Red Bull teamed up with the drone experts at Dutch Drone Gods to develop a real missile of a drone that can keep up with F1 cars in order to capture chase footage. Some more info about the project while I repeatedly fly the cheap drone I got for Christmas into the ceiling fan because that’s all I seem capable of:

It took Red Bull and the Dutch Drone Gods over a year to create a drone that can accelerate two times faster than an F1 car, reaching 300 km/h in just 4 seconds with a top speed of over 350 km/h. The development was accelerated by access to know-how and processes of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, a high-performance engineering arm of Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team.

After some testing, they manage to capture a full lap of Max Verstappen speeding around the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit in his Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 car, creating the world’s first uninterrupted FPV shot captured by a manually piloted custom built drone. How exciting! Also, does anybody else feel that Red Bull’s constant extremity is ruining regular sports for them? Like I’ll just wait for the Red Bull version.

Video below, finale lap chase begins at 9:10.
