They should really do this to circuits with long pitlanes like Le Mans or Fuji. Seeing 20-30 seconds of the pitcrew waiting for the car to arrive is kinda weird... I like the way they did it with Spa or the Nürburgring, where you follow the car all the way.
These animations are cool and all. But i hate them. Your car dissapears into the shadow realm, and only appears again at the end. I miss the old style where you could see everyone entering the pits. And watch everything happen around you Just look at 4:31, you hear all the cars fly by. But you don't see any of them. I would love to see those cars fly by on the background
