Your pice on how f1 is broadcast was one of the most informative I’ve seen on the sport all year! I appreciate your hard work it took for you to bring it to us. This was a great follow up. Last weekend I was thinking about how slowly the camera operators make the cars look because of their skills at following the cars. This is a very timely informative piece for me!

Well. As an F1 Fan I really enjoy this “backstage” content. Great interview and i hope you keep this line and bring more content about what goes on in F1 besides the drivers and team principal. Because that’s all we see. Next you could bring staff from other departments and even staff from the teams. Like a Mechanic. We don’t really know what it is like being the jack man, or the gun man, marshals, Etc. But great content keep it up.
