The RB20 racing in the rain viewed from above looks even more beautiful

The rain was perfect. That is some awesome footage. Congratulations for creating the next generation of filming tech.

the chase drone footage is so good you can actually notice small twitches and corrections as Max reaches each curve (like 10:13), details you can't really appreciate with your normal dashcam or stationary rig. Like Max said, this could really change the way people view the sport. Also, that wake the car leaves behind is just mesmerizing.

This thing pulls ~2000+ watts for a whole lap with all of the electronics inside of a tiny tube. They did this without blowing up the ESC, and they kept a clean enough signal for a stable video feed + GPS rescue + clean enough gyro signal to be flyable / no de-syncs. And they hit those speeds with all the added weight of beefed up electronics, stripped down action cam, and a battery large enough to sustain that load??? Hopefully those that haven't flown FPV can appreciate the work that went into this drone (even the initial prototype)! Absolutely incredible job by everyone involved!
This is Formula 1 like you’ve never seen it before. The @dutchdronegods follow Max Verstappen’s brand new @redbullracing RB20 F1 car for a full lap of Silverstone’s Grand Prix Circuit. The world first uninterrupted FPV one shot was captured by a manually piloted custom built drone, designed specifically for the challenge of keeping up with the car at speeds of over 300kph.
It took Red Bull and the Dutch Drone Gods over a year to create a drone that can accelerate two times faster than an F1 car, reaching 300 km/h in just 4 seconds with a top speed of over 350 km/h. The development was accelerated by access to know-how and processes of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, a high-performance engineering arm of Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team.
