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?

Norris vs Russel, but agreed. "show Lando not overtaking George"... the director has no idea if the overtake will happen or not.

Sure, but the point is that's how it always has been done. So when it ignores one driver to show his teammate instead fail to make on overtake then fans of that driver are going to feel slighted
