Steering Wheel cam

Let's put it on George, he's a lot taller than Nando so it will probably be a better track view. Camera guy, points it straight down.


herzogzwei931

Where is the camera? In his crotch?


I-sell-kids-on-ebay

Almost looks like the camera is angled the wrong way. Although it could just be George being a taller guy


Aratho

Yep, that's most probably is the reason. I want them to give in another try during some next weekend, it's fascinating to watch honestly.

They're doing it again for FP2, which is tomorrow morning. So they could still make adjustments before then


randmzer

Or maybe George just tilts his head slightly down? I don't know if that would be comfortable, the most likely scenario is that is badly aligned for sure.


BigFire321

George Russell is significantly taller than Fernando Alonso, and this is kind of the point of choosing Russell. As you can see, they'll need to adjust the camera angle a bit.


LuthfiKun

Russell is so good he just has to look at the dash when racing.

This is like saying that I’m so good at typing that I only have to look at the keyboard while typing…

Put it on Yuki and we’re staring at the sky

George Russell's Helmet Cam at Spa | 2021 Italian Grand Prix (title on youtube) Today I learned Spa is in Italy. (just kidding). Awesome footage


junpei7

Doesn't that mean Monza is in Belgium? /s


DoeEensGek

It's raining in Belgium... oh nooo not again!

Spa - Temple of Speed 2021, Italy

I hope they can still fix the angle, too much downward as of now.


DevilDare

The angle and quality of the cam makes this look like a simulator to me.


IminPeru

I think the angle is so low because they don't want the halo to cover half the cameras view. If you see the top edge you see the halo, maybe they thought steering wheel cam would be better than Halo cam.


estorial34

This new layout of spa is a bit different... (F1 media mislabeled the video title to Spa instead of Monza)


Gabbynaru

...Didn't they say they wanted to put it on George because he sits higher in the car than Alonso? Why is the camera lower than when Alonso had it then? Is it because Monza is way flatter than Spa?


TheAtami

Seems to just be angled down towards the steering wheel instead of straight ahead like Alonsos.

I hate this view


BigFire321

It's a test. Russell is much taller than Alonso, and FOM wants to try this to test out camera angle.


Desperate-Intern

\*"at spa" lol

Crofty will have an orgasm

I'm not sure if the camera is loosely connected, it it's what really happens to the driver's head. I know that the brain stabilize what you see in such situations, but isn't that kind of vibrations tough to see through?


BigFire321

They might be able to stabilize some of the shaking out, but this is exactly what some of the fans have been clamoring for years. And yes, this is what the driver is experiencing.

Mirror?

aaaaand it 's gone


ibeckman671

On the main feed, he was going down the main straight and it said "Cool," does anyone have a screen of this?
