David Croft counters Max Verstappen’s dig at British media
Prominent British F1 me♔dia respond to Max Verstappen's 'I don't see any Br💧itish press?' dig.

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 di⛄g at British media at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Following a stunning comeback victory 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 includ🔯ing Damon Hill, Martin Brun🍌dle 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 𝐆all of you being here, but I don’t see any British press? They had to run to the airport? Or they d𒆙on’t know where the press conference is?”
But Cr🎀oft took to X (formerly Twitter) in response, 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 written media only, I ༒never attend the post rac🔜e conference, no matter who’s won.
“Thursday press conferences are different, they are fꦿor broadcast and written media together. Just to help people understand.
“And the quotes from this are freely available to all media, hence other journalists might be off gathering other stories at the time, in the knowledge that they won’t mi🍸ss anything said at the FIA 🦩post race presser.”
F1 presenter Will Buxton described Verstappen’s comments as a “𒉰cheeky post-race dig”.
“Max’s cheeky post race dig at UK p🐟ress not b💯eing there probably needs a bit of context,” he wrote on X.
"I haven’t been to a post race presser in ye༺ars as I’m always on air. For print press post race is a hectic time of driver pen and ad hoc team boss interviews conducted in the paddock itself.
“From my days as a written journalist the balance was always weighing up grabbing quotes in the paddock versus a🌞sking 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, thenꦬ 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 needs addressing would you sacrifice sꦍearching out often unique quotes for a fully transcribed official session.”
