Williams driver Carlos Sainz wants more focus on the drivers and their cars (Bradley Collyer\/PA)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Carlos Sainz feels broadcasts of races can \u201cgo overboard a little showing celebrities and girlfriends\u201d rather than important moments of a Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On-track footage is overseen from a singular world feed, which is supervised by Formula 1.<\/p>\n

Sainz\u2019s partner Rebecca Donaldson was pictured in the Williams garage during Sunday\u2019s Singapore Grand Prix, where the Spaniard had battled through the field to finish in 10th place.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old has become frustrated at what is \u201cbecoming a bit of a trend\u201d to show reactions from \u201cfamous people on TV\u201d rather than focusing on the drivers and their cars during \u201cimportant moments\u201d of the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast weekend they didn\u2019t show any of the four of five overtakes I did at the end \u2013 nor did they show Fernando\u2019s (Alonso) pursuit of Lewis (Hamilton), they missed a lot of things,\u201d Sainz told Spanish media outlet El Partidazo de COPE following the Singapore race.<\/p>\n

Sainz added: \u201cDon\u2019t lose sight of the main thing. For me, they go overboard a little showing the celebrities and girlfriends.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes there are so many VIPs in the paddock, you can\u2019t even walk. We move by bike or scooter (in the paddock) because if you don\u2019t, you just can\u2019t get around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
