A majority of F1 fans believe the sport’s television broadcasts need to feature fewer shots of celebrities and drivers’ girlfriends during on-track sessions.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Williams’ Carlos Sainz outlined his frustration over his lack of coverage after driving from the back of the grid to 10th place in Singapore.<\/p>\n
The broadcast also did not show Fernando Alonso’s last lap surge on Lewis Hamilton after the Spaniard reduced a 45-second gap to four-tenths when Hamilton was struck with a brake issue.<\/p>\n
Sainz highlighted a \u201ctrend\u201d from the F1 broadcast that has been present in recent years, which is to show celebrities and drivers’ girlfriends watching from the back of the garage.<\/p>\n
RacingNews365 asked you, the fans, if you believed the sport benefits from such shots.<\/p>\n
Over 60 per cent of fans responded that it takes away from the on-track action.<\/p>\n
However, over 22 per cent of voters declared the shots are fine, but require an adjustment in how many are used during race weekends.<\/p>\n
Finally, 17 per cent of fans believe F1 does not need to alter how it currently showcases the guests during on-track sessions.<\/p>\n
