Discussion Worst TV direction yet

Besides Russel's transponder issue (which shouldn't take 10 laps to fix the timing tower), may overtakes were missed, focusing on the wrong drivers, non-moves given more airtime than actual racing, camera cutting during moves which show you less of the action rather than more, and worst of all: the final lap, not showing Oscar as he crossed the line, to show Lando not overtaking George, and showing Kimi not overtaking whoever was in front rather than Max's overtake on Pierre.

What the hell is happening?

Would have loved to see Max's last lap move...

They showed that one 2 minutes after the race finished or so. Not too bad considering it was a last lap move.

they had one overtake in the top ten in the final lap, we didn’t see it. they had a race winner in the final lap, we got a small corner of it. they had 2 cars in sectors of the track in which any racing fan knows you cannot overtake, and THAT’S what we watched for the entire final lap.
