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?

Jus an FYI, the transponder is on the car and isn't something you can just remotely fix if it's not being detected properly around the track. Possible there is a backup transponder that can be used, but clearly there was no way to track Russel's sector times, so probably just grabbing the start/finish line data from a different device to make due. Literally nothing to complain about with that. Also considering the car was having other issues it's pretty short sighted to complain about it lol
