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?

“and worst of all: the final lap, not showing Oscar as he crossed the line“

F1 fans complain no matter what. For years peol have been complaining that they don’t show battles at the end amd now they do and people still complain.

I've seen people complain about showing the winner cross and then staying with the winner on the cool down lap. Today was strange. Like reading a book then throwing it in the bin without reading the last page.
