Crymilton 😢
Making a video out of nothing, it's mostly a show car with the new Mercedes livery on it, makes sense since this was a livery launch event.
Slater is a disaster. Can't listen to him.
Microslop is Mercedes new sponsor?
craig slater looks like a lost school boy
Looks garbage 🗑️… looks like a Adidas trainer
The rims on all those new cars are ugly.
Did Craig borrow his son's shirt?
Looks like a recycled design. Audi on the other hand looks fresh!
Slater is such an embarrasment, look at the absolute state of him? Talks gibberish, dresses like a Hobo and is deeply irritating…just get rid of him SKY! He does you NO credit.
Why are Sky still using Slater? It/he doesn't make sense.
Boring renders. Yawn. Still have Craig Slater. YAWN
Ferrari need to be concerned about Charles jumping ship if car is crap rather than Lewis lol
I don't think Sky reads our comments
If it’s genuine, why not just show us the car?
1:02 “pretty much” because Cadillac is the only team NOT using pushrod. 😮
For the love of god Who the heck is that Slater guy ? He talks total crap !
As Craig Slater was starting to take flight 🕊 the other geezer wanted to crack up 😂😂
Craig Slater – the most useless man in F1
Can someone explain to Craig please then he can try again
Craig does not have what it takes to make Sky Sport watchable again. It's clear he doesn't understand what is going on with the car. Sky you have all the money please hire someone who knows what they're talking about (aka an engineer or ex driver to talk) and and done their own research before they speak.
Is there not a engine budget this season.
If other manufacturers have missed a trick. It will be very difficult due to the engine cap for them to catch up this season no 🤔
Glad we are looking at something that will be nothing like what will be raced.
I'm no engineer but when a cylinder fires, the piston goes down, right?
Craig flailing like a drunk mime
craig slater = idiot
Craig Slater has been stealing a living reporting on F1 for way too long. The bloke is insufferable.
Craig is presenting worse than he did in 2025, please get him off the air!
I remember the days when presenters used to dress smartly on Sky Sports News!
Serious question. Is this guy drunk?
I came to watch video about Mercedes and suddenly I hear some fools talking about Hamilton 🤷🏼
Craig Slater pretends to know how internal combustion engine operates.
I know what Lewis needs to do, he needs to ditch Ferrari, go to Mercedes and be a third driver for a bit. Give back to the team that arguably made him who he is and open the door to driving for Mercedes again within the next few years. He seems like he needs a break and also he definitely has a lot to give when it comes to contributing in a way that Valterri has done recently. Make it happen Mercedes! 🎉🎉🎉
Craig Slater should start using Chat GPT
Microsoft doesn't deserve having its logo on that Mercedes or another team.
Sky News full of jokers at this point
Craig is flapping 🪽 and drinking again when he talks. Cheers sky 🍺
❤
Trade always sounds like he’s carrying a settee while he’s talking
“One of the title contenders cars” do they know something everyone else doesn’t
When the engine fires the piston shoots up ???????
This year is the year for Mercedes
The only job for Slater is bagging groceries at the check out aisle.
So they revealed a render?
Come on Mercedes Benz bring on
Seriously, what is wrong with Slater? Is he a quota hire? Surely Ted Crapitz ticks all those same boxes.
Craig Slater hasn't got a clue how a engine works what a joke
God i cant wait for this years racing
