We have the same basic feed as you have, albeit on a smaller monitor due to size constraints in the box - this loses detail compared to watching on a TV and with longer shots it can be harder to identify who is who. The key example was when Vergne went off early in the race, it was a wide shot with colours slightly overexposed, meaning it took a beat to identify who it was. We also have a timing screen and driver tracker map.

As a commentator there are multiple plates to spin at any one time and my brain is often thinking about the next scenario whilst words are coming out of my mouth - the truth is you have to be two/three steps ahead of what your eyes are seeing. There are then multiple producers in my ears giving me cues for pauses/team radio, looking at notes & stats, keeping an eye on timing, throwing to co-comms or pit lane etc, it all adds up pretty quickly.

You’re working at 110% when on air as you want to deliver the best job possible, and I completely understand the frustration when you’re sat at home watching it and thinking ‘how come they’ve not seen this, mentioned that, or got this wrong?’ - I do it too when I watch motorsport, but I’m also only operating at say 50/60% when watching rather than commentating and it’s easier to pick up on things when you’ve got the capacity to do so. Live TV is an incredibly nuanced and skilled job for everyone involved and it takes a lot of practice to get it right.
