MODERATORS
I don't think that they tried to create drama for Hamilton / Ferrari. I think they try to create drama for all the drivers and teams by throwing shit at the wall and hoping it somehow makes The Product better.
For years they've been playing radios with no context specifically to make things seem more dramatic. It's lying, it erodes the truth, it affects how drivers are treated, it affects the narratives within the fan base, it's trash TV. But it's a lot easier than being responsible with how you present reality.
The one thing I'm missing from my F1TV sub is the driver cam with team radio. After the first lap I'd almost always rather listen to the teams than the commentators. Still can't decide if the commentary isn't very good or if my tastes are just too specific.
Watching an onboard with (almost entirely) calm radio is like watching Bob Ross paint... while going 200 mph.
Compared to that the normal broadcast is like an episode of MXC. I wouldn't say it's bad but it's definitely a different experience.
That's an interesting analogy lol. Pretty accurate too.
I started to dislike the Sky commentators, mostly David Croft and Karun Chandhok, and switched to the international feed. These days I think Alex Jacques is more of a sensationalist like Crofty and that feed isn't as enjoyable as it once was. The last couple seasons I've mostly watched the McLaren team feeds but using alternative streaming methods comes with some sacrifice.
