Sais the bias man himself. Pro tip. Look at your last video's. then walk to the mirror and point at that men there. Yeh. It is you. You are the bias one too. The fact that you "cant see why Max would say that there and then" makes you the one with the blindfolds on.

[ArbalestAlphonse]

Ur video just proves the whole bias issue

[NaomiBoyle-lcfg]

Nothing cringe about it!! He has a very valid point and it’s good that he calls it out. That press conference had such great energy, difference- British press weren’t asking their ‘silly questions’

[JorgeGonzalez-pqvi]

He says he doesnt know why he’s saying and then goes off to list all the reasons why he should

[Mik]

OMG imagine being so obtuse that you attack Max for asking the (entirely valid) question instead of attacking the media for not to do their job 😂😂😂

[leongt]

I read the sour grapes Brits are blaming Piastri for not being a better teammate in holding max up more and letting him pass with ease

[j.vanderknaap]

The world looks at F1 through a British lense. Not by choice, but by contracts.
This is why that lense is expected to be neutral.
It is not neutral. Non-Brits get villainised consistently.
Most recent example? Sky1 pundit likens Max to a cartoon villain, Dick Dasterdly. If that does not open your eyes to 'perceived' bias, nothing will.

And Lando gets a 5000 euro fine for disregarding race rules. 5000 euro for Lando is a dinner out at a fancy restaurant. Apply the rules equally if you dont want accusations of bias.

[AndrewTSq]

The brittish press hates him, so I understand why he does this. They can not stand he is better than Lando

[jasper]

As an Englishman, I cant stand the way British media treat anyone that have the balls to call out thier excessive favouritism. They would treat every other driver the same way if those said drivers were destroying British F1 drivers like Max has done. Yes you can have Favourites, but you need to be professional with the way you treat everyone. Sky has show an extreame lack of professionallism through the last few years and its made worse because of the sheer amount of influence they have. F1 for me has one of the most Toxic Fan bases around and sadly a large amount of of the toxcitiy i see is from our UK fan base. Media make it worse by constantly stiring the pot you just have to look at how much they complain any team vs one with uk Drivers.

[ThommyOcho]

3:25 “one of the drives of your career” and two Alpines for the first time in ages. And no British media. And you don’t find that interesting??

[alakai]

if the sky sports is the main media channel for f1 then its a big f you to max for not showing up if you dont get that you are part of the problem

[NaomiBoyle-lcfg]

And no disrespect to you but the way you view this man has clearly been shaped by the bias in your country/with your media. Yes there is bias everywhere but there is a time to be objective regardless of your bias and to me yours does shine through a little

Peope in the UK dislike Max ever since Abu Dhabi 2021. In a way they know the red flag wasn't caused by Verstappen and it caught Hamilton out because he didn't pitted for new tyre's to keep track position.The decision by Masi to take out the lapped cars in between and not those behind was partly also because f1 had a spoiled belgium race that same year. In belgium due to rain cars did just a couple of laps behind the safety car and Max was awarded 50% points. Teams asked in the following drivers meeting Masi to do whatever he can to avoid races being finished while under safety car conditions. But i agree it had a big influence in the result of the championship. That Max grabbed that opportunity and robbed Hamilton fans of celebrating his 8th world and becoming the goat turned into dislike towards Max ever since. Understandable but also a bit unfair. Back then the rules stated you cannot pass the person in front during safety car and Max stayed like a wheel length alongside behind Hamilton more ready even to divebomb the corner then Hamilton expected. Even with older tyre's the merc was still much faster look back Hamilton was gaining on the straight on Max on that last lap. Just the corners sealed his fate as Max could take them with more speed due to fresher tyre's. When you dislike a person everything he does or say goes through a negative filter and objectivity get's lost. That Max is kinda ruthless and use anything to win that isn't forbidden in the rules and sometimes even then if he thinks it will benefit him to score points doen't help either. How many rule changes FIA made due to Max? A few examples weaving in the breaking zone nowadays you must choice a side to defend you cannot switch again in the breaking zone, moving almost aside a driver under SC is now forbidden must stay behind. British media descibes it as dirty, Max says if it isn't forbidden then FU i am here to win not here to play nice.

