Such is the situation, power ratio in the royal class of motorsport, which currently rules, which does not mean that they are fights in the middle of the field less interesting and tense. Quite the opposite. V Singapore so Romain Grosjean, Daniel Ricciardo in Lance stroll staged a hot and tense dance for eleventh place. The problem, however, was that television did not show this at all. "The biggest show is in the middle of the field,”He says Sergio Perez from the team Racing Point. “I don’t understand why we are so rarely shown on television. So the whole field would have to fight."

It angers too Carlosa Sainza. "That makes me very angry. Above all, it should annoy my team, because if our sponsors don’t see each other live on television, that’s certainly not good. Many midfielders have already complained about this. I'm not alone here,He said Sleep, who last talked about it with other racers as well. “We all agree that television does not show certain interesting duels. I look at it very critically, just like other midfielders. We are of the opinion that the fans do not get to see many interesting matches. We don’t see some in this form at the top."

This topic is also on the agenda GDPA, Formula 1 racers' association, but not quite at the top. “The issue of television has already been mentioned. But the GPDA has more important work to do at the moment, especially in terms of 2021, where topics are important."
