      Carlos Sainz doesn't like the quality of Formula 1's television broadcasts. The Williams driver thinks the directors are going too far by paying too much attention to showing celebrities and drivers' girlfriends while there is intense racing happening on track.

      Carlos Sainz: "It's becoming a kind of trend that maybe worked once, when people were interested in watching our girlfriends and celebrities and seeing their reactions.

      I understand that after an overtake or a tense moment the TV crews can briefly show their reaction if they know that approach worked in the past. But they should do it with respect for the main events and always show the important moments of the race.

      Last weekend they didn't show four of my five overtakes closer to the finish. And they didn't show how on the final lap Fernando Alonso was closing in on Lewis Hamilton. They missed a lot of the action.

      Let them show different cutaways, but don't lose sight of the main thing. I think they're already going a bit too far showing stars and the drivers' girlfriends.

      Sometimes there are so many VIP guests in the paddock that you can't get through. You have to move around the paddock on a bike or scooter, because otherwise they won't let you pass."
