F1 takes clear stance regarding Sainz' harsh complaints

Addressing the Williams driver’s comments, a Formula 1 spokesperson said: "We always focus on giving our fans the best possible footage of the race and never compromise the key focus - the racing on track."

Formula 1 emphasized its commitment to capturing all the key moments of the race while also showcasing elements beyond the pure on-track action — such as high-profile guests.

Speaking on El Partidazo de COPE, the Spaniard expressed some frustration over the international broadcast’s decision to focus on VIPs in the paddock while crucial on-track action was taking place — including his own charge through the field and Fernando Alonso closing in on a struggling Lewis Hamilton, who was battling severe brake issues.

All Key moments of the race that were completely overlooked, as Sainz was quick to point out: "It's becoming a bit of a trend, which must have worked for them once upon a time, when people found it interesting to see our girlfriends, to see famous people on TV, the reactions."
