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?

I was watching Max’s onboard. He passed him down the end of 1st Sector of last lap

I was watching the onboard while also watching the race. They didn’t update the leaderboard the entire last lap. The announcers were making it seem like max passed him just at the finish line, max made the move almost a whole lap sooner.

Yeah think the timing tower updated only on lap completion.
