'Di Resta was not a dictator who had just been overthrown or an army general committing genocide or a Prime Minister breaking his own laws, so why then was the news met with such passionate emotion?' ✍️ samcooper_ F1

In 2023, it is rare to see a debate, particularly online, where the two commentators take an entirely neutral view towards an issue. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen fans wage war against each other daily, with any mention of either on social media enough to have the other party baying for blood, while there are plenty of other battles dominating the Formula 1 fandom.

Sky Sports F1, in its role as provider of the international feed, plays a unique character for there are few other sports who can claim to have one team behind 90% of the broadcasting output. When fans tune into races, it is David ‘Crofty’ Croft whose voice they hear. Phrases such as “two secs, Ted” have become part of the Formula 1 lexicon so when a pundit comes on board for Sky, they automatically become a point of focus for the community.

But the comments calling for others to pack their possessions into a small cardboard box as they leave the Sky offices for the final time suggest Di Resta was not solely the problem, Martin Brundle seemingly being the only name not on someone’s hit list.
