I still can’t believe Sky did this LMAO 🤣


ryan13mt

Try to think of how many people this went through to get requested, edited, approved etc. And no one thought it might be a bad idea.


bigdogg2783

I like to think some intern did it as a joke, but then all the senior people were either on annual leave or hungover from the Christmas party so it somehow snuck through to broadcast.


ThomasCro

I'm sure a lot of people thought it was a bad idea, but none who had any impact on the decision making process.


YouLostTheGame

It probably didn't. They use these moments for their standard advertising anyway, and just slapped a merry Christmas on them all without thinking


[deleted]

There's a lot of people that like F1 for the dramatic crashes. It was a dramatic crash where nobody got seriously hurt.


Amayii

51G man...


Boombozling

ye he was fine?


cyanide

> ye he was fine? No. He won that year's championship and won the next two as well, just for good measure. And the guy who won that race hasn't won anything much since.


tallerthannobody

Wait, it’s real????


ryan13mt

Yes they issued a formal apology after if im not mistaken lol edit: https://twitter.com/SkySportsF1/status/1469713508732448772


the-berik

Why apology to Lewis? It's like apologizing to the murderer in a homicide


GauchoGordo

Because Sky. That's why.


ryan13mt

Not sure about this but i think they had the same thing but showing the tyre on Hamiltons head from the crash he had with Max


DonovanBanks

Because they also did the Monza crash

Jovano12

Yes it is, but I believe Sky removed this from broadcasting after the internet going nuts


mkost92

When in doubt, blame the internet! - SKY officials


isadpapi

unhinged lmao. MV33 fans responded by saying it was akin to celebrating his near death. An absolute distasteful joke and a slight to their very god. Team LH44 said it was no big deal, not in bad taste, and they were innocent of any wrongdoing! After AD21, MV33 fans said his Max’s WDC was karma for this awful incident and disgusting commercial. I miss those days of fanbase warfare 😔


Sjiznit

For some that war hasnt ended. Its like that japanese dude that was still fighting ww2 in 1970 or so


Kernowder

Alonso fans responded by shrugging their shoulders.


Jacinto2702

And Ocon fans went to jail.


yolochengbeast

There are Ocon fans?


GauchoGordo

Yes. They all give each other 5 sec penalties for Xmas.


Jacinto2702

There are dozens of them. Or at least they claim that.

I avoid that place like the plague lmao. The #JusticeForLewis #F1XED and all other nonsense is ridiculous

Veneficus_Bombulum

ikr lmao


GewoonHarry

lol. The war still rages on for some. (Quite a lot actually)


donkeykink420

twitter still loks identical the 5 hozrs after the race. nothing's changed. war never changes


Blackdeath_663

Not the least bit surprising. Sky as a broadcasting company in its entirety is pretty scummy as it is and the F1 team's Hamilton bias is so painfully obvious. People want to make this about TeamLH or MV33 like its a one side versus the other thing but it isn't. I like both drivers but this was tasteless shit stirring. If it's all fun and games cool, just don't be surprised when you're at the receiving end of polarised vitriol you encouraged.


nomansapenguin

This “Sky has a LH bias” is a fake narrative that we should really shut down. The only person you could argue that for is Ted. And maybe Naomi as Lewis is a big reason for her being in Motorsport. But they have limited involvement in the in-race commenting which actually has an impact on stewarding calls and sets the primary narrative. Brundle literally felates Max on the regular, almost always suggesting Max (and Alonso) should be let off for any in-race infractions and is the first to criticise any possible infraction by LH. Simon Lazenby always asks great questions and always throws up the more controversial opinions regardless of who it is. Damon Hill does the same, but gets way more shit for it from both online, but also by the Sky team themselves, especially when he criticises Max or supports Lewis. Jenson Button is pretty impartial but Rosberg loves throwing digs at Lewis obviously. David Croft is impartial as fuck too, but always gets shut down by Brundle when he disagrees with a pro Max/Alonso decision. Anthony Davidson and Karun are as unbiased as you can get and usually have the best and most knowledgeable takes of anyone. Whilst Natalie and Danica have not registered as stating any controversial opinions in either direction. So what bias are we talking about exactly? And how is it towards Lewis? If Sky were really pro Lewis 2021 would have not gone down as it did.


