What you see on TV (for F1, at least) is a generic world-feed. Dictated by the FIA. So while NBC is free to do audio for the broadcast, they are limited in what video they can show.
Tire rule: You get 6 sets of rubber for qualifying and the race. 3 of each set. FIA dictates which 2 compounds are to be available for the weekend. You must use at least one set of each tire compound during the race. However, if it rains then that's not necessary (because obviously it would be too dangerous to mandate using slicks in the wet).
Pirelli has made 6 different tire compounds for the entire season. There's a full wet rain tire. An intermediate wet tire. And then 4 different compounds of varying "hardness" of slicks. Of those 4 different slick compounds, Pirelli and the FIA will only bring 2 to each race weekend.
