Formula 1’s new gyro camera adds a Dutch angle to the Dutch Grand Prix


Gyro puts a new angle on F1 tracks’ banked turns.

Formula 1 broadcast footage from the Dutch Grand Prix qualifiers at Circuit Zandvoort this weekend that was captured by a gyro camera system mounted above the helmet of the weekend’s race winner, Lando Norris. The camera, which F1 has been testing since 2022, was conceived with an eye particularly toward accentuating exaggerated angles of banked turns at Zandvoort, but despite using it there last year, F1 wasn’t able to broadcast it, according to AutoSport. Others thought it ruined the perception of speed or worried that it could contribute to motion sickness.