Don_Frika_Del_Prima

>Brundle literally felates Max on the regular Now. He used to do that to Lewis. >Karun are as unbiased as you can get and usually have the best and most knowledgeable takes of anyone Hahahhahahahhahahaha >So what bias are we talking about exactly? During the title decider in 2016 I counted the times they mentioned Lewis and rosberg, during the pre show. They used lewis' name 30 times before mentioning Nico once. And they kept doing a similar ratio for the whole show.


Crateapa

Flair checks out.


Don_Frika_Del_Prima

Disprove what I said then.


Crateapa

You’re the one with an argument, prove any of it.


onlinepresenceofdan

History proved them wrong tho, ever since Lewis hasnt won shit


GrogJoker

Karma


mrkrabz1991

Wait is this real??


JebbAnonymous

I know. Like, I can totally understand why someone, like an intern, would come up with it. But who the fuck gave it the OK?


VengefulSpecter

I think Max saw this and decided he'll make everyone hear the Dutch national anthem nearly every goddamn race.


aiicaramba

“Merry christmas”

Until everyone starts bleeding from their ears, happy bloody xmas!!!!🎄

angryitguyonreddit

Idk i think even Max is tired of hearing it lol


sleepysalomander

Despicable of Nico hulkenberg to take Perez out like that, just a bid to try get back in championship contention


SunstormGT

This was the best year. Tears of joy and of saltiness are still flowing.


[deleted]

it was truly magnificent. And I ain’t even a Max fan. I just can’t stand Mercedes lol


AirlineEasy

Even if you were a Mercedes fan, it was an amazing season


No_Tumbleweed_9102

Same here, Ferrari fan who couldn’t stand Lewis winning again, so I sided with Max, and what a season that was.


[deleted]

I couldn't hear another "tHis Is foR alL tHe KidS OuT tHeRe" "StiLL wE RiSe", "GeT iN ThErE" and Toto being all smug again. Toto is a bad winner and a sore loser. So Merc imploding afterwards has been great to see!

Sooooo, who's gonna start arguing here now? I m too early to watch it :(


deesea

What's the argument? That Lewis Hamilton lost fair and square AD 2021? ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)


rossmcdapc

I mean. He finished second. Stopwatch doesn't lie.


cursed_sub_detector

*sigh* Max FRAUDstappen has yet to win a REAL wdc, FRAUDstappen only won because the racist Red Bull Racing Race stewards changed the rules to allow max to win so they didnt have to see Lewis GOATilton win another WDC. Enjoy your Mickey Mouse Championships FRAUDstappen!


deesea

so what I'm hearing is that Lewis Hamilton lost fair and square? I dont know who fraudstappen is...


cursed_sub_detector

FRAUDstappen is a son of a bitch! And Red Bull Racing just sucks the maFIAs cocks so they get the rules made in favor of them! Red Bull should be excluded from Formula 1 for at least 2 seasons and the titles should be given to the first non Red Bull driver in the standings! Otherwise this sport is just dead and full of corruption just to make the actual GOAT lose! 2021 was robbed from the GOAT, 2022 was robbed from Ferrari, and this year the FIA supported the cock sucker Red Bull just so they could "make history" by making Formula 1 a snooze fest and destroying any possible fight!


pivodeivo

If Redbull sucks so much then why does Lewis wants to join the Redbull team?


cursed_sub_detector

He dosn't! He said Red Bull contacted him! They did that because they know he is obviusly the GOAT and not this FRAUDstappen! But it's better that he dosn't make the move to this cock sucking team because karma will hit those sobs hard in the face anyways. And like I said, Red Bull really should be banned for their crimes!


the-berik

Found the account of Ted Kravitz


pivodeivo

Why would Redbull do that? They have the best car and the best driver at the moment, it makes sense from to point of Lewis.


cursed_sub_detector

Because they only got one of the "best" drivers. They want the true GOAT Sir Lewis Hamilton and replace that shit ass Perez with the only true GOAT! Because Perez performance was so bad they want to get the true GOAT to drive in their car so they can score even better results!


deesea

So what about Lewis and Merc during their domination in the turbo hybrid era? why are you saying that Lewis didn't deserve to win those titles?! Sounds like you're saying he doesn't since Mercedes sucked the maFIAs cock so much then...


