Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft has taken issue with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s dig at🐻 British media at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Following a stunning comeback vict♕ory from 17th on the grid in a chaotic, rain-hit race at Interlagos, Verstappen, who is on the brink of clinching a fourth straight world title, took aim at British media.

In the wake of recent criticism from former F1 drivers including Damo𒁃n Hill, Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert, the Red Bull ace questioned the lack of British media attending the post-race FIA press conference in Brazil.

“I have a quick question,” Verstappen said. “I appreciate all of you being here, but I don’t see any British press? They had to run to the airport? Or they don’t know where the press conference✨ is?”

But Croft to🦂ok to X (formerly Twitter) in re🌺sponse, writing: “Sometimes there’s more to a story than just a sound bite or a chance to attack people for perception of British bias.

“For my part, as it’s a press conference for w🦹ritten media only, I never attend the post race conference, no matter who’s won.

“Thursday press conferences are different, they are for 𒐪broadcast and written media together. Just to help people und𒐪erstand.

“And the quotes from this are freely available to all media, hence other j🎃ournalists might be off gathering other stories at the time, in the knowledge tha🧜t they won’t miss anything said at the FIA post race presser.”

F1 presenter Will Buxton described Verstappen’s comments as a “cheeky post-race dﷺig”ౠ.

“Max’s cheeky post race dig at UK press not being there probab💖ly needs a bit of context,” he wrote on X.

"I haven’t been to a post race presser in years as I’m always on air. For print press post race is a hectic time of driver pen and ad hoc team boss intervie♛ws conducted in the pa𒉰ddock itself.

“From my days as a written journalist the balance was🐈 always weighing up grabbing qꦍuotes in the paddock versus asking a question in the conference knowing that a full transcript is always made available of the top three presser. Paddock is usually a better use of time on deadline.

“If you’re British, then a Lewis, Lando, George in the top 3 probably gives a bit of sway to being there but not always. Usually only if there’s a controversy that need💛s addressing would you sacrifice searching out oft꧃en unique quotes for a fully transcribed official session.”
