Furious Formula One team BANS broadcaster after Ralf Schumacher aimed pointed jibe at driver following X-rated outburst at the British Grand Prix
Formula One team Aston Martin are reportedly boycotting rights-holding broadcaster Sky Germany due to excessive criticism. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, the team, owned by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, declined an interview with Sky reporters Ralf Schumacher - brother of seven-time world champion Michael - and Peter Hardenacke. The two reporters were in the paddock trying to secure interviews, which is common practice in F1, and set their sights on the Aston Martin garage. However, not a single representative of the team would speak to them. After being refused access, Schumacher quickly quipped: 'I know they're not giving us any more interviews because they don't like us that much at the moment.' The decision not to speak to Sky Germany at the Hungaroring is sad to have stemmed from a comment made by Schumacher at the British Grand Prix, where he criticised the conduct of Lance Stroll, the son of owner Lawrence. The former F1 driver claimed that Stroll should apologise to his engineers after an x-rated rant over the radio at Silverstone, a race in which the Canadian bagged six points through a seventh-placed finish. 'This is the worst piece of s*** I've ever driven,' Stroll angrily burst out in the cockpit. However, the reaction to Stroll's outburst is not believed to be the only reason for Aston Martin's Sky boycott. According to German outlet BILD, Aston Martin also declined the interview as they believe Sky shows little interest in the team at other media events, such as press conferences. They are now understood to be setting an example of Sky as interest grows in the team, due to more positive results from both Stroll and Fernando Alonso in recent weeks. Sky reporter Hardenacke even admitted that they were 'a bit too critical' of Aston Martin. Nevertheless, Sky Germany are still allowed to attend official race events despite the boycott, and it is yet to be seen whether Aston Martin will boycott the broadcaster after the summer break.
