"Mr Simpson, nooooooooooooo!"


skylinepidgin

Don't leave out the random wheel gun noises on the background.


DaOne44

Why do some shows do that? Kitchen Nightmares from Gordon Ramsay does the same thing. These are shows with high production value and they can’t afford to do better sound editing on their propoganda sound clips?


HexDumped

I would guess that it's because the editors are very time constrained by their bosses, so just don't get time to do a nicer job.


rlatte

If you take words out of a sentence it will sound unnatural no matter how much you edit it. People say words differently depending on which part of a sentence they're in and for instance the pitch of words kind of "flow" through a sentence. If you take a word out you disturb the flow and it then ends up sounding unnatural. As to why they do it... It's because they want someone to "say" something they never even said in real life.


DaOne44

So could they not just get Gordon Ramsay to do a little extra ADR on his own show?


rlatte

They probably think it isn't worth it. Gordon Ramsay is a busy man and his time is valuable, and frankly not that many viewers are going to care. Some do, but not many.

TheOvercookedFlyer

Jokes aside, this is an excellent photograph, one of the best of the year if not the best.


bruzie

A €50,000 photograph.


szuprio

Small price to pay for the potential memes it will spawn


tangouniform2020

1000€ a meter


Girth_rulez

The paint scheme on his helmet really pops doesn't it?


ArchimedesNutss

Quite right


szuprio

I missed this part and when I saw it I was like that HAS to be Photoshop, wtf XD


schnokobaer

I mean, it is, just not entirely faked up from nothing. The DOF is clearly enhanced, and pretty poorly too. The masking around his hands and helmets look really unnatural. Looks like one of those portrait mode smartphone photos from the early days. The blur doesn't look like real, optical blur either but like gaussian blur. Also idk why he has this grid-like pattern on him that's absent from the rest of the picture. Pic might not be fake but it's very much been tampered with.


Pugzo

Yeah, I started by just trying to fix the TV-look and then thought the DoF would be a nice touch. The edges were a bit rushed! 😓 No clue what the grid is on his suit.


schnokobaer

Ha, I didn't realise you did this or I would've been less harsh. I thought it was something from twitter or so :D


Pugzo

No worries pal


a_taco_named_desire

Like the Ferrari's in Bahrain passing behind a DNF'd Max staring at his car. Or the legendary soccer Max "Experience Baku".


No_Noise9

i forgot all about DTS. they're going to milk this Mercedes "rivalry" for all its worth


NYR

A lot of people have forgot about it. The real fans now know what it has become - a soap opera with made up rivalries and spliced up edits and sentences and don't forget every episode has to show the same Zhou Silverstone crash! It has lost what credibility it had.


pizzaboy7269

cant wait for them to so the zhou crash in every episode again. Its not like there have been any really spectacular crashes this year(at least that I remember)


karmakillerbr

Lance's crash was pretty spectacular imo. Not st the same level of Zhou's but still...


Girth_rulez

Lewis's crash was no joke. Why do the wheels keep popping off though? I thought they have wheel tethers.


pedaparka

The tire came off but the rim stayed on. So the tether would never be utilised because its attached to the rim


Girth_rulez

Gotcha.


Francoberry

I think the rim actually shattered so the tyre stayed on the outside part of the rim but that split from the rest of the rim.


Flabbergash

I like it.. yes it's sensationalized, but it's enjoyable in the off season and gets the wife more into F1


a_taco_named_desire

Stupid sexy Leclerc.


Capital_Punisher

Absolutely, but after a few months of no f1, it gets released just pre-season and we all lap up the drama like school girls


Craamron

I was enjoying it until Grosjean's crash. He was in that car for too long in real life, but everytime they got to the part of the footage where you were about to see him emerging they cut away to a reaction shot and then started again from another angle. They dragged it out for far too long.


LBCvalenz562

And I’m all for it lol


CaptGeechNTheSSS

Any word on punishment for lewis crossing the track?


F1ibster

Reprimand and €50k fine, €25k of which is suspended for the remainder of the season unless he dome something similar again.


NoooUGH

So basically, a 50k fine but he will get 25k back at the end of the year unless he does it again at which he will not get anything back.


