Sky Sports boycott in Mexico due to disrespect
Max Verstappen says after Mexican GP his boycott of Sky's Formula 1 coverage in Mexico was in response to the "constant" disrespect he has faced this year.

Over the Mexican Grand Prix, it was visible that Verstappen and Red Bull team were not taking part in any Sky Sports interviews across all its regional channels in the UK, Germany and Italy.
Verstappen explained his decision to not talk to Sky after winning the race, saying: "It had nothing to do this weekend."
"But this year it's been a constant… yeah, kind of like daily being disrespectful, especially one particular person. And it's enough, I don't accept it."
"You can't live in the past. You just have to move on. Social media is a very toxic place, and if you are constantly being like that live on TV, you make it only worse instead of trying to make it better. You keep disrespecting me, and at one point, I'm not tolerating it anymore. That's why I decided to stop answering them."
Sky broadcast an interview with Verstappen following his record-breaking 14th victory of the season in Mexico on Sunday, but this was supplied by F1 itself, as it does to all broadcasters.
Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner explained that the team was "disappointed with a series of derogatory comments that have been made on Sky", prompting the decision to "take a break" this weekend.
"There needs to be balance in commentary," he said. "Some of the commentary is excellent, but some of the pieces, there's too much sensationalisation being done. We stand together as a team."
Horner said the decision was to register our discontent with some of the less impartial comments but that "service will be resumed" from the next race in Brazil.
"I think an accusation of championships being robbed is something that we don't feel is an impartial commentary," said Horner. "That is, we don't feel, in any way fair or balanced."
"Max was very upset about it, and as a team, we support him fully. We were equally upset about it. As a team, we took the decision this weekend, I took the decision that we'll have a weekend off."
Asked if he thought Red Bull got the same treatment as other teams from broadcasters, Horner replied: "I think Red Bull are a cheap target sometimes."
Even though we have seen the sport protect everyone from any kind of harassment, they haven't done so in some cases, most notably the current defending double champion.
