Things I've seen wrong with todays production:
- At about the half-way point, the sound went completely out of sync - particularly apparent during interviews. It returned after one of the ad-breaks though.
- The camera-work was largely rubbish. There seemed to be a massive disconnect between the director and those around the track. There was also way too much looking into blank spaces, way too much adjusting of camera settings while 'live', and on top of that a lot of the framing both inside and outside of pitlane was amateur - with peoples foreheads getting cut off in interviews, and others being out of focus.
- Starting the broadcast with a twenty minute 'highlights reel' of the first two rounds is odd enough - but for those highlights to only cover two out of the six races was bizarre and made it reek of 'filler'.
- As the coverage was delayed a week, you'd think they'd make the effort to chop-out some the pace-laps - but it appeared that they all remained there.
- It's great to see some steadicams there - but they really should be used for the post-race interviews, not just for the filler and puff pieces between races.
Really hope that the usual mob are back for the next round.
