@@hueyrosayaga I got that clean 888

Isn't that faster than the RPM in the engines of the cars?

@@The1sert1 nope :) 15k rpm these days, down from 19k in the V8 era.

@@nanoamp they can spin at 15k but they’re limited at 12k due to fuel flow restrictions and fuel economy

The lens actually spins at 3000 rpm. The spinner costs $12,000

@@plewy why did he said 12000? any source for data sheet pls? how do they transfer the data to the ground station? what's the data rate? thanks

Amazing, this videos are really cool to watch liberty, especially when we don't have racing

Because good things are often underrated & move on forward from good, the underrating gets even worse.

Luke Robertson 1.8 million that’s still a lot

And let's be honest, Will Buxton is one of the best things to happen to F1 in years. I don't know how I lived without the Haas puns.

So true

Music is annoying though

Lennart used to do a lovely race too. 😩

@@GFSCN69 tbh they might at some point but this way might be more accurate and don't forget sometimes there is strong winds

Snowcone Guy Drones aren’t fast enough and would be difficult to coordinate. Remember that this is not the only aircraft in the airspace over the track. There is also a relay helicopter sitting above the track for the in-car vision and there is probably the need to keep the airspace clear for emergency services.

DirtyEagle Carlos Rehearsals. I have done this for cricket matches but we were doing a lot of it on the hoof and it’s amazing how many of those shots we did became staples. At least these guys match their cameras.

@@thethirdman225 tbh that's true

DirtyEagle Carlos Their comms set up is way better than ours. I guarantee you the camera op knows exactly when he’s on the live shot and when he isn’t. We didn’t have that luxury so we just had to wing it and hope for the best. It also depends on what the director is like. Some can be really good and others can be really difficult.

XD

HELI YOU WILL NOT GET THE DRINK I REPEAT, YOU WILL NOT GET THE DRINK. IM SORRY

@Tony The Guitarist You mean the Heli pilot? 😉

No the petrol not pilot or drink

*Crashes into Vettel in the lead, Hamilton wins the race with Bottas in second*

I’m 999 like

I sincerely hope that he does that this year too

Yes Men Yes Back THE OLD F1 !!!!!!!

RT Fav 😭😭

53 days!

F1 has been tedious the last few years

@@billybollox5216 ummm... Nope :D

Austin the Bosstin egg inc huh

Awesome work

Meme will never get old

hahahahahhaha top comment 😂

Apoptosis.Pending I mean it got old pretty quick...

Bottas: copy james kamikazes into pit lane

So... Lewis is faster than you... do you confirm you understood the message?

Hi Seniac!!!

I forgot about this guy

didn't they do that for the vettel crash?

@@saiintFPS yes, but not in live on TV

How about they try and make a whole race version of it

Meanwhile I just wish I could watch the race on the paddock, or even on a trackside tent but not on TV 😂

You CAN see the race like this. That’s what the camera is for :)

With F1TV allowing car cams, it's just a step further to have a continuous heli feed. I hope Liberty is thinking of this.

I hope you don't get airsick.

But a few years ago there was more than only one heli...and the shoots were better in my opinion

Because there is a heli?

pocholo99 There’s at least one or two medical helicopter.

@@bfapple i know but I meaned tv helicopters

Cycling (tour de france) has 4 or more helicopters.

That has always fascinated me. Not only is the pilots control incredible they also have to do it in such a way that the wash from the heli doesn't effect the aero of the cars they are filming. Really cool stuff.

Sam M would the wash affect it that much?

@@charleyatkins9094 i dont remember when it happend but there actually were some complains at one venue where the heli messed with the aero accidently

we will never have f1 in malaysia😢😢

India too

but i still dont want vietnam gp.two race in south east asia is just to much i want country from africa to event f1.

Dont worry, Sepang will make a comeback. Just like Canadian gp and Austrian gp. Its just need to take time... but it will happen :)

I miss sepang malaysia 😢

Soon. 👀

@@Formula1 Please tell me it's the same music

ME TOO...! I miss all three of the commentators that used to call the action. Especially David Hobbs..!

I don't.

One flies, one shoots.

No, besides drones that might come close to what this heli can do are crewed by 2-3 people and cost a fortune

@@blastaq4267 I think it's time for some crazy FPV shots for F1 :)

@@solidball9314 hahaha nooo mate. Im talking about the DJI matrice boys. And beyond that

Drones can’t go anywhere as fast as the helicopter and even the helicopter struggles to keep up sometimes

@@Kj_Gamer2614 lol stupidest comment ever... A drone can easily do this job

You are %100 right! :)

Was it a good track?

@@ToddEGameZ I personally didn't like Jacarepagua. It was a fast circuit, sure, but too flat for my taste.

This is a late reply, but they put up TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) around major events. They are usually a radius in nautical miles and capped at a certain altitude. They are during a certain time range, as well. ATC is well-aware of these and coordination goes into the planning. For example for the Indy 500 this weekend, there is a 7nm TFR from the surface to 10,000' from 0900-1800. Hope this helps! (I'm a former ATC and currently a military pilot).

Hi dude

Opa!

Kermisreporter their engineers should work out how much fuel the helicopter will consume during the race. Landing to refuel is against the rules now.

the race is about 2 hrs long, not a big deal for a heli

I think mid race refueling is banned now, plus the whole race is just two hours long, not hard for heli at all.

the heli doesn't fly that high..........

Harry Wang restricted airspace goes to the ground. Next time a race is on you should check. The operator and EMS ships would have an exclusion.

@@mountjoy23 So is it restricted?

@@aryan.21. Depends on the regulations for the country the race is in. Most likely it would be in all countries.

@@mountjoy23 Okay thanks for the info!

Drones fly not long

Jakarta Hobby Yeah but you could buy like 20 or 30 drones and have a group of people to fly them so there would always be enough drones in the air and in many different spots

@@nicob194 Yeah, that sounds very easy and cheap :P

Benny Lloyd-Willner Way cheaper than the helicopter that probably costs a few million

@@nicob194 I'm not sure it's cheaper. It's not the cost of the drones I think of. It's the peoples salaries and the cost of managing multiple flying objects in a relatively narrow area. It would be a massive effort to keep it safe, requiring extra safety personnel and extra safety regulations to make it happen. Rental of a chopper is not that bad compared to that. This is my own thoughts and until I see a proper calculation of the two scenarios I'll stick with it.

Can't be done.
