Overview

• Aston Martin declined one-on-one interview requests from Sky Sports Germany at the Hungaroring, allowing only attendance at official press conferences and open media sessions.
• The move was prompted by perceived bias from Sky Germany pundits, especially Ralf Schumacher’s criticism of Lance Stroll’s expletive-laden radio outburst at Silverstone.
• Team owner Lawrence Stroll and drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll all rebuffed individual interview approaches from Sky Germany during the Hungarian GP weekend.
• The dispute coincided with a performance uptick, as Alonso secured fifth place and Stroll seventh, lifting the team to sixth in the constructors’ standings.
• Full resumption of individual interviews after the three-week summer break remains in doubt as Aston Martin seeks more balanced coverage.
