Carlos Sainz hits out at F1 broadcasters’ coverage of ‘celebrities and girlfriends’

Carlos Sainz hits out at F1 broadcasters’ coverage of ‘celebrities and girlfriends’

In his criticism of Formula One's live broadcast coverage, Carlos Sainz, the Williams driver, expressed concern over the excessive focus on drivers' girlfriends and celebrities, which he believes is overshadowing the on-track action and drama of the sport. Sainz's surge from the back of the field to a 10th-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix received little attention from the broadcasters, who he claims failed to show "any of the four or five overtakes" he had made during the race. The driver argues that Formula One is "going overboard" with its emphasis on the reactions of celebrities and girlfriends, rather than highlighting the true excitement and competition of the sport. Sainz's comments reflect a growing sentiment among fans and drivers that the coverage should prioritize the racing itself over the off-track personalities and sideshows.
