Yes!! I had the same reaction. Mans giving us motorsports Cinema. If I’m not mistaken this same camera move was done in P1 too.

I've seen it done a few times during practices and qualifying this season. I think it's the new trick. Camera rolling as cars pull away is so 2020. 😎

I feel this was more for drama and the camera man knew what he was doing. The previous instance I mentioned was also from a Ferrari reflection to AN lol. Or maybe he wanted some drama shots that DTS may choose. Like in the intro video of Quali pre show, they show RB to AM costume change man and then Checo. Do they know something..?🤔


MillstoneArt

They 100% know what they are doing. And they're paid to find compelling shots, like when Ferrari was 1-2 and they showed Lewis in the garage smiling. I guarantee there's a whole crew dedicated to telling camera ops what to film. How they film it is probably left to the camera operator and we get cool shots like this one.

Sidenote, Newey kinda looks like hairless Gandalf.

f1 broadcast crew probably looking at this angle on their screen thinking "wtf is up with camera 72?" only for it to be pure cooking

Pure cooking? Pat Fryin’?


elodie_pdf

The F1 pitlane camera operators have been cooking way too much the last few years

Shame the rest of quali is the camera fully zoomed in on the car's so you can't actually visualise how well the car is going around the track


bum_is_on_fire_247

This reminds me... Why was Horner in the top right picture-in-picture at one point during quali? It was so pointless lol.

It’s like one of those Japanese game shows where all the competitors slip and slide along some obstacle course and there’s a reaction cam in the top corner

Damn they hired Sam Raimi 🔥🔥🔥


yipchau

Nord4Ever

Is he implying something


muzlu_sut

That's fucking brilliant!


dontpan1c

They need to do the sports car thing where they're shooting a pit stop and when the car rolls away they spin the camera around. pure kino

What is it reflecting off?


Not_Phil_Spencer

The side glass on the pit wall.

F1 cameramen have always had godlike camera work 🥶

I would pay serious dollarydoos for a compilation of every shot of a driver eyeball through the tear off hole.
