    It's mental how many camera feeds they have access too at any given moment, now I understand why sometimes we see a Stroll replay instead of an overtake on track.

      Last Sunday was crappy again. To suddenly switch away during the exciting battle between Alonso and Perez to the finish of Verstappen who was 8 seconds ahead of No. 2 Norris and who was again 20 seconds ahead of No. 3. So they show that boring finish, so that the viewers can’t watch the moment supreme had to miss more than 10 seconds of the fight between Alonso and Perez. Really crappy TV production👎

    Watching the race, you wonder sometimes how they can fluff stuff up. But then you get a look behind the scenes and now I'm impressed they manage to achieve a coherent broadcast at all! What a huge array of things to manage in real time and get constantly correct/optimised for a flowing broadcast.

After that year they renegotiated the contract and now is handled exclusively by F1 themselves. So that particular error/incident wasn't the fault of the F1 tv direction team.

    Great piece of content. I am a Vision Broadcast Engineer for NEP. It’s great to see how F1 has created their unique remote workflow and managed to pretty seamlessly introduce it during covid without many major issues. Knowing how intricate remote broadcasts can be: massive respect
    One thing I’d like to know, I did see some OCP’s in the video but my guess is that these were for the local studio camera’s. Am I correct in assuming that shading is done locally on track due to delay? I have done shading on a camera remotely in the Netherlands during the olympic games in China, but that was only for a flash interview. Can’t imagine you can shade a sports production with so many frames of delay
