Video: Up close with F1's onboard cameras
🕑 Added 2025-08-06 15:00:14 +0000 UTCOnboard footage is probably the very best visual part of F1's television coverage - and the cameras behind it are incredible, highly developed pieces of technology.
Recently, our own Samarth Kanal got to see F1's broadcast command centre at Biggin Hill - and have this chat with Dino Leone, the head of F1's onboard camera operations.
Apart from Dino's fascinating explanation of the cameras and how that - and all the other data - is transmitted from the cars, look out for a relic of Zhou Guanyu's massive Silverstone shunt in 2022.

I’d love to know why F1 doesn’t used a centrally mounted T-Cam. I really dislike that it’s offset to the left slightly. Indycar manage it so would be good to understand the reasons for it.

Very cool to see how the sausage is made! Would be even cooler to hear how you pros digest the end product: I suppose I should get off the metaphor before it's too late 😬 hearing and seeing what you look for in onboards to analyze car performance would be absolutely fascinating!

This is a very cool glimpse at things we don’t usually see!

Samarth's camera skills as his finger keeps appearing in the bottom left corner 😂
