F1 is always pushing the boundaries of engineering and technology every year. At the Spanish Grand Prix, they have once again pushed the boundaries of innovation by introducing the drone cam to capture cars. The sport was praised for introducing a revolutionary helmet cam last season. They thought the new drone cam might garner the same positive responses as the helmet cam, but the results are a bit different.

F1 fans took to Twitter to share their disgust over the drone cam that follows the cars in the final sector at Barcelona. They really don’t like the new way of depicting visuals.

Before this race, the F1 teams often used the drone cams for their filming days ahead of the upcoming season. But it is interesting to see the hate for the drone cam, which may see it removed from the races from here on.

He did not have the easiest of qualifying sessions as he spun in his first Q3 run before notching the pole in his second run. “It was a very, very difficult session, especially in Q3, because I did a mistake in the first run of Q3, and then obviously I only had one lap, but it went extremely well,” said Charles.
