Sky or F1? If you have access to the official F1 colmentators, they tend to have a much more neutral view.

Also, I'm currently watching the F1 stream synced with audio from Grand Prix Radio (Olav Mol & Jack Plooij). So, less glorifying of Max. (I'm currently watching with my mother whose level of English is much lower, so prefers Dutch commentary.)

F1TV international feed with Palmer etc. I know they're not the most neutral and I don't expect them to be. I just enjoy the hype they're good at bringing. But I do think many people let their opinion on the race be influenced by them. (Just like if you watch MMA you'll be influenced by the often very dumb opinion of Rogan).

I'm Flemish, so the accent of any Dutch person grates too much for me. ;-) ('g' doesn't have to sound like a failed gear change every damn word ;-) )

Fuck me, dead! Hahaha ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Haha, I get that! And yeah, personally I prefer Alex Jacques and co of the international feed as well.

As a Dutchie I feel this, whenever the feed glitches and it resets, it defaults to Dutch and it's a race to turn it back to the English feed before I cringe at the commentary.

You could try listening to the other English feed, there's nothing like Croft and Brundle imo even though they are very likely to talk a lot about Hamilton and Norris
