You know what they have done some good interviews with Alonso recently and not portraying him as a pantomime badguy
 
Proof that the BBC are biased in favour of Hamilton came with his crash in Belgium GP. How DC and Brundle, two ex-F1 drivers could possibly think it was Kobayashi's fault beats me. Oh, and sorry to bring up this incident again!

They also ganged up on Maldonado after qualifying and tried to suggest that he was getting revenge and Lewis was the innocent victim, when in fact, Lewis was also at fault for the collision.

The BBC are biased to British drivers and most of the time I don't mind, but sometimes (like their reaction to the Hamilton-Maldonado incident) they are very unprofessional and behave like fanboys.
 
I suppose every national tv station is going to be biased towards their nation's drivers. In countries like Spain it is very obvious which is good because they are just enthusiastic and clear with their support, the problem with the BBC is that they try not to be biased even though a lot of time they are so it comes across much more underhand and appears like they are trying to mislead the viewer. I think that tv stations should be either completely biased and obvious with their support, or completely and utterly unbiased and neutral, it should be one or the other.
 
I'm not excusing the bias but I'm sure that TV commentators around the World are biased towards their own compatriots. I'm kind of stating the obvious, aren't I? :)

But yes, DC's response to the Maldo - Hamilton incident took my breath away.
 
Whats wrong with pro-Brit bias? It is, after all, the British Broadcasting Corporation.
 
MB is always nice to his buddies, and I remember James hunt having digs at Patrese for anything and everything.
