How MotoGP inspired F1’s latest TV innovation
The F1 world feed team constantly looks for new camera angles to entertain fans, and their latest addition, the gyro camera, was inspired by MotoGP. This camera, first tested on Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari in Zandvoort last year and later on Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes in Japan, keeps the horizon stable and provides a clear perspective of the car’s angle in banked or cambered corners. The gyro camera technology originated from MotoGP, where similar cameras compensate for riders’ leaning into corners. The aim is to introduce something new and exciting, offering a different viewpoint and perspective for viewers. The gyro camera, developed in collaboration with MotoGP, moves electronically rather than physically and stays static during the car’s movement on the track. Despite some initial issues, the camera’s debut in Japan received positive feedback and generated a buzz on social media. Opinions on the camera’s introduction are divided among paddock insiders.
