Should F1 show celebrities and girlfriends during on-track sessions?

Does F1 need to change the way it conducts its television broadcasts?

Carlos Sainz recently voiced his annoyance over an emerging trend in F1, taking issue with how many celebrities and girlfriends are shown during a live broadcast.

The Williams driver outlined that his surge through the field on Sunday from the back of the grid to P10 was not shown, nor was Fernando Alonso's dramatic last-lap chase of Lewis Hamilton.

It has become increasingly common for cutaway shots to find celebrities or drivers' girlfriends watching on from the back of a team's garage - a theme that was present in Singapore.

But is it time F1 reduced the number of shots, or do you believe they have a place in F1?
