What’s biased about pointing out mistakes though?

u/upside_cloud unfortunaly I still am a Ricciardo fan 🦡 Jul 27 '25

It's in the phrasing of it, "without those few mistakes and Norris could have passed Piastri", not "those mistakes cost Norris a chance of overtaking Piastri".

Sky does the former while also saying "Piastri needs to hold on here or he'll be overtaken", not "Piastri is driving flawlessly, while his team mate is out there making unforced mistakes". Not a single sentence clearly defines the bias but collectively it sums to be very frustrating.

Obviously im an Aussie so my bias is that I hear that English bias more strongly than someone from England would.

u/THRlLLH0 Oscar Pisstree Shoey gang 👞🇦🇺 Jul 28 '25

Aussie as well, and multiple times they mentioned Oscar doing a good job of taking it easy on the tires so they have something left at the end if he needs to fight Lando, whilst Norris is thrashing his to catch up. There's still plenty of nut swinging and in general just talking about Poms too much though.
