“The closest most of us will get to driving a formula 1 car!”
*cries*
To be fair, an F1 game with a simple home setup with a decent force feedback wheel and helmet view is not bad. Can also get an idea of how difficult it is to drive too ;) Obviously still no where near the real thing, but pretty cool. Especially doing the same track with a normal car after in an F1 car, the F1 has sooo much more grip.
Nah vr f1
@@Buddahknife for a few minutes, after that you will be in the toilet puking
vr + steering wheel+F1 2021 game= more than this.
@@sreejith8022 I made this mistake. Tried a VR headset at a trade show. Promptly puked.
MORE OF THIS!!!
No.
No the angle is terrible and you can't see the tracks, I really hope this is a one off.
@Toasted' Nugget_' As mace master has put it, this angle feels too awkward plus i want to see closer racing up top. Immersion means nothing to me.
@Ryan 420 "unusual for a v6".. It's the opposite. The hybrid cars have massive amounts of energy being recovered through the turning of the rear wheels and make much more torque than the previous generation engines. A higher torque output also means there is higher torque required on input from the driveline when off throttle.
@Toasted' Nugget_' Also the track isn't, it's just the sides of the track. That are bumpy. The tacks do have slight elevation change though. But it's all gradual to keep consistency.
"Just sit back and listen to this!"
JK we're going to talk all the way through it.
This is why James Alan is better than Crofty
@@sylviestar5520 There’s days when a random fan plucked out of one of the grandstands would be better than Crofty.
He didn’t start off this way. I’m sure Sky must be constantly telling him to get more shouty and “exciting”.
Sound was practically off anyway.
imo the renault engine sounds the best in the grid
Ffs
I would have loved this angle when Alonso was defending against Hamilton last race, the amount of mirror checking must have been INSANE lol
for real
I think you might be surprised how little they use their mirrors!
These guys know where an overtaking move is likely to happen based on instincts, corner characteristics, the tow you're providing for the guy behind and how well you've come off a corner etc.
Using your mirrors is one of the biggest distractions - it would be so easy to miss your breaking point etc if you're concentrating overly on what's happening behind.
@@yewtubez oh for sure all the wheel to wheels
@@MrSpanks Not quite, everything you've said is correct but they check their mirrors quite a lot just to confirm that the driver behind them is actually where they think they are, they just do it incredibly quickly so you don't notice it often.
@@MrSpanks agree, they usually sense someone is about to overtake just by basing it on their instincts and peripheral vision.
they need this on a new driver every race
Yes
It helps me visualize this in my dreams when I am winning 10 championships and winning by 2min margins
They need this on every driver and should broadcast most of the race from these cameras.
Looks like Formula 1 has finally caught up with Indycar.
I think their gonna do that. Every weekend a certain driver would have to do this helmet cam. I hope that happens. It’s the first time it’s been broadcasted live.
Long wanted this. This is sick!
there are loads of these from years back, unless you mean Spa specifically not sure
@@ConnorRoss Never on a flying lap or a real track
Got sick watching it. So bumpy.
Who is Long?
@@ConnorRoss they were slow outlaps
The fact that they did this for the first time with a LEGEND like Alonso, is even more brilliant!
MORE! I want a full lap with no commentary, just natural audio, then several laps worth of commentary! 👍
And commentary from someone who knows the circuit, to walk us through what's happening
The fact that this is on Fernando's helmet makes it more exciting to watch
Fernando's helmet is someone elese's helmet!
Imagine if its Kimi's helmet and we started to hear him swearing / begging for his drink 😂
@@haninditabudhi6574 bwoah
Yeessssss
i think its the best driver they could have chosen probably the most naturally gifted drivers in modern f1
This needs to be a permanent thing, especially during quali and race
Perfect opportunity for the onboard pole laps
I doubt the teams will be happy with other teams seeing their secret stuff on TV
@@thomashayhurst6547 in FE they just blur the wheel dash
@@ElSarto_ESP they might do that then
@@thomashayhurst6547 You see it anyway in the onboard shots.
