      @davidedwards3361 5 лет назад +55

      Oh, it's not just F1 where producers film stupid stuff. One of my favorite 'artistic' moments was watching Riverdance, and having the camera's on the faces of the dancers...not their feet. Producers try to be so artistic and get their own publicity that the forget the thing they are filming. How often are we going to see 2 F1 cars battling around a corner and onto a straight, only to have the camera filming the crowd? Time producers learned their job.

    I think the "boring" race is mainly down to a very bad production today. Many midfield batlles, start scenes & tight boxen exits were not even shown on top of bad cuts & camera angles.
    We dindt got to see Perezs amazing start, Hulks problems, the fight for P7 etc. etc., instead we saw Vettel or Leclerc in no mans land!
    Fix that and we would have an exiting race.

      Problem with China is corner leading to that long straight. If that corner is some tight hairpin that DRS would be so powerful but like this place where they can open DRS should be earlier, just because of that long corner leading to that straight.My thoughts tho
