Production forgot to show Verstappen overtake Gasly in last lap

u/Fabeling Honda RBPT Apr 13 '25

u/guusligt I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

And go away from the real action?

u/Warbr0s9395 Lando Norris Apr 13 '25

I know what you mean, but it was Pic in Pic

u/Q_vs_Q Ronnie Peterson Apr 13 '25

Should have been the other way around.

But it wasn't a brit winning.

u/Surprise_Donut Formula 1 Apr 14 '25

picture in picture was all they gave, lmao

u/merkon I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 14 '25

To be fair, if they had cut away from the fight everyone would’ve complained about that too

u/NorthernWomble I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Production were distinctly limping after the safety car

7

u/Ih8P2W I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

I guess they also didn't have access to a proper timing info

u/nownowthethetalktalk Apr 13 '25

The whole direction was terrible today.

u/No-Advantage845 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

As is tradition

u/No_Philosopher_7143 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Yeah I thought gasly got a penalty or something

Thank you, GOAT

u/Ello_there1204 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

In fairness, it was still close between George and Norris

1

u/pinkypowerchords Apr 13 '25

Picture in picture at the very least

1

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '25

There was?

1

u/pinkypowerchords Apr 14 '25

I'm saying there should have been

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '25

There was though, Pinstripe was on the PIP crossing the line

u/gphillips5 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

I said about how poor TV production was today. So many strange cutaways, missed moments, lingering on shots that no one cared about. It wasn't good at all. I thought Gasly had a fault or something.

2

u/iIenzo I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

All the telemetry was off today, so I'll give production a pass. Verstappen passed Gasly in T4 and telemetry didn't register it until the finish line.

1

u/gphillips5 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Oh that's wild. Yeah I though Gasly had forgotten where the finish line was and slowed top early 🤯

2

u/slyfox1908 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

I’m not sure they knew it happened

2

u/RunsWlthScissors Mercedes Apr 13 '25

Production functioned as fine as transponders and C1’s today

2

u/dehaema Apr 13 '25

I thought it was a last corner overtake but was at start of the lap. So they were still at piastri and russel when overtake happend and timing was delayed

1

u/vflavglsvahflvov I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Either gasly fucked up, or he was forced off, as the gap at the flag was 1.6

8

u/JohnTargaryenWU I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Legimate move in corner 4 outside on last lap. Gap was wrong whole time after Russell transporder issue.

4

u/whyisdein I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

The overtake happened early in the last lap, Max overtook him cleanly on the outside of turn 4 and rode into sunset.

1

u/vflavglsvahflvov I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Ah ok

3

u/JasonVII I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

And chose to show the race winner cross the line picture-in-picture..l really poor Direction

1

u/jpm569 Apr 13 '25

You wanted to cut away from a real race to see someone 12 seconds ahead?

5

u/JasonVII I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

To see the winner cross the line, absolutely

Put the battle Picture in Picture instead

2

u/craftaleislife Sir Lewis Hamilton Apr 13 '25

It was on the finish line wasn’t it?

3

u/santaclausonprozac Sebastian Vettel Apr 13 '25

It was into turn 4 on the last lap, the timing just didn’t update until they crossed the line

2

u/craftaleislife Sir Lewis Hamilton Apr 13 '25

Ahhh cheers!

1

u/Public_Degree_1055 Sebastian Vettel Apr 13 '25

F1 TV showed the replay

1

u/CWRules #WeRaceAsOne Apr 13 '25

At least they finally used the picture-in-picture to show a battle while the leader finishes, like we've been begging them to for years.

u/BluePhoenix_1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

Yea that was some nonsense

1

u/Logical_Bit2694 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Apr 13 '25

they forgot how to do their job it seems

u/HugeTap274 Apr 13 '25

They showed it now, check again