Love how Paul just ignored Crofty's question about the drivers being so blase as they drive through Eau Rouge
Imagine watching a whole race through this perspective. Thank you F1 for the amazing techonology and idea of this
Alonso still got it!! Glad we have him next year in F1!
Its all part of EL PLAN
@@satolatifi24 the master(b)plan
@@venkatkarthikchikkala8401 do you mean the master🅱lan?
It's all apart of the great Alpine Master (b) plan
@@satolatifi24 EL SBANISH BLAN
Fernando is definitely the driver we wanted this cam on!
This rookie shows skill, I don't think any of the other rookies could have held off Hamilton like he did. I would say he could even be world champion one day.
Oh, I don’t know, watching a Mazes🅱️in might be fun… Once.
@@johnnovack8911 maybe he could even win 2 championships!
@@mercy6864 you must be the guy that doesn't get the jokes
@@mercy6864 Wow, you really don't get sarcasm even if it punches you right in the face huh?
If they gonna pick a driver to do this every track, I can’t wait for Mazepin to take us for a spin, literally.
my head hurts watching this. i don't think i can drive one of these things in a race. they need to clear out the whole track and remove the barriers for me to drive. Mazepin - yes bring it on.
That was an epic perspective! The corners come thick and fast, and you appreciate just how much concentration is required.
That was refreshing. I wish we get it during a driver battle or an overtake. I would like to see how fast a driver travels with DRS and a tow.
Getting a toe with DRS at Baku on this view....
woah this would be epic if its verstappen vs hamilton fight in a race
"sit back and listen" Crofty... let's talk over it then
Crofty is annoying. The less he talks, the better.
It's not "Crofty" it's "Croftass."
U do realize all these on boards r available with no commentary over them ...
Riding with Fernando Alonso, probably the best driver on the grid makes it more exciting.
Cope Olympics.
I think Hamilton would have something to say about that. But, he is definitely the most unconventional. That steering wheel flip should make him spin more, but it doesn’t. No one throws a car into a turn, adjusts the car accordingly, and speeds away like Alonso. No one.
@@LagmasterB i mean youre right and wrong. Plenty of people do it all the time, just not in f1
I think Verstappen is a tad better than Alonso but else I agree. Hamilton comes in third.
This camera is superb, love to watch this (4 times already done and it is counting). 👍 I love that Fernando Alonso still has the skills and drive amazingly fast. ¡Vamos Fernando! 🇪🇦🏆👏
This is the coolest thing ever it’s absolutely amazing to see the driver’s POV. Thank you F1 for doing this! Keep it going!
If Driver's Eye is news to you, you've never watched Formula E.
@@KAMiKAZOW when did I say it was? …
360 degree MotoGP cam that's amazing
@@tpilot_error404 f1 also has 360 cam in the front of the car
@@tpilot_error404is IMSA also has 360 camera view?
finally, been wishing this was a thing ever since FE started using it a while back
I believe it was Paul Tracey who had one of these fitted in his helmet for one of the indycar races years ago, not sure if very late 90' or early 00's. Probably a video on YT somewhere
@@nickwonttell8584 they still have these in indy as far as i am aware
Indy have
360 Panning RoolHoop Cams
Nose Cams
and these fitted to some of the cars
Still love that even Grosjean produces this kind of content as an individual as well
Indycar has been using this for years
@@justinprins2572 IndyCar ones are placed on top of the helmet, this one is inside the visor in the left padding so is actually eye-level.
@@dinozamparelli6790 It could be said that the Indycar angle is less what the driver sees but it is more useful for seeing the action.
And regardless its been a regular broadcast feature for years. F1 is lagging behind.
This was one of the coolest things ive seen in ANY sports broadcast in a very long time. Props to the F1 media team.
Amazing. We need so much more of this and I feel like Grosjean has had influence on this inadvertently. He’s been using this the whole time he’s been in an Indycar and it’s some of his best content. Keep it coming!
Anthony: 'Sit back and just listen to this.'
Croft: "Can I just add..."
Please just, be quiet for one lap.
You can imagine him as a child-
"IT'S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET??"
It drives me crazy
😢>😭
@@Bas_Lightyear yo you watch jerma too
I was going to say the same thing. I love Crofty. But sometimes I wish he would be quiet for a bit.
