The coverage was absolutely weird. I remember looking at the standings mid race and suddenly going “hold on, when did Hulkenberg drop out?” and when Alonso came back on track and retired again I was like “when did that happen?” And I didn’t even know about the absolutely shocking Colapinto almost driving into Lawson until after the race when I saw Russell react to it in the cooldown room. I’m 100% sure I missed some fights because the broadcast was too busy showing Merc and Ferrari and then Max and Lando.
