    That’s what happens when you have marketing people sitting around without anything else to do!

    Sky now also on it, posting both damon and crofty saying how Max should get a bigger penalty because he finished ahead of Norris, he still gained.

    Yet when we go back to Silverstone 2021, they went on about how great the win was and how he overcame a 10 second penalty.

    If anyone needed any further proof just how shamelessly full of hate and bias the British media is, there it is.

    And Mclaren can also F off with their ''mental health and love'' campaign when they're actively fueling the anti Max fires.

    Exactly. So long no reliability issues he'll do his absolute best to trounce the field.

    Same as his promise that Karun heard him say post Baku 2023 "he'll never, ever beat me again".

    Don't anger Max.

    Bas, all media is pretty much biased to their fellow countrymen not just the Brits. Please dont whip up hatred where there isnt any!!

    I dont like Verstappen, then again I dont like Hammy or Russell or Norris come to that.

    None of them would give you the time of day so whats the point of getting hot under the collar!!

    Best

    I've always maintained this, a bit of bias is expected from everyone. The British media has to keep in mind they are the only ones that serve practically globally. Of course people will still understand somewhat of bias but they've once again proven to be overly biased. Same as with Michael.

    Great poster! However there were at least 3-4 other cars that passed that checker flag before the Ferrari. Bummer!

    BAS - I have always maintained that F1 needs confrontation to boost or at least maintain viewing figures, its been going on for years since & before the Prost / Senna debacle. Without it there would be very little to discuss. Its all hype!

    "The British media" are in fact a handful of opiniated individuals with an axe to grind.
    I never thought they were very representative, mostly when they exult nationalism in their comment.

    This from the hollow WDC Damon Hill, desperate for respect.

    McLaren use repaired old floors to fix Norris’s F1 car “destroyed” in Verstappen crash
    The McLaren Formula 1 team turned to a stockpile of previously damaged car parts to repair the areas of Norris’s machine that were broken in his Austrian GP crash with Verstappen

    Perhaps you should ignore the hacks on the newspapers like I do and get your reports from the experts at, for instance, Motor Sport or Autosport. Clear unbiased authoritative journalism.

    It is one of my favorite tracks and races in F1 calendar. It is also among the best races for fans with plenty of off-track events and activities. This year also, there will be many events happening during the whole weekend including music performances, fan meetups, driver & team personnel appearances etc. This is a perfect guide for someone who is looking to get information about the top events happening in and around the Silverstone Circuit this weekend.
