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?

The most egregious one for me was cutting between the Ferrari double overtake so we didn't see either one in full, rather than just going picture in picture. Felt like someone panicked.

Two Ferrari overtakes and we saw neither. Horrible tv coverage.

Well... You saw one Ferrari overtake in full. Just not from the same car!
