Indeed shame on SkyF1 after their golden boy couldn't win.
SkyF1 treats just like a sore loser after another DNF for Hamilton.
When you enter SkysportsF1 website the only thing that you can feel is that Rosberg has another rival except Hamilton called SkysportF1. Obviously SkysportF1 have no respect for FIA decisions and sell their own thoughts.
Absolutely one sided international media. That is just ridiculous. What a sore losers.

Don't go to their website, don't watch their channels. I know if our team would start winning again, they would make it sound like we do not deserve victories. It's just better to avoid such media.

It's very clear to me what is happening. For the TV audience, we are having an absolutely terrible season, F1 cars are quieter than the safety car, in some cases they are slower than GP2 cars, and one team is completely dominating. Added to that we have this crazy fuel-saving obsessed Formula.

So Sky F1 are really clutching at straws for their marketing, so they are desperate to create this big Lewis vs. Nico controversy as if it's becoming some classic rivalry. In reality, they've been pretty fair so far. They have been desperate to really use the Monaco and Canada incidents to try to create something that just isn't there.

Just watch other coverage when you can. Remember Sky is purely subscriber driven, and it shows in how they will do anything to try to get people watching, however desperate they have to be.

Most of us know Sky Presenters are huge Hamilton lovers and it wind's me up when they are biased but the truth is if you want to watch every race live we have to subscribe to sky here in the UK.

The lack of profesionalism on the journalists is very common this days. Fanboys (or haters) who write and make statements

They are definitely poo-stirring between Lewis and Nico. It's the comparison with Prost and Senna that makes me laugh the most. I'd compare them more closely with two primary school girls in the playground.

You may well be right over that , biased towards LH, but I have to say that Ted Kravitz said that he was hoping Alonso would win a third WDC this year.Well done , Ted:thumb Although He's probably out of luck like the rest of us.:-??

Surprised Ted said that, he's always been a Kimi fanboy.

Yep, they're all Ham and Merc fanboys over there, especially that Crofty clown, that's a widely known fact. It's extremely annoying to listen to their constant praise of Ham and Merc. I always thought that sports commentators should be unbiased, how silly of me lol. :roll

this makes no sense if you look at their overall coverage over the last few years.
people where saying they where all red bull, in love with finger boy, people sick of seeing horner's face, etc

there is not much to report on this year, mercedes wins everything and their drivers get the most attention.
same was said about ferrari when they where winning everything.
now i dont follow their site, don't read anything over there, just saying the same has been said before with different names

The point is Sky have to respect for Nico Rosberg. He is doing great job.

He may still be, Suzie, but that's what he said in answer to a question that was put to all the commentary team before this season started - who do you think will win? who would you like to win?.
Also M Brundle indicated that he wouldn't be disappointed if Alonso took a third WDC, but I can't remember that word for word.

However after the Kravitz interview with Fernando before the Candian GP on the subject of pressure required for brake pedal - which to be fair, was quite aimiable - it was business as usual, the wily old fox and politics guff. Very irritating.
