F1 viewers slam TV directors for ignoring midfield battles
Original: Dear f1 tv directors: The back and forth, wheel to wheel, action for p11 and p12 is actually more interesting than p1 to
Formula 1 fans are criticising the sport's television directors for focusing coverage on the lead pack while ignoring close, wheel-to-wheel battles further down the field. One widely shared complaint argues that fights for positions like 11th and 12th are far more entertaining than cars running in a train from first to seventh, and calls on broadcasters to show more of the racing below the top ten.
Why now: Fans are frustrated that F1 broadcasts repeatedly miss exciting midfield overtaking in favour of the dominant leader.
Evidence
- Dear f1 tv directors: The back and forth, wheel to wheel, action for p11 and p12 is actually more interesting than p1 to p7 driving in a train. Cars passing each other >>>> cars driving in a line. There's SO much good racing happening sub p10 babes... let us SEE IT. # f1 · MsHearthWitch@wandering.shop · 1
