Hier noch mein stark verspäteter (ich muss es leider immer allein begehen), aber außerordentlich vorhersehbarer Beitrag zum 75. Geburtstag von Dame Leslie Lawson am 19. September. Hoch soll sie leben!

Als Gedenkfilm für Glenda Jackson wählten wir als Musikliebhaber Ken Russels unseriöse Tschaikowski-Biographie The Music Lovers, in der sie wirkungsvoll darüber wahnsinnig wird, daß ihr Gatte, der bekannte Komponist sie nicht liebt. Wesentlich unseriöser als Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht hier ist es eigentlich auch nicht, möglicherweise sogar etwas ehrlicher darin, warum er sie nicht liebt.

“I'm not sure people fully appreciate Max just like they didn't with Sebastian. There's this sort of demonization both of them suffered, which I think is very unfair. Maybe that's also a bit of the British media. Sky Sports have a huge influence around the world.”
Translation - fuck sky sports

A lot of you underestimate how prevalent British bias is not only in F1 but across sports generally, and even in other industries.
Max saying he has the wrong passport in the paddock is an accurate statement. Do you think he, Seb, or Michael would've been half as vilified by the British media if they had a British passport instead? Would Fernando? Do you think Yuki would get half as much shit about his radio "conduct" if he was British? Because it's the British commentators who consistently have issues with it, and say shit like it's "unbecoming" for a driver to speak that way, ignoring that 1 it's not his first language and 2 IT WAS ENGLISH PEOPLE HE LEARNT THAT LANGUAGE FROM. Sometimes people misspeak, but Yuki has always taken accountability and apologised if he has and if he caused harm. Martin Brundle did not get nearly as much backlash from the media when he misspoke and called an Asian driver a slur while commentating. He also never apologised for it.
Alex, one of the four Brits on the grid but who drives under the Thai flag, has said that the commentators only call him British born when he does well. He was completely excluded from the Silverstone publicity about the home crowd heroes, whereas George, Lewis & Lando were heralded, not only on race weekend, but for weeks leading up to it.
Alex's statement also reminded me of this Richard Harris quote, "When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman." Genuinely, if I took a shot every time a British organisation/person claimed a talented Irish person was actually a Brit, I'd have died from alcohol poisoning years ago.
Hell, I see George wearing the poppy pin this weekend in the lead up to remembrance Sunday. Do you know the amount of shit James McClean gets every year because he refuses to wear one? And he has very valid reasons for choosing not to wear it, yet he's torn to shreds every year by not only random people on the Internet or on the streets but by commentators and the media too.
Because of how this sport became mainstream and because no one challenged Bernie Eccleston's monopoly on broadcasting rights back in the day (people were given the opportunity to buy a share of the broadcasting rights; the idiots said no), this sport has prioritised the British voice/perspective for decades. I know the other broadcasts are just as biased for their home team/drivers, but the British one is the biggest one, as it's the main broadcast for better and more often for the worst. It's the broadcast with the most reach and influence. Their bias has to be challenged eventually if this sport ever hopes to properly expand and grow. The British bias is so difficult to miss once you start noticing it.
