“Fu*king Awful”: F1 Twitter Rages Over Bizarre Drone View at Spanish GP
Follow Us
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.
Opinion: The @F1 drone cam is f*cking awful. #SpanishGP #F1

Drone cam is what I imagine watching an F1 race would look like if I was picked up by a Great Eagle and flown over the circuit before they took me to their birds nest

Dear @F1 can you please ditch that drone cam and bring the helicopters back, cheers 👍🏁

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.
