The president of the FIA takes away a stone
“Both Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen have often been demonized by the English media, a dynamic that is truly unfair to them. Sky Sport UK has a strong influence on the narrative and the return of F1 to users and I have never shared this tendency which leads to putting some drivers on a pedestal and others not”. As Adrian Newey podcast host High Performance has launched a serious accusation against a broadcaster which, being the English language one, enters the homes and devices of many F1 fans all over the world.
“I agree 100%“said Max Verstappen regarding the words of the former Red Bull ace in the hole who signed the titles of Sebastian Vettel and the Dutchman from the desk. Verstappen has always had the solidarity of Fernando Alonsoalso a victim from his point of view of a ‘softer’ F1 towards those who belong to the Anglo-Saxon world, on the contrary more angular for those who don’t come from across the Channel.
There is another prominent figure from the world of F1 who believes he is certainly not the darling of the English media. Let’s talk about the President of the FIA Mohammed Ben Sulayem than interviewed by the newspaper Autosport he did not consider the possibility of gradually applying the brake pedal in expressing his disappointment in the face of what is now a media habit towards him: “Verstappen demonized? Yes, he’s had his ‘share’ of abuse, but let’s talk about me. By God, I am always condemned – the words of Ben Sulayem – I don’t get any specific accusations, but the English media continues to paint me in a bad light. This attitude doesn’t bother me, I know they do it to gain an audience and to ensure that their news gets more media coverage. They have no power over me and the FIA. The British media, like all other media, does not have the right to vote. The FIA General Assembly has the power, not the English media.”
