24: Should F1 Add Fake Crowd Noise To TV Broadcast?

Inside Line F1 Podcast

Football has had fake fans and fake crowd noise in their TV-only formats. Should Formula 1 follow suit? Does Formula 1 actually need crowd noise in their broadcast? In fact, do you distinctly hear crowd noise while watching the sport on TV? We discuss the considerations that might go into making a decision on whether or not to add fake crowd noise to Formula 1's TV broadcast.

Also in this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we discuss the impact of Andy Cowell's departure from Mercedes, Daniel Ricciardo's positioning in Formula 1 and why it's necessary for his career and how there's a limited sale in Formula 1 and most of us might not be invited. Did you know that Red Bull Racing are on the same path as Williams and Mclaren have been since their inception? Finally, will face masks sport sponsor logos once we resume racing in Austria? Tune in!
