Is this the usual standard of presentation, with adverts and commentary clashing, periods of radio silence, missed incidents, and pixilated on car camera footage.
What went wrong?
Also, appalling discipline in the pits, unsafe releases, fuel fires and cold tyres being fitted (so slowly) and tyres rolling across the pit lane.
I'm also seeing a lot of empty grandstands - has this formula lost a lot of popularity?
It certainly makes you appreciate the presentation and technology of f1, but can someone explain all this to me?

I had to look it up. Apparently, it was the Indy Car "Grand Prix" run on the Indianapolis road course, not the oval. With the exception of the Indy 500, Indy Car races are generally poorly attended. I don't know how that circuit stays in business.
