etc! North American’s are turned off by British drivers due British bias and beginning to tune out F1. Did you note the boos Lando received? The Spanish drivers, Max, and Checo are treated terribly by British commentators, journalists and especially the stewards.
You never heard Lewis getting booooed in Zandvoort,Austria,Belgie,..right??You never heard DUTCH media talking about the english driver,huh?? hypocriet
1:55 Being biased and admitting to being biased are two different things... It is nothing new that top British drivers are placed on a pedestal, and top foreign drivers are being put in a bad light by the British media (especially when they are racing Brits). This is problematic considering the influence Brits have on all aspects of F1.
Lmao Max 'Lil bro'ed Damon with that 3 time world champion comment. Reminds me of Alonso confronting Herbert Edit - Oh wait, 0 time WDC winning F1 driver Jhonny Herbert also has shit to say this time
Max said I THINK I know what I am doing. Why did you remove the I THINK part, is it because you know I THINK means he is not 100% sure of what he is doing?
Asking British media people if they are biased? LOOL. You would need to ask Spaniards or Germans is they have the perception of British media being biased against MV.
Well I strongly dislike the way Max Verstappen drives and competes. Am I biased? No, I am not. The fact is, Max is consistently each and every race in the grey zone violating one or another rule and in terms of that he is even worse than Michael Schumacher. Always on the wrong side of the rules, but just enough to benefit from that while managing to make himself looking to be the victim. This is not a bias. I love this sport and like in every sport there should be a fair and squire fight for victory.
Sky Sports F1 always praises Max. Martin Brundle is notorious for this and that is ok. He praised him in Austin for his masterclass in defensive driving. I know some of you "fans" are too slow to even focus on the commentary. However, when he crosses the line which he usually tends to do. You cant expect hin to be applauded and unfortunately for him he tends to go up against the best of Britain e.g. Lewis, Lando and George. Yes every country will be patriotic about their fellow country man/woman. If he races cleanly he wont be criticised but he time and time again continues to adopt the "back off or we crash" attitude to wheel to wheel racing and that leads to criticism. The steering wheel and how he goes racing are all in his hands not the so called "British bias"
Of course, he has to praise Max for winning races when Max crosses the line, that's his job. It would be too obvious if Brundle and the other Brits never praised Max. The main allegation is not that the British media never praise Max. The allegation is that when they do criticize him, they do overdo it; that they criticize him a lot more and for longer than media from other countries. Okay, buddy, some "fans" are too slow, and you are the smartest, if that makes you feel better.
Re Max. You may not have any doubt about his thinking…..may I add…..You may not have any doubt that if you overtake on the outside he will drive you off track.
The problem with egoistic Max is that he doesn't say sorry or does not know how to say it. Charles immediately apologizing after the cuss word was a sign of man without Ego.
A Brit Steward and Pundit (failed F1 driver to) who always tries to pile issues on Max. He also admitted he does not like Max. How can he be not biased.
He's a 1x HEC, 1x extra lunch money champ and a1x FIA enabled champ, but most of all he's a RuBish driver. Not all that are British love fair competition, there are others.
Understanding big Brit (Commonwealth) media broadly requires you to embrace the term PSY-OP. It's a feature and a mandate to satisfy the common "chap". Outside the UK is not uncommon either . Independent journalist like Kym and others are the top dogs on sourcing reality.
I'm Sick of the Sky Sports F1 British Commentary team, Damon Hill is a 1 show pony and anoying as hell, here in Australia there is always 1 1/2 hours of them talking jibberish proir to the race, so I don't turn the race on for that time.
