ASTON MARTIN have boycotted Sky Sports Germany following recent criticism.
The Formula 1 team had a good result at the Hungarian grand prix over the weekend with Fernando Alonso finishing fifth and Lance Stroll two places behind his team-mate.
But before the race Sky Sports were denied access to the team.
Ralf Schumacher attempted to speak to someone at Aston Martin but was rebuffed.
He said: “I know they’re not giving us any more interviews because they don’t like us that much at the moment.”
His colleague Peter Hardenacke added: “We were a bit too critical of the people at Aston Martin.”
Schumacher has been critical of the car this season and he called for Stroll to apologise for his antics at the British grand prix.
After struggling at Silverstone Stroll said over his radio: “This is the worst piece of s*** I’ve ever driven.”
According to German outlet Bild , Aston Martin also declined the interview as they believe Sky shows little interest in the team at other media events, such as press conferences.
They are now understood to be setting an example of Sky as interest grows in the team, due to more positive results from both Stroll and Fernando Alonso in recent weeks.
