So, yeah, it was amateur hour. I tuned in and and knew exactly what had happened. I think they had the generic world field camera rotation and not the Sky feed. It was the most disorganized mess that I can personally remember seeing with a larger network in... forever.
Even then, I think once the Sky stuff started, the grid stuff seemed very rushed. Like they decided to do grid interviews at the very last minute and drivers had no time to talk. It all felt like something had gone wrong with both ESPN and the Sky coverage.
ESPN apparently apologized the the mess...
