No camera angle has got as close to giving fans a true feeling of what it is like inside the F1 cockpit than Driver’s Eye. 🎥 LukeSmithF1 explains how this innovation has become an F1 TV gamechanger. ⬇️
duelled for a series of laps for the lead. The F1 TV directors were able to switch to the Driver’s Eye camera in Leclerc’s helmet throughout the scrap, giving some incredible insight into how a race-winning overtake is executed from the cockpit.
"We didn’t start from: ‘We need to have a camera with the best image’ - we started from safety requirements,” Haristos explains. “We worked backwards on this. That was the challenging bit, because we found the right position next to the driver’s eye, on the liner that is the protective padding. The camera has to be smaller than the size of the liner when it bottoms out, so the face of the driver doesn’t get in touch with the camera.
But there wasn’t the immediate clamour from F1 to get the technology into its coverage, prompting Haristos and his partners to talk to Formula E, who he says were “very receptive.” It proved to be the perfect development ground for Driver’s Eye, even if concerns from teams about broadcasting the footage on the steering wheel dashboards meant some elements had to be blurred out.
Driver’s Eye soon escalated to become an important part of F1’s TV offering as part of a fully customised project for the series. All drivers using Bell helmets - Bell being part of the Racing Force Group - had the cameras fitted last year, while refinements were made with the positioning of the camera to offer an improved angle and improved stabilisation, albeit without losing the rawness that makes the footage so authentic and close to what the drivers experience.