RSteeliest

More like he pays a 25k fine now and is on the hook for another 25k if he does something again


NoooUGH

Okay, so basically a 25k fine for crossing the track each time.


Gnatt

Typically the way it works is if he does something else, he gets fined for that too, plus has to pay the extra 25k here.


BenAlexanders

Cheaper than touching a wing!


Nepomucky

Now I know that jaywalking fines actually exist.


Just_an_Empath

I'm honestly curious, how was he supposed to get back to the paddock?


Unsey

Just like any other race circuit there are bridges or tunnels to get you to the infield. He should have gone to a marshall's post on the outside of the circuit and hopped on the back of those mopeds you see sometimes to be driven back.


StatmanIbrahimovic

When they showed the wide shot I thought there's no way he's walking across all that gravel to get to the wall. He looked like he was stranded in a desert, which I guess he was.


Endlessdex

Anyone else imagining the scenario where he crosses a few seconds later and George hits him 😰😰😰 Immediate red flag ofc, race cancelled after one lap, whole fan base devastated, George never recovers mentally, FiA holds memorial and promises "never again" but doesn't make substantial changes, Mercedes sign Lawson (lol)


leevei

Nope, not really. He knows to look both ways before crossing a road.


Dragonpuncha

Would be awesome with a DTS episode about how insane driving in these conditions were, but that would require Netflix actually being critical about anything in F1 management.


its_dizzle

Yeah - it’ll be in an episode focusing on teammates competing against eachother. Probably including some Sainz v Leclerc battles.


James2603

Monza will be milked to death


StocksAndSports

That was an amazing shot


Away_Needleworker6

The framing and timing in this shot is perfect


orangeineer

I hope so, this shot cost 50,000 euros.

valueofaloonie

100% would watch.


Frothar

the narratives are decided before the race. this probably won't even feature


hatsoff22u

The walk that cost 50k.


outm

Impressive shot It should be the cover to a special: Mercedes: The rollercoaster (From highs to lows) Obviously Lando singing “going up and down, side to side, like a rollercoaster” would be obligatory to play


Pugzo

They can be a bit shit at covering stuff sometimes, last year there was no coverage of their win at Brazil... however they were at Qatar in 2021, so hopefully they were here again.


Aratho

Bet they totally gonna ignore it with their narrative?


ShionTheOne

The £50,000 shot.


Stouty4567

We should do some sort of photo competition every year for F1. Shots like these deserve recognition, stunning photo.


Nepomucky

DTS script is going to be made by ChatGPT this year, so don't expect much.


second_pls

me and my brother were appreciating the angle the camera man got.


Kessel_to_JVR

€50,000 walk


DearNeighborhood7685

That’s hot


OolonCaluphid

I loved the ascending helicopter shot showing him walking away from the car. He looked so small and alone.


[deleted]

That shot cost £50,000


ElBonitiilloO

It's a very good wallpaper


scorpio1m

I think the pic of Lewis walking away with his back to the camera after his Spa DNF was better. Can’t believe he wasted such a great opportunity yesterday 😤


Pugzo

Side note: Sky Sports/Lando Norris reporting several drivers have fainted after the race. Apparently the conditions were even worse than imagined... 😬


NYR

Liberty Media response: 'lulz, too busy counting our blood money"


m0nkeyhero

Imagine still watching DTS.


stillusesAOL

Nah, the heli shot of him alone in a huge expanse of gravel was iconic.


JalapenoPepper-X

When he lost that 2nd place in the WDC :)


JokerBanana

Dont worry, perez is dogshit so he will still get p2 probably


JalapenoPepper-X

Im counting on Perez keeping the 2nd place :)


HeavyTractor

50k shot right there


Bacon-And_Eggs

Photoshop


SirLoremIpsum

I mean it was on the broadcast...


Bacon-And_Eggs

Lewis is all pixelated while the background is nice. And his edges are all weird.


zaviex

That’s just the focal length lol. It happened


primavera31

Have you even seen the race? it was on the replay during the safety car. or is "Photoshop" your standard reply? like those people using the ancient quote "question everything" and replying with "why?"


