2022 Miami GP Race Review | WTF1 Podcast

There was a lot of hype but Miami didn't provide the greatest on-track action. However the race weekend gave us plenty of talking points (and rants) from another Verstappen and Leclerc battle to more woeful TV direction. Join us for another race review podcast.

[@contendedracer5861]

The fact that this race had the 2nd most overtakes of any race this season shows how bad the TV direction was considering we only saw what felt like 5-6. I think we would have enjoyed the race a lot more if we saw more of the midfield battles.

[@matthewd6306]

Half of those "overtakes" weren't overtakes. Gasly, Vettel, MSC, Zhou, etc.. Falling back after contact and mechanical issues made up more than half of the "overtakes".

[@kuyt20]

@@matthewd6306 Yep. 'Overtakes' in and of itself does not make a race exciting. Its the back and forth battle that does. For example, Verstappen's overtake at the front was so straightforward and easy that it did nothing for the race, other than act as a padding for the generic overtake stat.

[@hisham_hm]

We literally watched Russell and Hamilton switching places near the end of the race as names switching in the sidebar graphic alone. We were shouting "what!?" at the TV as it kept going RUS HAM, then HAM RUS, then RUS HAM again

[@johanna6648]

@@hisham_hm As a Vettel fan, I think all I did the whole race was staring at the time bar graphic. Especially in the end, when the super close battle for the points was going on and we didn't really see any of it live. It was absolutely frustrating.

[@RCRitterFPV]

but those were not overtakes on track, pretty sure. and if they were it was because someone went off line and got passed by 5 people in the train.

[@MademoiselleNettie]

The race was not really that dull - apparently during the Miami GP we've had 45 OVERTAKES. If that's true, it only shows how horrible the TV direction was...

[@mordor1779]

Yeah they didn't even show live the Russell vs Hamilton battle, even when Versrappen had 1.5s on Leclerc and had clearly won

[@HikrisDopl]

I thought it was 54? They only showed 26 on live television though. I don’t understand that

[@rico-batsb2491]

The tv broacast miss a lot. I remember back in 2015 when i was at the Belgian GP i was watching at Pouhon. Carlos Sainz lost the car big time! He didn't crash he just slide Back at home when i rewatched the race it wasn't broadcasted at all. Not even a replay!

[@soundscape26]

For those who complain the broadcast often doesn't show the front of the race even when nothing is about to happen there you go... too much Max with Leclerc at a distance and a lot of midfield battles missed. It took ages to show the Vettel/Schumacher crash for instance. The race was not that dull, the TV direction made it look so.

[@kristoph7606]

This figure has to be including passes made while drivers were pitting and crashed out. If that is on track passing, I agree, the tv directors fudged up. But I don't think so.

[@alexherman77]

To match the glitz and glamour of Monaco, they even hired the Monaco TV director! Incredible effort from F1!

[@allanfelix2613]

It's a broken record. I've been watching since 2002 and can think of a handful of seasons where I was genuinely happy with the state of F1 - 2006-2008, 2009 and 2012

[@ClayCaviness]

TV direction was to blame for the public perception that the race was poor. There was a whole pile of action in the midfield that the TV directors just ... didn't show. Really sold the whole thing short. Not suggesting this was the best race ever, but it seemed like it was an above-average race.

[@wingracer1614]

The midfield battle was INSANE and we saw almost none of it. Russel, Mick, KMag, Albon, Vettel, Stroll, Norris even Latifi were pulling of moves left and right. We saw a tenth of it.

[@ajk1312]

I was saying this yesterday. TV broadcast ruined the race more than a lack of action

[@beemrmem3]

When Checo got into DRS range of Carlos they didn’t show any of it until the last second. I was literally yelling at the TV. “F***king show Perez v Sainz!”

[@hisham_hm]

F1 needs a permanent broadcasting team. They carry an incredible number of people and material as part of the circus, they should just get an experienced directing crew to travel along.

[@zhen86]

They used to do that until only British drivers are being shown

[@hisham_hm]

@@zhen86 Just get the Brazilian crew that's been doing Interlagos for the past few decades, then - problem solved :)

[@nanskate]

Get multiple tv-directors, at each track. Why only one? Lets have some competition, we'll see what's more popular, and you can change the worst one. (We do this with multiple commentators already, why not with cuts and shots...) Get ALL camera footage in a big database for a LOT of people to make propper replays post race. Get multiple streams going at once (already possible to do with live onboards, I do Picture in picture or second screen w. Max / LeClerc). Add a replay-stream. (There already is a alternative, with Picture in Picture at F1 tv) Only have crowd shots: Picture in picture.

[@tomvsas]

I disagree with Leclerc and Verstappen racing a too politely. I'm very happy that there's no toxicity between the two. Fans keep saying that they want good and fair racing, but at the same time they want drama. Like, come on guys, make up your mind. If you want drama so badly, then why did the Abu Dhabu GP in 2021 get so much hate? Masi CREATED drama by making decisions outside the rulebook, and yet people are pissed. And when things are handled accordingly and things end wholesomely, people complain about it being too boring. Don't encourage the FIA to create drama for the sake view numbers, please. Just let the races develop naturally. However, I agree that the crowd shots were too much. Just cringe and pointless. But I'm happy to see the Max GOATstappen winning. The guy is a once-in-a-generation talent, and he really improved over the years to be an aggressive, and yet a clean driver.

[@wingracer1614]

Absolutely. Last year was a shit show. It's great that Max won it but that was not what I call great racing, it was mistake after mistake, dirty move after dirty move from both of them. This is more like Schumacher vs Hakkinen, intense, even, exciting and clean. We don't need more Schumacher vs Hill or Post vs Senna type moments.