Sometimes not talking is the best thing a commentator can do.
right!? Crofty just likes the sound of his own voice.
They managed to go 5 seconds without talking. Ffk sake how can you not understand how that is a unique moment and let fans appreciate it.
@@lcsperuzzioliveira what not doing your job for the satisfaction of other people?
@@timotiusfabian5743 their job is to entertain. And sometimes entertaining means you have to take a step back and let things happen. They could have said everything that they said 2 minutes later.
This used to happen back in the days before Crofty. If you watch past races, the commentary was never so intense and one commentator could count on the other not to talk.
"Sit back and listen to this"
*proceeds to talk over the whole clip"
This is great, please continue to do this.
This is absolutely amazing. This needs to be on either every driver. Or a new person every race.
every driver, imagine you put it on just one driver and he crashed first lap. or imagine if they put it in Charles's helmet in Monaco this year for the race
This was awesome! Thank you F1 for this.
Dude this would be amazing during the races, imagine seeing overtakes as seen through their eyes 👌
This is great. Thanks for this footage.
Eau Rouge looks so terrifying
And they say it's easy. Let them drive through it.
Imagine driving through it
@@jithunderstrike-gamesadven6287 at 300 kph
I crash there all the time
@Eugene Yep your right
POV: You're a Legend
A cam with Fernando in every Start of GP! Winning positions like a boss
"Take a view through Eau Rouge…and just watch this, this is EPIC"
"Ah yeah just sit back and listen to this"
"…Can…Can I just add?"
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Can we get this without the commentators audio please f1
“Just sit back and listen to this”....starts talking 3 seconds later
@@dylanwadell7768 Guaranteed that Crofty would do that.
This is more annoying than a mosquito flying next to my ears at 3am.
@@PM-bl8gl 😂
without the commentators it would sound like a clogged vacuum cleaner, so just as well.
Alpine is confident enough to show the dash especially after what happened last time around... :)
What happened ?
@@trilexi at the japanese gp in 2019 renault had some kind of auto brake bias setting which obviously is illegal but they were caught because it showed up on the dash of their steering wheels
After last race in Hungary, Alonso's car has been "chosen" to be revised by FIA.
@@aurorag.7846 lol what
They already let F1 show us how their steering wheel works so yeah
I've waited for 50 years to see this view! More, please!!
Scotty, if I recall correctly I spoke to you about F1 broadcasting back in '86 and I cannot recall you saying anything about needing to see this view. Please stop misleading the public.
Absolutely love it! Please use this as a race start replay
Love how Crofty just gets ignored at the start
I would love a "mute Crofty" ability.
@@ptanyuh Hopefully Sky adds that to their remote next.
@@ptanyuh from what I remember, in 2013 there used to be a mute commentary button when the BBC used to have TV rights to F1, they also had a detailed live race report for it's time and an option to listen to Radio 5 Live commentary if you wanted that instead of the TV one
@@ptanyuh I changed the language on my F1TV and it was great
@@ptanyuh - you mean there are times when you actually want to hear what he is saying? When he's not talking about all the restaurants he went to the night before he is laughing at his own jokes or explaining them because nobody else is laughing at them. Forget the button and just turn off his microphone permanently.
we need this camera angle more often!!!
It would be fantastic to have this POV on a race day. Its a great way to see what a drivers does during his overtake attempt. Please give us more! 🙌🏽
We need more of this!
Straight back into the 90s... One of the best footage's ever the past decades
Ughhhhh I love this! Fernando Alonso was my first favorite driver! I remember begging my dad to let me buy his jersey 😀
This reminds me to the famous video of Senna matching pole lap in Monaco. Alonso is a living f1 legend.
This was brilliant to watch. Took me (sort of) back to my karting days spotting apex’s and throwing the vehicle in. Great addition to Friday practice!
Mazepin’s comes with a motion sickness warning
shouldn’t it be mick’s?
Honestly, I get motion sickness even watching them even take a turn, massive respect for them that they do this for 60 laps+
Their vision is stabilized
Its better and more stable when your the one driving
now imagine if he had a flat spot..
