Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
Agree with many points, and will add another: There seems to be a very frequent lack of awareness of important events unfolding. I remember these being highlighted and replayed extremely fast, now sometimes you wont see critical things until 10 laps later.
The gyro cam sucks. Its only saving grace is high FOV. But what is all the fake tilting about?
All they need to do is slightly increase the FOV of the T cam and shoulder cam (and yes stop zooming in the trackside cameras so much)
Agree 1000%. Preferably scrap the shoulder cam because 80% of the time it's almost completely blocked by halo anyway.
The new "gyro" cam is a bunch of crap. It's not a real gyro cam anyway, they only used the real gyro from motogp for a couple of trials and then got rid of it in favour of this abomination we have now. Apparently the real one couldn't cope with how violent f1 cars are, which is understandable, but instead of working on a solution they decided on just faking the whole thing. It's especially egregious on tracks which are known to be perfectly flat, yet the new "gyro" cam is tilting like it's completely drunk.
Helmet cam should be used sporadically as a gimmick, but they insist on using it half the time, just to make people vomit.
It's annoying becasue the 'shoulder cam' was in my opinion one of the better representations of the driver's view pre-halo:
Completely agree on the gyro cam and helmet cam. The gyro cam, on top of being unrealisitic and gimmicky, also made me feel motion sick when they had it on Norris'(?) car in Zandvoort.
Absolutely agree with the shoulder camera, they were amazing.
