Yeeesh! The antipathy between Hamilton and Rosberg in the room prior to the podium appearance is almost palpable.

It was like they were in separate rooms.

I think the TV director should be sacked, many shots of empty track, shots where the camera is trying to get into position, missed action, leaders pit stops missed and you would have thought Hamilton wasn't there if it hadn't been for the BBC commentary, he may have been well out front but there were no shots of him at all for most of the race.

The empty track and focus shots were out of sorts. But I think you're just going to have to get used to not watching your driver when he is out in front by a hefty margin. This happened through the Vettel/Newey era when he'd just sail off into the distance leaving everyone else behind. You'd see him at the start then again when he crossed the finish line.

Too right, I'm not saying put the camera on the leader whatever, just occasionally would be nice.

Have there yet been any post-race interview with Alonso in regards to his frustration over radio?

Edit: nvm, check it http://www.nbcsports.com/video/ferna...el-embarrassed

Still think Alonso is overall one of the greatest if not the greatest driver on the grid. Hope things come through for him and for the team next season, if he even remains with Mclaren.

Agreed. We don't want to return to the days of watching the leader driving around all race like when Schumacher was winning, but just a quick check in would be nice.
