Overview

• Following the Singapore Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz said coverage "goes overboard" on celebrities and partners, noting four or five of his late overtakes and Fernando Alonso’s chase of Lewis Hamilton were not shown.
• The world feed repeatedly cut to garage shots of partners including Rebecca Donaldson, Magui Corceiro and Alexandra Saint Mleux, as well as members of Lance Stroll’s family.
• Formula 1 responded that it provides the best possible race footage and aims to balance on‑track action with contextual moments featuring fans, guests and host locations.
• On‑track images are controlled by Formula One Management’s single world feed that broadcasters such as Sky Sports and ESPN relay during live sessions.
• Fans voiced frustration online over missed action, and Sainz also complained about paddock overcrowding by VIPs, with the upcoming United States Grand Prix viewed as a likely next test for production choices.