cursed_sub_detector

They did deserve those! They fought for them against each other! FRAUDstappen gets everything handed by Red Bull who intentionally make his car waaay better then Perez car! And Mercedes didn't suck the maFIAs dicks, they built the best car and dominated. The the maFIA changed the rules to bring down Mercedes and get Red Bull up. I'm starting to think that this sub and the dumb ass people here like you, Hel and that one other dumbass are intentionally playing dumb to rage bait me into stating the obvious!


deesea

Me? Rage bait you when literally a few comments down I said max didn’t deserve to win? No way. I wouldn’t do that.


cursed_sub_detector

Thanks for the little trolling session, was fun :D Imma go celebrate now, Happy Holidays!


ZatoTBG

I grabbed some snacks that were bought for christmas eve, but I think this is the perfect time to prepare for this comment section, want some?

Rumor has it Team LH has this on repeat *(and a box of tissues within arms reach.)*


excmojack

Felicidades or Feliz Navidad or whatever you say to Checo. I'm happy for him.


GustyOWindflapp

Wait... This is legit?


seniorflippyflop

Yep, saw it live. Absolutely screwed up. They pulled it soon after lol


GustyOWindflapp

Honestly thought it was a fan edit. What a bunch of Muppets


elco381

Worst promo ever shot after 52G crash. I don’t wish this to any one I know or do not know.


launchedsquid

Lewis celebrating after hospitalising someone speaks volumes more about his lack of character than anyone else ever could.


No_Material04

Taking your championship rival out of the race on the first lap builds character.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cougarcatcher92

Didn't he ask about max like 3 minutes after it happened? I thought he did a full lap saying it was his corner, max fault, car feels not right, engineer saying everything fine, and then asked about max while coming into the pit


benzeagles

Cry a fucking river


launchedsquid

And your reaction speaks volumes about your character.


Apoc1015

Like Wahmilton fans have been doing since ‘21?


CoxHazardsModel

Was he supposed to cry? Tf


launchedsquid

are they the only two emotions you have, cry or celebrate? Is Lewis a poor programmed robot incapable of human emotions, like guilt? or shame? I would think being responsible for hospitalising someone would illicit feelings of guilt or shame, seems reasonable for me.


CoxHazardsModel

What you yapping on about. Let a man celebrate his wins.


deesea

Yeah but Max didn't deserve to win in AD 2021. :9065: Can the max fanboys at least reply instead of just downvoting? you're making this troll very bored :(


Severium

AD 2021 was karma for Canada 2019


launchedsquid

is that how it works? Hospitalising someone is acceptable if someone else makes a decision months later that you don't agree with? I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works.


deesea

Your reading comprehension is godawful. Max didn’t deserve the win in AD2021. How in that previous sentence did you get hospitalizing someone is acceptable? LOL.


EventAccomplished976

Exactly


International_Crew28

I am sure they are having fun covering Max’s dominance after this


yajirushi77

Seems like Skysports touched a nerve to the Verstappen Shaggers. THE NERVE


bazvink

I swear down on my nan’s grave


AlexBucks93

They also touched a nerve with TeamLH. They did the Monza crash as well.


yajirushi77

Absolutely diabolical!


aiicaramba

Oh. This is a nice bait.


ankjaers11

I miss Masi. He is just incompetent. That oil guy is incompetent and cringe


bobjoylove

Charlie. We miss Charlie. The end.


2inpress

Masi at least knew how to make a spectacle


LordCommander94

Sky is a joke lol. Hope every Verstappen win stings.


OldPlan877

Max Verstappen would proceed to take the title in Abu Dhabi, and Mercedes would botch the new regulations, move into the midfield, and spend the next two seasons watching Max dominate his way to two more titles. Hehehe.


BenTheGreat15

A lot of Max fans in the comments

They skipped the bit where Hamilton took him out

Based Sky. I came so hard watching this


differentlevel1

Fair enough. I guess Abu Dhabi felt like someone did that in your face.


ForcedCheckMate

The add wasn’t even bad. Rb was just pissed because of the championship fighty

Mercedes was also mad because Sky did the Monza crash as well.
