That was brilliant. Fascinating. I thought I had an idea what it must be like, but I see I was wrong.

That looked like incredible fun. The director/whomever it was who made the decisions must have been more exhausted at the end of the race than any driver.

Thanks for posting.

Normal working day

Director sounds pretty chilled, although it sounds like there are two directors on that talkback (one cutting something else), which makes it sound muddled.

Cameras usually only listen to one director at a time, plus a PA and occasionally a producer or engineer will interject.
Someone has made a slightly odd audio track there.

There was an hilarious bit of released footage which showed a director running out of time on a satellite link. The expression in his voice was brilliant. Cant find it on YouTube.

Swedish GP of 1978?

On a similar vein, I was reminded of when ITV had the live contract. There was one race (Italy I think) that was changing all the time, a truly enthralling GP and one where there was no 'lull' in which to insert an ad-break but they had one more break to run. The race really opened up about two to three laps from the end when they cut to an ad break!!

Imola 2005, Schumacher's pursuit of Alonso. 3 laps from the end with Schumacher hassling Alonso at every turn ITV went to an ad break.... cue a million complaints on forums everywhere.
