Lazenby is a Johnny come lately supporter, only knows what he read on wikipedia about the sport. In Hungary this year he stayed Schumacher did four stops to win Hungary 98. He probBly read about Magny Cours 2004 at the same time as it and got mixed up. DiResta wants to return driving to the sport too much so avoids stepping on peoples toes. Don’t get me started on Herbert and Crofty.
I get your point and that aspect of the show frustrates me sometimes. I think they try to be too nice sometimes at the expense of frank journalism. But they also need access to teams to be able to have information to give us at race weekends. They try to have a balance between pissing off the teams and being frank about issues. And that is delicate and not easy. Was it 2017 that Arrivabene closed all access to sky all throughout that season because of something they said. So, there is a subtle currency between the teams and the media. Play nice to gain access.

I am sure there are many other things we can list.
