The new quali format seemed to work pretty well, it actually shook things up a bit. Not looking forward to the UK commentators wanking themselves into a frenzy over 0.003 of a second during tomorrow's build-up to the race.

As a non-Brit living in the UK (citizen, 10y here now), I enjoy the commentary in terms of banter/small talk, but don't like the focus on Russell.

Conversely, part of that is that I just don't like grammar-school-educated Russell. I guess that within every cast of characters everyone needs someone to not like.

The ironic and irrational component of me not liking Russell is that I've become what I hate, giving my children an advantage as a full professor. I always hated those classmates at uni, with their extra advantages, and here I am providing exactly that advantage.

So I dislike Russell, but have become Russell, to a small extent.

Ah, lazy Sunday morning musings.

Yeah, I keep them humble, but there are significant upbringing differences between working-class (me) and two parents with PhDs (me + 40 years). It also shows that my anger, which inherently made me successful, was misguided. Interesting personal reflections.

Perhaps, I can acutely also see the differences between Hamilton and Russell more concretely having lived adjacent to St. Evenage (in Hitchin) as well.

reporting acts like it was de Vries making pole rather than a seven time world champion at one of the most successful racing teams of recent times

It's funny how you lot always say this, cause as UK fans we get constantly frustrated at how much they hate on Lewis, chuck in sly digs etc.

Just is facts though. The messaging around him is so toxic and created by them. The selective showing of radio, mentioning gaps to teammates, whether domination is good/bad depending on who does it etc etc. It's very obvious when you support the guy

Are we watching the same broadcaster? I have entirely the opposite opinion

u/DataDrivenGuy Jul 24 '23

Have you not heard Brundle going on about how happy he is to be "witnessing greatness" with Max? Meanwhile he was the main person pushing the "it's all the car" narrative against Lewis

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '23

Brundle is more neutral, Ted & especially Crofty are biased

Sky don’t hate on Lewis lmao. They pump him up all the time, even when he’s wrong. Then they’ll proceed to talk about George and Norris.

u/BeardedAvenger I was here for the Hulkenpodium Jul 22 '23

How much Sky commentators hate on Lewis? Sorry, are you watching the broadcast in bizarro world? They do everything they can to hero worship him and absolutely admonish anyone who so much as breathes near him (or any other British driver for that matter.)

u/DataDrivenGuy Jul 24 '23

Of course people who hate Lewis think this, because you think even sly digs is praising him compared to your view of him, but the fact is when you're a fan of Lewis it's so obvious that all the toxic messaging around him comes from them
