Just in regards to radio broadcasts etc, as was pointed out on the last page, what we see is from the World Feed (FOM) and Sky have no control over what when or what radio messages are broadcast. What Sky do have though is people listening to all the team radios, so they can relay information to Brundle/Crofty that might not be broadcast.


Case in point on the weekend when they broadcast the messages between HAM and the pitwall discussing swapping the cars over, the broadcast didnt show the first message where HAM was the one who suggested the idea, and instead made it look like Ferrari were asking him to move and he was being funny about it. Brundle made a passing comment (just before or as the messages were broadcast) that HAM had suggested a car swap, as he was given the information off air .


It was even to the point that Fred Vassuer had to ask FOM for a please explain:

I believe the same thing happened last weekend with the whole McLaren they are free to race/telling PIA to hold position etc. Normally the messages might be delayed by half a lap at most, but I think I saw someone went through all the transcripts and showed that the messages between PIA and McLaren were actually delayed by a lap or two which made it look like they waited for him to have his little mistake before telling him he was free to race.


Its nearly like FOM are trying to insert a little DTS drama into the live broadcast.....
