Yeah, Calado has been driving very fast and consistent lately, and the rest of the team is doing a mighty fine job too.
They were definitely talking about fuel and I think they were asking if they needed to stop again, which it sounded like they do.
What was Keating thinking peeling out of the pits like that?
We could have a race to the finish with the two toyotas. That sensor issue has thrown the #7 Toyota.

Lopez is an amazing driver, not that the rest of his crew isn't top-notch but he may be the best person to pull this off.

I still don't get why they still do this. It adds nothing to the coverage.
This studio segment is okay every once in a while (not every 2 hours), but what was the issue with doing like other years? Continuing the race on Eurosport 2 while they're busy talking on the main channel? Now it's unskippable unless you subscribe to the Player, which is an absurd proposition to begin with because I pay to be able to watch Eurosport to begin with.
It's cool for casuals or people who only joined sometime during the last hour or so, it's a solid recap of what happened and what is happening. But why can't they do a split-screen coverage is beyond me.
Nakajima was asking whether he needed to go faster or keep the same pace. But in return they told him they don't know at this time and are discussing it at the moment.

Not really sure why Eurosport 2 hasn't been utilised during the 24 hours. Maybe something to do with their claim of 24 hour wall-to-wall coverage.
Which was overall like 18 hours or less probably considering they easily had 10-15 minutes of ads every hour and the studio segments.
#30 Alpine is crabbing really badly out there.
EDIT: What's going on here? #8 just lost 5 seconds to the #7 on the official time sheet for the previous lap.

It is much better coverage than it used to be, I remember when at night they only had the trackside CCTV and in-car cameras for live video footage and the commentators had to do their best as the show was running all night but there were no camera-people on the proper cameras, I mean it wasn't that long ago either.
Absolutely, had a post about that myself earlier. Nighttime racing the past years was abysmal, you could not understand anything of what was happening. It was a lot better now, but there's still a lot of things the FIA and Eurosport need to figure out. Namely:
- better director, as he missed out on a lot of live action and only came up with replays really late
- showing more and better information on strategies, points situations, lap averages, etc. during the race, because only the commentators provide context
- introduce split-screen coverage if they really gotta have so many ads and studio segments
- talking about ads, we probably lost like an hour due to Eurosport playing their top 5 dances and shit like that - like, seriously?
Hard to see the #7 go an hour or so without a pit stop however, especially at this pace. Chances are he'll stop again.
