The wheel to wheel racing is better than in the V10 era, and that’s what the regulations intend to do. What’s the point of being fast in a straight line when the actual racing is shit? As a spectator you don’t notice the difference between 355 and 365 kph anyway.
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.
I never understood that sole focus on top speed.

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

I was referring to the sponsor logos on the cars but yeah
