The British-produced Sky Sports F1 coverage has faced claims of being biased towards drivers from the United Kingdom.
Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft has refuted claims of bias towards British drivers in the production. Allegations of bias have surfaced amid the intense title battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. Similar criticisms emerged in 2021 during Verstappen’s showdown with Lewis Hamilton. Outgoing Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey accused the broadcaster of vilifying Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel. Despite the assertions, Croft maintains his efforts to stay impartial and follow the unfolding narrative in races. He acknowledges the challenge of proving neutrality but emphasizes his dedication to fair commentary. Croft has been Sky F1’s main commentator since 2012, overseeing live coverage of all sessions and interviews for markets like the UK and Australia.