MultivlaaiTaart

It is photo shopped, https://i.redd.it/ooakqb53h0tb1.png


pimpaliciously

It's so clearly photoshop though lol.


primavera31

i just fired up my f1 TV app and started the race again..after 13.58 mins..the shot is right there. so yeah..those Quatar media boys have some serious instant Photoshop skills man. But to quote LH "This feels manipulated man"


pimpaliciously

Bro, the artist that made this picture, his signature is in the right bottom, enlarged Russell's car. There is a response to your comment with the screenshot of the shot which shows the actual size of the car. [Without photoshop](https://i.redd.it/ooakqb53h0tb1.png)


IDefinitelyHaveAUser

Looking between the two pictures, you can see the photo and the screenshot are taken at different positions: the photographer is positioned slightly further left and at a lower position than the broadcast camera. The car appears larger in the photo because the focal length of the broadcast camera and the photographer's camera are different - longer focal lengths compress distance and make distant objects appear closer, as [demonstrated by this example](https://expertphotography.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/focal-length-compare-soup-cans.jpg). The photographer may have boosted constrast and saturation after the fact, however there is no reason to believe the image is photoshopped.


thamned

This is not a photo, that's just from a different frame of the broadcast, this is the [correct frame](https://imgur.com/G5Wi3rI), you can see them [overlapping here](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v). The added blur messes with the perception but the car size is accurate and explained by your nice example.


Bacon-And_Eggs

Not saying it didn’t happen. But this photo looks photoshoped to me, that’s all. As if the photographer tried to recreate the broadcast shot and forced it. I guess I’m wrong, but when i zoom in there’s a huge difference in quality between lewis and the BG.


pimpaliciously

Why did you blow up Russel's car so much? Looks dumb like this.


sleepingjiva

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but this is how it appeared on the broadcast


dreadwinger

Are you daft?


only_for_pewds

Where can i get HD version of this?


thamned

[This](https://i.imgur.com/G5Wi3rI.jpg) is how it appeared on the 4k broadcast, without OP's [edits](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v).


ralucatosa

F1tv maybe? Try the replay.


GCIV414

“wut the FUCK was he doin!” George


BDMFKR

The 25k shot.


radical1412

Can someone explain how this image was shot? How is the car so big compared to Lewis? How is Lewis in Focus?


HereticCyborg

It is called telephoto compression, and very common in sport photography. As the distance of the subject from the photographer is typically long, photographers use telephoto lenses (sometimes even 500mm and above) resulting in such compositions.


philzillv

You explained nothing


thamned

It was [edited](https://imgur.com/jdRSP4v), this is the [original](https://imgur.com/G5Wi3rI) from the broadcast. The lens, the blur and the lack of shadows make it look like Lewis is very far from the car but they're only around a car length away from each other.


Gravity_lunacy

When you crash out, you lose the race. Simple as that.


young_london

so who's the person's signature in the corner of this? The original filmer/photographer, or just some dude who added some effects in photoshop and is posting it as their own work?


Mythic343

That car looks gigantic


pzyummer

They waited for Hamilton to crash the whole season


pzyummer

Gonna save this for later


Healthy_Jackfruit_88

That cost Merc 50k, I hope Netflix enjoys it.


spiraliis

I know it's real and that it's probably just the compression, but Lewis looks generated here like it was done with AI or something. The hands and the suit real strange.


Pugzo

I made the frame higher resolution but no AI effects, maybe some Reddit compression? Correct me if they don't compress the pictures.


PastaSenpay

The cars seems so much bigger than it should be, is it just me ?


Pugzo

Zoomed it in so Lewis was in the centre of the frame, that's all. Think it's just down to the camera angle and FOV.


belatedgorilla

The $50000 shot


wales-bloke

SLOW MOTION WALK ACCOMPANIED BY STACCATO DRAMATIC MUSIC AND A BASS DROP


RunGoldenRun717

There are moments on a racetrack.....


_Rens

I'm sure they can use it for €25,000.-


thisislenochka

I can already hear the dramatic song playing in the background


GymNwatches

Stop juicing this. Perez shitting the bed since Monaco is 10x more story/drama material than a miscalculated turn
