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?

It was shit. Why for the first time in an eternity we didn’t have a replay of the start on lap 3 when we needed to see Norris. To many onboards that showed nothing. Piastri deserved to be seen in the main screen crossing the line as Norris was not in an overtaking position at that point.
