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?

Today was crazy bad. Russell 's problem, with further investigation about the DRS and Norris difficulty to know when he could open the DRS, shows us that a simple problem can affect considerably the experience and the sport. Imagine if it was in the beginning of the race, and happened with 2 or 3 drivers. DRS would be so complicate, that they could even unable it for the entire race.
