    As written here before, one of the biggest issues with WRC+ crew (as with the whole motorsport media industry) is that they are mainly British. In itself it is not bad (uncounting exceptions like Colin Clark being too British), but like WRC+ crew they most of the time give comments either with deliberate or unintentional tone of voice and act the way that hypes and favours Meeke, Evans, Breen, Greensmith, etc and disfavours the non-English drivers. This is very annoying. Since Esperanto was not success, I assume English will dominate media also the next decades before Chinese, but yet Motorsport media should re-teach themselves to behave more objective towards drivers from different nationalities (and also remember that not everyone in the sport is fluent in English). This continuous favouring of English drivers is quite big issue, since effecting strongly to media, results will be seen in all media monitoring e.g. in companies that sponsor drivers and this favours then drivers only from UK, eventually reducing the chances from others and not giving them what they would deserve. The more WRC drivers we would have from multiple countries / continents the better it would be for the future of the WRC.
