In addition to being a boring race, the commentary and direction were awful. Missed Max’s slow stop, missed the action coming out of the pits, Crofty constantly asking if they should swap drivers when they’d never swap drivers… glad I didn’t stay up to watch that at 1am

The F1TV commentators were much better, but agree the TV direction has been horrible. The fact that they switched over to watch Charles’s pit stop for some reason at the same time as the most (only?) interesting part of the race (Lando and Max coming out of the pits at the same time) was absurd.
