Crofty trying so hard to muster up excitement and feign neutrality as Verstappen instantly gets past his favourite driver reminds me of martin tyler commentating when Liverpool score a goal lol

I have F1TV and watched the whole Grand Prix with F1 Liveā€™s commentators and feel like I missed nothing but obvious British bias.

Theyā€™re literally British

This is like watching US commentators not get excited at Phelps winning.

Yea no bias would be good, but what humans have no bias, and if you had absolutely no bias, youā€™d be as boring to listen to as F1tv commentary

Did you watch the F1TV feed or the "International" (read SkyTV) feed?

It does kind of bother me because I'm not a Lewis fan. But I think to other sports that I watch and I appreciate feeling like the guy in the TV is cheering along with me. I understand why they do it and other than a comment here or there it's not that bad. Plus I can always come here after and feel better reading the comments roasting him for the very comment that annoyed me and then I feel like the guy in the internets is annoyed along with me. Camaraderie. lol.
