Naomi Schiff was present at the paddock in Baku last weekend to report on the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Sky Sports. The 28-year-old former racing driver faced criticism on social media for her analysis. Schiff was blamed for not being suitable to sit in during Grand Prix.

Schiff responded with three yawning emojis after learning of the criticism. In any case, the Belgian is supported by Lewis Hamilton. According to the seven-time world champion, Schiff's performance can actually be called positive.

"Naomi is an ex-professional racing driver & totally qualified to give her opinion as part of the Sky team. She’s been a great asset since joining & we should welcome more representative broadcasting with open arms. Still have a long way to go to change these attitudes in sport," Hamilton said on Twitter.
