They definitely are biased towards Lewis, but not quite like the way Nico talks.Well the rest of the Sky team does the same, so he probably feels compelled to follow.
Got a tip for us?

I was watching some clips last week from a while back in time when Martin Bumble first became the Roving Line Agitator. There was one clip where he was trying punch through to get in the face of Alonzo when security lifted him up and carried him off the line.
Was a very satisfying moment in time.
I’m so glad I don’t watch the Sky coverage. Far too many nauseating personalities crammed in. Give me channel 4 highlights anyway of the week lol. Not that I have enough time to watch entire races these days anyway 
Agree. I like David Caultard.I’m so glad I don’t watch the Sky coverage. Far too many nauseating personalities crammed in. Give me channel 4 highlights anyway of the week lol. Not that I have enough time to watch entire races these days anyway
It’s his way of apologising for the WC he cheated him out of!
Maybe Brundle is a marmite kind of person, you either love him or hate him.
I used to watch the races in full but then I had kids and those weekends go too quickly as it is lol. I didn’t support the sport moving onto PPV back in 2011 either and felt the BBC coverage before it was some of the best we ever had. I always felt Coulthard kept Brundle in check too. It’s kind of sad how the F1 following in the UK diminished once full races went off terrestrial TV.
Ah, the Good Old Day of Terrestrial TV. It was a better time in sports coverage at least IMO.
It will be interesting to see Miami play out. I'm not keen on the layout. It's really set up for an Indy Car size chassis. I realize 2022 chassis' are slightly smaller but not that much. I just don't see a lot of passing at the proposed Miami Circuit from what I've seen.
The drivers are excited about it, bit all I hear is their excitement of being in the City of Miami in the US. Not many comments on the layout.
I had not yet looked closely at the layout of the Miami circuit, but if this is accurate, then yikes: Turn 1 Lap 1 could very likely be a clusterf**k of epic proportions.
Without much space/room/distance between the starting grid and Turn 1 I see all the cars closely grouped and lots of contact in 1/2. And being a street circuit, I would not foresee much run-off room, meaning multiple cars are lost before the opening lap is complete. Just a hunch. They might be better off running this course clockwise.

It‘s fairly narrow as well. I’m hoping it doesn’t end up like today’s cars at Imola this year. I‘m concerned. 😟

Have to disagree with that. You didn't get anywhere near as much sport on TV as you did before satellite TV.
I understand. I should have been more specific and stated, “The Good Old Days without Sky’s coverage.” Just my opinion. As long as you’re happy with Sky that’s all that matters.
I wish a deal would go through to get F1 on Amazon Prime, like they've talked about. I can't have Sky Q where I live and would love to watch it in UHD. Some of the footage on Drive to Survive is superb. But then it also depends who they have commentating as to how good it would be.
P1 for Lewis
P2 for Max
P3 for Bottas
Barcelona is a favourite track for Lewis. Hard to see him not being on the top step tomorrow.
Whatever your opinion of him, 100 poles is impressive. He can deliver every 10th out of a car over a single lap better than anyone.
But timings wise, things are very close.

I think you'll be surprised soon. Amazon want's F1 on Prime especially with another GP now in the US. They will make a deal at least for the US GP's at first IMO.
Liberty Media have made no secret of their desire to make F1 bigger in America. And one of the reasons they want it on a streaming service is to make it more accessible to try and draw in different people.
Yeah.
And I really do think that Lewie & Merc are almost bulletproof. Like 99% bulletproof.
I think, also, Max & Merc wouldn't be bulletproof.
I think Lewie & RBR would almost be bulletproof as well but not the the extent that LH&MB are now.
In other words, Lewie really is a much better driver than Max. Given the same equipment I still think Lewie wins 9/10.
The Netflix show is interesting fast food in my opinion and got a bit better now since the main guy (Bill?) tries to do less of the fake-interview-drama.
The show also tries to portrait Horner as an almost likeable character which seems quite the task to me
In a discussion on the sport one should be able to voice their opinion of course. If someone finds it less interesting than in the past so be it.
Never said they couldn't. My point is he moans about every aspect of the modern day F1, so seems a waste of his time watching it and then complaining online.
You specifically wrote don’t watch it.
Easy solution. Ignore. No need to be stressed out about it. If he dislikes every aspect, let them do theirs.
Armchair moaning about other armchair moaners is just losing your lifetime.