Most Amazing Camera of all time. Thank you F1 with the great panrnership with Alpine. Thank you!
This is awesome! hope they keep these views going. Shows speed and experience better.
We need more of this, the immersion its just crazy
In the brazilian broadcast we watch everything in absolute silence. We don't need words we just feel
Sérgio Mauricio>>>>>Crofty
@@VGOM2000 Sem comparação, estamos muito bem servidos.
This is incredible pleaeease do more of this
Awesome view! Hope this driver's view is available from all drivers. Shows how difficult drivers have to manage lap after lap. Love it!
Can we get this one without them talking over the sound engine?
The vibration though
Absolutely brilliant, more of this please F1
Great view, I'd really like to see that more often. That perspective is absolutely amazing!
FINALLY! BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO BECOME A THING!
Cameraman is sitting on the halo
Definitely more exciting than the 'race' we got at Spa today.
I said that a year ago that we need that cam and finally its creeping its way in to F1. Awesome, because that cam is pretty much standart in other series already and i think it only makes sense that F1 has the same option. The fans are pleased and we get just awesome video footage.
I hope you expand further on that and make it also a cockpit option on F1 TV and sky.
Cheers.
Finally!! So glad they got this at my favorite track
this needs to be one of the standard camera angles from the car!! so amazing
Amazing guys! Keep this up!!!
This is brilliant. We need something like this for every race weekend. They better do this for the race start on Sunday!
I would like to see this on every driver during every race.
Imagine heaving this in Siverstone when Max and Lewis came together. Then we would understand the drivers view piont better.
amazing! we need this for all drivers during all sessions!
mad respect for all drivers (racer), in each turn he had so much task to do without making any mistake.
Absolutely magnificent, too bad the endless comments ruin it :/
I absolutely LOVE that the camera is on eye-hight instead of on top of the helmet, but could the camera not be at the right side of the helmet as well? Then we would truly see a symmetrical perspective of the drivers view.
Soooo, you would like to glue a camera on Alonsos nose?
@@VillainTheHammer no between his eye brows
@@MeltingRubberZ28 which is, well, kind of the upper end of the nose
@@VillainTheHammer Yes, yes indeed. True POV
This is just a brilliant angle. More of this please
Congrats for achieving 6 million subscribers target 👏🙌❤
Legend never die...💪💪
I like the idea that all drivers should have this and the fia can use it to determine fualt in accidents and conditions that others dont in the moment
More of this please F1
WOW this is brilliant - need more, more and more of this PLEASE!!!!!!!
I thought why is Alonso back in F1???
Then he set up the win of the decade.
RESPECT ✊
This isn't Alonso's doing at all.
@@peterporkeresq.2817 ?
@@Bearical
Oh still talking about Ocon's win and calling it "win of the decade?" 🤦🏿♂️😩
@@peterporkeresq.2817 it isn't indeed, but if alonso wasn't in F1, ocon wouldn't have won
Win of the decade 🤣🤣
I appreciate what the commentators added, but could you guys upload the onboard with raw audio, so we can hear the car better?
I love how you can tell when they lift/brake, just by how their head begins to go forward, and the car shakes
More of this please! But without comments, just raw sound
Dayummm!
RAIDILLON IS FWIGGIN' SCARY!
That's Eau Rouge actu-
How brutal is the ride man!, Wow just incredible to see, the amount of fitness he possesses at this point of time, just amazing
One of the most epic camera shots ever
“Just sit back and listen to this”
Crofty 4 seconds later: “can I just add…”
JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! 😑😑
this looks EXTREMELY difficult
Please more of this. It is amazing. I like it. Many thanks Fernando Alonso.
This should be the standard in car camera. You can almost feel the car, it's amazing!
Would've loved to see this view during the Hamilton battle. From both sides
Can we get a clean lap without all the chatter. Just being able to see this vantage point and having Alonso driving at Spa... wow just wow
This view is so cool! Formula E has it live all the time. I love it!
In the eternal words of Kylo Ren, "Morrrrrrrrrreee".
ngl this legitimately looked like a hyper relaistic race
Respect for the drivers
Thank you for not lying.
That was EPIC!! More of that shot please.
More of these please!
