Formula 1 Invited Me To Their Headquarters

Crazzzzzzzzzzzzyy!!!!!

If you get invited back, you should ask about if they'll ever go for less wide-angle lenses to show the speed of the cars more. Or just, generally choosing better camera angles focused on battles rather than going for fancy camera shots.

I wonder if F1TV commentators and producers can ask directly to the main feed directors if they can show a specific replay or such

Damn how are they piping 500TB per race weekend!

Yet they still show fighting for p15 instead of a fight for p1.

Matt - Great content! Since you have seen (and done) this - might you consider reaching out to other sports (football; US/NFL football; hockey; etc) to explain their logistics in bringing their content?
/keep up the great work!

Looks as dull as their races 😂😂

Is F1 actually the Truman Show?

Would be hilarious if it rains

all this stuff, and yet F1TV still never works when you need it to

Great stuff!! Thank you!!

Oh this is a great overview good work. I’m going to pass this round all my broadcast engineering friends :D

Only 10 minutes?! ffs... :p

looks like nuclear power plant control room.

That is huge... With all of this, it is hard to imagine how hard it would be to upgrade streaming to 4k, how much hardware needs to be upgraded to handle 4x-8x multiplied stream bandwidth or proxying it in real-time into this system...

Never thought it was such a gigantic operation. But wouldnt expect less. Outstanding video

Could you explain how all the graphics work? For example the classification on the side of the screen...

This is incredible insight, it’s awesome!

Outstanding!! I’m always very curious about how things work down to the smallest detail and your report answered a lot of these kinds of questions I’ve had. Really well done thank you.

Id like a word with the audio booth about the first 20 mins of the Brazil gp

Good to see that Bernie has managed to keep it UK based down at Biggin Hill......

Thanks This the Great Video !

Epic.

It makes so much sense now. They suck at directing because they don't know how to read timing and scoring. How pitiful...

Okay fine I’ll give them a break when broadcast is a bit off it’s bloody impressive they can stay on top of anything.

F1 is shit

Great content

Incredible video! Thank you for all these insights. This is truly also the pinnacle of broadcasting.

I respect their work, but sometimes they sleeping during the races.

Thank for sharing this. I wondered how they did this. Now I know. 😃👍👍

Still failed to avoid the calamitous incident such as lap 56 of 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

This was soooooo cool to finally see a behind the scene, awesome, thanks

Its crazy how much work goes behind the scenes 😲

"Imagine if they're giving you an HaychDMI cable"

And they still miss most of overtakes.

fascinating

They suck

Oh, this is cool

This was awesome !

Great content. Congratulations

I preferred the F1 tv feed too. Somehow it’s been blocked so I’m back to sky. Detest the sky coverage too, except Ted and Martin. The rest could done for me though.
Pretty sure Amazon could have outbid sky to show f1 in uk on prime.
My USA mate is still trying to figure out why I can’t watch the feed, I had paid for it too as he didn’t watch f1. Confused.

Thanks Matt, a great insight from Biggin Hill and how the data is transmitted from all around the world to litttle old England. As a video compression Engineer I have been to a lot of live sports events and Broadcast companies all over the world, but I would love to see behind the scenes at F1. Fantastic work by the whole team to deliver that amount of video/audio/data week in and week out. Thanks for the video

This is crazy!!

Oh so these are the people responsible for the awful race direction during the broadcasts.

Amazing behind the scenes look Matt!
