Huh? If anything Sky has been overly joyous over Max. Seriously, look at even the moment Max won the WDC in 2021, Crofty was shouting with excitement, despite everyone knowing what Masi did was bullshit.
They had Horner in interviews far more than any TP, it felt like every 15 minutes! That's died down a bit since the allegations against him, though.
Sky definitely talk about British drivers more (duh, they're the British broadcast), but they've never seemed mean to non-british drivers.
Anybody who thinks sky has an awful bias clearly hasn't watched Dutch or German F1 coverage. Shit, Viggo sports was literally sponsored by Max Verstappen for a while. Think about that for a moment. Sports coverage, sponsored by an athlete from that sport!
I think this is mostly a case of someone thinking the world is against him/his camp, because he isn't privy to the hate that also gets spewed to others.
