Team Principal live interviews qualifying/race.

[gobuddygo]

Do Sky sports F1 alternate which Team Principles they pick for interviews live during qualy and the race? Seems to me not all TP participate in it, anyone have stats for most/least live interviews?

[parabolica]

They do, but it always seems to be Redbull or McLaren, with a sprinkling of Alpine, Haas and Ferrari on the rare occasion. Never heard any of the other teams be involved.

Feels like 95% Whinger Spice these days.

As above, the majority of air time is filled by RBR and that’s unfair, particularly on us. They’re getting free publicity/sponsor time and we have to see/hear far too much Horner. The F1 directors seem to be able to find Ms. Halliwell too almost every race.

Red Bull F1 exists to promote their fizzy drinks, maximising their exposure makes sense.

Other teams choosing not to get involved is their loss.

Even so, SKY should try much harder to be even handed, but that is not their style.

I can sort of see his point about the porpoising, he is just trying to protect an advantage that Red Bull has over everyone else, he did exactly the same with the blown diffuser era RB after all but he really does come across as a whining bell end.
However, if the TV cameras go looking for team bosses and he is the only one to show up, it's hardly his fault.

I personally don't like the guy, never have done but i cannot deny he has been very successful and i am equally sure he speaks very highly of me too if he could be bothered to look down from his lofty perch as the Boss of one of the most, if not THE most, successful F1 teams of recent era
