World's Fastest Camera Drone Vs F1 Car (ft. Max Verstappen)

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 and trialled behind the RB8 and RB19 cars driven by @liamlawson30 and David Coulthard.

On top of seeing his wake, this gave amazing perspective to how water affects the drivers, you can see him starting to slip and catching himself which you can’t see from any other camera

[@andyalvarez2905]

Max you can tell is on the limit with the car and wet conditions. He did a supurb turn, as always, and not losing control of the car. You can tell a couple of times he had to regain control in certain turns. Showing that F1 drivers isn't anyone... The drone showed how these guys drive on the edge of disaster. LOVED THE VIDEO. Great job guys.

[@aeronothis5420]

Shots like these also give you a real sense to the skill of the drivers. On the wet lap you can see instances where the car loses traction ever so slightly resulting in a bit of a shimmy, the way that Max keeps it under control and maintains forward speed is awesome. Really shows that Max was trying to put in a good lap time and not just out for a relaxing lap.

It should be noted that at either of these points, any one of the people who watched that video would have crashed the car with near certainty.

[@mikes78]

@efallenJust look at how fast the correction took place, at absolute most it was still 0.8 of a second at most. For Max to correct it in that time, he was already correcting it in half that time, so around 0.4second at most. As you said, 99/9% of people would have instantly crashed it, and those that didn't would still be in for a wild ride.

honestly seeing an entire full lap from that perspective in the rain is absolutely amazing. You can really see what kind of difference it makes to the control of the car compared to the dry one. Also the water mist really highlights the aerodynamic features of the car. That's art right there.

The entire point was to see if the drone could keep up. They get the best car and the best driver but then the track is wet. Its a bit of an anticlimax. If you want the visualizer you can get this in another video, this was about going as fast as possible.
