Yeah, let's stop investigating incidents before pulling people out of races, deducting points or disqualifying them. That will be fun! You will probably be real excited if that happens to a driver you actually support and it turns out, welp, there was actually a problem with the car, the driver in front breaked unexpextedly or whatever. There is nothing that could go wrong there.

Man. Vettel looks so pissed.
Yeah, because I said they shouldn't investigate.

I haven't watched any F1 races on Sky F1 in quite some time, and now I remember why. Both commentators willing Hamilton on as though he is the only driver in the race.
I find it completely off putting.

To be fair, it is more interesting than this race so far.
Rightfully so.
But he's BRITISH.
I know, I've got the football build up on volume rather than listen to it.
So they should FIRST disqualify someone and THEN investigate if he deserves to be disqualified? Right, that makes sense of course.
No no aren't you ready for the amazing "Hammer Time"?!
UK commentary is allowed to be biased to UK drivers. I just do not understand this critisism. You want them to champion Bottas? Why?

Damn, Hamilton was determined to get passed Bottas.

Great now we have the 1-2.
Never expected that.
Where's Putin?

Did I SAY they should DQ him BEFORE investigating? Just forget about it. Fine since they don't do black flag DQ's in F1 anymore anyway. Might as well scrap it from the rulebook if the DQ's are only given after a race.
Hilarious burn, Dan27.

Yeah, I never understood the hate for that sort of nationalism in sport. Of course they're going to cheer for the top British guy.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
"I got you so many championships, so have a talk with your boy"
Yeah, I don't get it either. If you watch german RTL they will only care about what happens to Vettel. If you watch Sky UK they will care about the british drivers. It's pretty much the same everywhere.

Nice move Hamilton. And surprisingly so far Hamilton did not commit an mistake.

Seriously, the steategy was right, crazy he lost while on fresher tyres.
Watching RTL is infuriating to me for exactly this reason. And i don't even dislike vettel. The commentary team is the main reason i switched to Sky Germany
It's a bummer to me because I care more about the teams and they're almost all British teams no matter who the owner is. Hell, Mercedes are technically my hometown team.
Yeah and Hamilton had a much easier time getting past after the pitstops.
I don't mind them cheering for the British driver...I just hate when they start making excuses for mistakes made by British drivers and don't give credit to another driver out driving him.

They have shown him twice. One time to show his massive gap, the other time was his pit stop. He's alive and well, if that's what you're understandably worried about.
Yes.
You wanted him to be DQed instead of getting a stop-and-go.
You can't properly investigate an incident during the race when you actually have to, you know, watch the race and don't have ANY data and can't talk to the drivers or do basically anything you'd have to do actually investigate the incident. So, if you DQ someone during the race, it's without an investigation that would lead you to actually know if you should DQ him.

Yeah but how many other countries do RTL provide the commentary for? Sky have mentioned plenty of times how they provide commentary around the world for many countries. It might be an idea once in a while to remember that not everyone watching is in the UK or gives a shit about Hamilton?
