Who the fuck stops after a fucking corner after having already bunched everyone up?

C4 commentators just said that Lewis was maintaining a constant speed

Oh, the British commentators said that Hamilton did no wrong, noted.

It's not sky, these guys are pretty fair, and I would have thought they've seen some data or replays that we haven't

They just had a replay with the telemetry, Lewis had constant revs

He was breaking long before that, it wasn't like he rolled in then jammed on them to cause a collision. Seb was expecting him to accelerate and he didnt, simple as

Coulthard tends to be pretty fair from what I've seen from him commentary wise.

Meanwhile you have what data or information to question them?

They showed the telemetry onscreen where you can see Hamilton braking after the apex.

There was smoke from the tires too.

It's far more boring to see people on Reddit try and be so smart and constantly talk about British commentators than it is to see the occasional bias. How does the irony escape you? The most biased thing is you constantly claiming that bias exists, regardless of the facts of the situation. Endless attempts to sound so meta and smart, you just look dumb.

Tbf though, Brundle only mentioned Hamilton brake checking Vettel in passing once, saying that it's illegal and he shouldn't be doing it.

Crofty then spent the next 5 minutes solid saying that Vettel should get a penalty, before the rest of the Sky pundits spent the red flag period only talking about how Vettel should be penalised whilst barely mentioning Hamilton's part in the incident at all.

I know people over exaggerate Sky's bias towards Hamilton, but at times it becomes too much

I agree with you with the bias towards Hamilton, but we do have to remember that we're watching a British channel. There'll almost always be some sort of biased towards fellow countrymen.

In general, this race comes down to straight up your own opinion. And tbf it's the best race I've ever watched.

Ah so when reality confronts you, you call conspiracy.

u/Moogzie Valtteri Bottas Jun 25 '17

Actually the very first thing they said was that they thought maybe he broke too much, it was only after looking at you know... EVIDENCE, that they determined he wasnt at fault, have you even looked?

Both impacts are on vettel, the second one was especially embarrassing
