F1 is working with the Dutch Drone Gods that developed a camera system that took on Max Verstappen around Silverstone
F1 broadcast director Dean Locke has confirmed that Formula 1 is collaborating with the team behind the fastest drone camera in the world, which recently raced Max Verstappen around Silverstone. Drones are starting to play a role in F1’s presentation toward television audiences, but their usage is restricted due to the challenges posed by the high-speed environment of F1. Locke mentioned that the speed of F1 cars makes drone usage particularly difficult, especially with large crowds attending the events. Discussions are ongoing with the Dutch Drone Gods for potential collaborations at future F1 events, with a focus on enhancing the drones’ speed and maneuverability in accordance with F1 safety regulations. Signal strength and latency tests for drone control are also being conducted to ensure optimal performance in crowded race settings.
