A Formula 1 team has reportedly 'boycotted' Sky Sports Germany, with Ralf Schumacher explaining the situation during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

On Sunday, the Hungarian Grand Prix was won by McLaren star Lando Norris, who came home ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri and Mercedes star George Russell.

Meanwhile, Aston Martin enjoyed a stellar weekend as Fernando Alonso finished fifth, two places ahead of teammate Lance Stroll.

As a result, Alonso and Stroll sit 11th and 12th, respectively in the F1 standings.

However, prior to the race, it was revealed by Schumacher that the team had rebuffed Sky Sports Germany.

As reported by The Sun, Schumacher tried to speak to a member of the Aston Martin team but was rejected.

He said: "I know they’re not giving us any more interviews because they don’t like us that much at the moment."

The German's colleague, Peter Hardenacke, added: "We were a bit too critical of the people at Aston Martin."

It has been suggested that Schumacher was critical of Aston Martin's car this season and also slammed Stroll for his team radio during the British Grand Prix.

Stroll was heard saying: "This is the worst piece of s*** I've ever driven."

According to a report by German news outlet BILD, Aston Martin declined an interview as they believe 'Sky shows little interest in the team at other media events, such as press conferences'.

SPORTbible has contacted Aston Martin F1 Team for comment.

Speaking about the weekend and his fifth place finish, Alonso said: "Definitely very happy, P5 the best result of the year and the best result as a team, 16 points before the summer break it feels good.

"It was one of those weekends that everything feels right since Free Practice. A good Quali yesterday, good race, good execution, good tyre management. Nothing more we could ask."

F1 will return at the end of the month with the Dutch Grand Prix, which will take place at the Circuit Zandvoort.
