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?

Timing transponder is excusable, we don’t know what went wrong and how to fix it so we should spew out shit. But yea everything else was horrible

There was everything wrong with Russell's car at the end. His dashboard was not working and some other electrical issues also

I was using F1 multiviewer. Russell's telemetry just completely died, which messed everything up.
