    As a spectator you don’t notice the difference between 355 and 365 kph anyway.

    Not through a screen at least, thanks to camera angles and cuts that prioritize sponsors’ legibility over quality views of great racing.

      Perpendicular tight stationary shots are needed in order to get a sense of speed. The narrow camera angles don’t provide enough coverage to show battles or even a whole corner. Think about car racing in the movies, the tight shots when a camera is following the action, they have to cut to the speedo or tac to provide a sense of speed.

      The adverts littering the track are a product of having to use wider shots to show the action.
