Of course the BBC's coverage is incomparably more varied and unbiased than ITV's ever was, and I haven't ever said otherwise. My point is that if you're covering a sport and one guy is winning all the time, some focus on that winner is inevitable, no matter what his nationality is. If Alonso or Kimi were dominating, the BBC would be focusing just as much on them as they currently are on Jenson, for example.

This part of your comment should really be aimed at LS and not at me I think. I never said a thing about "Hamilton bashers", unless quoting his post counts.