You only have excuses and even state, when talking about Alonso, that treating non-British drivers as the enemy is justified because they have committed fouls on British drivers. As if it never happened the other way around or when it did happen it was allowed. I don't know if you realize it, but you are just confirming bias against competitive non-British drivers like Senna (only promoted to an F1 god in the UK after he died), Alonso, Schumacher, Vettel and now Verstappen. All drivers who competed for the WDC title and won. The British (Media) Bias comes in play when a non-British driver makes a move which is later deemed a rule violation by the stewards and a time penalty is given. Just like happened in Mexico last week. What British F1 media, and I include F1TV, always get wrong is that rule violations are part of any sport. That's why there's a rule book, a referee and penalties. F1 is no different than a sport like football where a player risks a yellow card when he commits a foul on an opponent to neutralize an attack that could potentially have led to a goal or any other forbidden but necessary reason. All great F1 drivers have used the rules to their advantage and have taken a yellow card, in casu a time penalty, for it. Verstappen got two yellow cards in one lap, but in F1 that doesn't mean a red card and he knows that. These penalties did make sure he reached his competitive objective by risking penalties and resulted in the simple fact that Norris lost the connection to the front of the field and failed to win the race with maximum points.
The British Media then covers the story as if someone just committed a murder. They fail to educate themselves and their viewers/readers that a driver who did that, British or non-British, only used the rules in such a way to get ahead in the competition just like any other sportsperson would do when the rules allow it or the penalty is worth it. As simple and normal as the multiple yellow cards given in every single football match. It takes knowledge of the rules and the penalties, because when they would go too far it would mean a red card, in casu a black flag. It's stupid to think that only the non-British drivers, of which I already named a few, would do this. All these rules, violations and penalties are in the rule book already and they're only there because they were deemed necessary for all competitors. Remember the moving under braking saga. Verstappen got away with it more than once because the rules weren't specific enough and he could not be penalized for it until they changed the rules. He stopped doing that. And that goes for many other rules in the rule book, they're always a reaction to something that happened and of which the FIA determined it shouldn't be allowed anymore.

You're right in saying that the UK F1 media has a worldwide coverage so this bias has an effect around the world. Verstappen has on numerous occasions mentioned that this false narrative, as I've explained above, leads to social media threats to his family and friends. And there he draws a line. Rightfully so.

Stop making excuses. You can attack any driver as much as you want and even find they shouldn't have committed a foul because your favorite UK driver got his feelings hurt by it. But also paint the real picture. The picture of F1 as a normal sport where there are rules, violations and penalties because ALL drivers will find a way to gain an advantage as long and they get away with it. And if you don't like the reality blame the FIA for wrong rules and penalties, not smart drivers.
Your take on the 2021 WDC is also a direct conclusion directed by British (media) bias; even if Hamilton should have won that how can you blame Verstappen for it. It was a race directors decision, he was still in the bloody car!

Regarding steward Herbert you're missing the point entirely. He is a steward, a referee in F1. You're either that or a pundit, not both. Do you really think that in any other sport the governing body would allow a referee, who should be neutral, to publicly opine about teams, players and what not in the sport? I understand his 300 pound a day for playing steward won't pay the bills, but that doesn't mean you can just go about and create controversy because it's unclear who's talking; the FIA steward or the pundit.

1:45 Someone? That "someone"is Pierre Gasly, 3rd place finisher of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix mate... what the bleep. So disrespectful mate.... I know you are better than this.
3:18 Why Max? are you serious? Are you suggesting it is normal or even ever happened before that the British Press missed a presser for F1? You know... the press corps that basically functions as the defacto F1 Press for the entire world since the inception of F1? There was just one reason they weren't there and we all know the reason, even your fellow British youtubers like P1, Cameron, heck even Peter Windsor are wondering where they had gone too.
I love your channel mate but this vid is a swing and a miss. Max and Gasly were totally correct calling this out. It is not the same as "the Spanish/Dutch/Italian/Polish" press not being there. Itt's like the US press not covering the Nascar winner.

[potatosmuggler]

Come on man! Dutch dont mess about, there is no word such as 'cringe' in the dutch dictionary. It is what it is.

[quigontim]

Your bias makes you feel cringe about it 😂

[Unwoken_European]

Brits were always biased. Also im the older fan of Michael Schumacher. Also my dear youtuber, this Skysport has the monopole of the world's F1 streaming. Most users are forced to get into Formula 1 trough Skysport. They should be forced to be unbiased. Damon Hill and similar good but never excellent drivers are always angry about Senna-Prost-Schumacher- Max...

[TraysonMartin]

No disrespect to you but Max has a point, and I find it odd that its only now that it's being brought up and talked about (even though a majority that are talking about it are brits saying there is no bias, which again inherent bias.) Fernando earlier in the season mentioned he felt there was bias against non-British drivers and honestly since he said that I will say I have noticed certain things that seemingly does show bias favoring British drivers. Maybe not necessarily with the stewards or the FIA, but certainly with media. I mean its so often that when Lando does something that most drivers and viewers see as a normal overtake, he immediately gets praise from either SkySports or F1 TV, yet when Max, or Carlos, or Charles do that same maneuver "Oh really well done, anyway.." And its not just for Lando, back during Lewis' dominance he was praised often. And it really tracks further back from there, it's nothing new. Anytime there was a non-British driver winning or leading the championship they would be seen almost as if they were a villain. Never explicitly saying anything bad about the driver but not giving them the praise they deserved at the time. And if they were locked in a rivalry with a British driver then good luck hearing anything greater than "well done."
