Nuked Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s Nuked here, ready to dive into the exhilarating world of Formula 1 and its latest gadgetry. Buckle up!
Formula 1 has introduced an exciting gyro camera, adding a cool twist to the Dutch Grand Prix coverage. This innovative camera system was mounted above the helmet of Lando Norris, the star of the weekend’s qualifiers at Circuit Zandvoort.
This clever piece of tech, which F1 has been tinkering with since 2022, is designed to showcase those thrilling banked turns at Zandvoort in all their glory. While they tested it at the same track last year, they couldn’t broadcast it. But this time, it made a splash!
Fans on social media were buzzing about the footage from Norris’ car. Many shared how it gave them a real sense of the banking and suggested it should be featured in every car. However, not everyone was on board—some felt it distorted speed perception and raised concerns about potential motion sickness.
Dino Leone, the mastermind behind F1’s onboard camera operations, shared that this gyro camera allows for quick tweaks to enhance or reduce its gyroscopic effects. It’s like having a remote control for your thrills!
The camera has already made appearances in several 2023 races, including Brazil and Japan, with plans for even more usage as the season progresses. What a time to be a fan of F1 technology!
Hope you enjoyed this tech-filled ride! Stay tuned for more updates from the fast lane!