[@rakalu9994]

I think the FIA and race directors should also be focused on aiding the racing as well though. For example, F1 was better off before VSC - which is so boring. Saftey car is sometimes a bit OTT but at least it usually makes for a thriller.

[@u2zero2u]

It seemed like half the race was replays, shots of teams in their garage and shots of fans. I'm glad I am not the only one that was frustrated although I may be the only one yelling things like "CMON" and " SHOW THE DAMN RACE" at the screen but I imagine a lot of people were like that also.

[@Scirzo]

Yep! Me as well! Shouting out loud in frustration.

[@rybuds47]

Oh hell ya haha

[@fallenshallrise]

Imagine someone doing a breakdown. I'd love to see that pie chart where 1/3 of the broadcast is actual real time, racing and the rest is crowd shots, celebs, replays, the same super slo-mo shot again, drone shots of someone driving down the pit lane and that shot where they pan away from the track to show some palm trees or something.

[@JustinSeara]

It’s because it’s not about the racing anymore. At least not for all these new poser American F1 fans only showing interest after watching Drive to Survive. They want to see the drama, the celebrities, and the “beautiful people”. It’s blatantly obvious. Its probably an unpopular opinion, but I wish F1 would stay out of the US

Agreed! She nailed it 💯

[@nanskate]

What? Are you being sarcastic? I would agree with her opinion if she was right about the facts she based that opinion on... But, she isn't... The company that received the payment from those SPA fans, is not the company that payed to make a fake marina in Miami... Why would you relate those two separate things. The company that did the (IMO dumb) maria did it for profit, and probably successfully so.... She said: "splash money around" But by WHO(not f1/fia), and WHY(to make PROFIT!), and IN WHAT DIRECTION (F1 made money in Miami, they did NOT lose it...). If you want a refund in case of rain, that's something you should have set up before it started raining. Complaining about it afterward seems like: "Lessons learned" Or "for future reference".

And he did very bad in 2018 at RB. Alex was in his rookie season, only had a few races of experience before RB seat and he did really well in his 2019 RB campaign. So... I'm expecting more brilliance from Albon tbh.

[@dusabhargava3813]

Great to see Tommy back - ya he vuelto baby😎. FACT: There's a 2-sec delay in Sky F1 and Disney+ Hotstar (India) commentary presented by Crofty and Brundle. Lap 9: Max's overtake on Charles - watch the Main Race (on Sky or any other platform) and Race Highlights (by F1 on KZbin) - it's easy to find the delay. It's frustrating, to be honest😅.

[@SchrodingersCat8813]

Tommy may be savage, but he's laying down some truth. Mick really IS performing poorly, and perhaps Mazepin being so bad, and a meme, saved him a bit last year. Yes, Mick is young and yes Kevin is experienced but the guy did miss all 2022 car development and basically all off season, steps in, and from day 1 has thoroughly beat Mick and Tommo has a good point, he wasn't even in full race shape! It's not a good look, and didn't Mick have the most crashes (or at least most damage caused from crashes) last year? Again, he's young absolutely I'll give him time, I wanna see him around. But end of year if there isn't progress we gotta start questioning. And he has a benchmark now in Kevin, not saying he needs to match him but we can see how far off he remains still, the better car and esp better teammate puts a ton of pressure on Mick.

[@mikedamico3176]

I think it's worth considering that Mick also doesn't have much wheel to wheel racing experience in F1. Besides his teammate he really hasn't had to make any overtakes and I'm sure it'll take some time to adjust to that. I don't think with a last name like Schumacher, he will be going anywhere any time soon, just hope he picks it up quick!

I have been to Mexico twice ones in 2015 and 2018. But when I saw the GA campus pass I said you know what I am down. Which I did. I only went on Sunday but it’s better than something. I took my leclerc shirt and was going to take my vettel hat but forgot it at home. I was still going to buy merch at the track. I spent 210 in just two caps a Sainz one and a Lewis one. And spent a total of 35 on food! A stupid sandwich, a Pepsi, and 3 waters. Each water was 5 dollars. It was worth it and everything and I would do it again but at least lower the prices a bit.

...Thinking on it, as much as people say the race was "saved" by the safety car, it's a relatively low grip street circuit in absolutely brutal weather conditions. If anything the fact that there was only one safety car late in the race was possibly rather lower than what would normally be expected, likewise there weren't as many errors lower down the field as you'd expect.

[@lpollock7893]

So exactly how do you think Sainz was going to stay 2nd? He was boxed in by his own teammate so being more aggressive to try and keep Max back potentially would have taken his own teammate out.

[@mikedamico3176]

At the start, if he would've squeezed Max left more he likely would've kept him behind and wouldn't have had his teammate right in front of him, more so to the right/front of him. Possibly of course, you never know how it would play out.

F1TV broadcast is actually crazy good - they even have the helmet cameras - you can just choose the driver and see what they’re seeing

I made a point during the race that there had to be something wrong going on with the TV direction as I kept noticing positions changing frequently between drivers yet we saw virtually none of them. They really need to stop showing faces nobody knows and crowd transitions when they can't even get the racing consistent. The fact Miami GP had 45 overtakes tells you everything.

What I'm more interested in are Matt and Katy's predictions for the Eurovision final, this Saturday! 😉

Maybe the track would have rubbers in better with more support races. I was at Albert Park on the Saturday. There was so many support categories racing. Supercars F500 Porch, races Maybe Organisers forget how important supports are.
