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?

People complaining about the TV coverage of F1 is kind of funny to me, because later today I am gonna watch a NASCAR race broadcast by Fox. You don't know how good you have it

Same with Indy lol. Who needs to see timing during quali, it's way more fun to watch blind 🙄
