TLDW: They’re adding a rear view camera in 2024 below the rain lights so we’ll get to see some action from cars looking to overtake. It was on Stroll’s car during Silverstone FP1 but wasn’t broadcast. It was also on the Safety Car and used for a few seconds, though that was added to the rear wing of the Safety Car so the angle was higher.
Thanks for the summary, no need for a video when text covers the point!
Sounds like a fantastic addition, always good to get more camera angles especially upclose overtaking. Though I do hope they improve the networking at some of the street circuits so the feeds are clearer
I wish they would give us the 360 camera feed to watch.
The 360/moveable camera in indycar is pretty cool. The rear facing camera is definitely a step in the right direction.
I feel like the 360 camera would make a ton of sense for F1. If it works well, it would go great with F1TV alongside the onboard cameras.
pretty sure I saw this camera angle in the Formula E race this past weekend
I liked it better than the traditional rear view camera which is too high up in my opinion

Kinda off topic, but do we have news about the rain covers that they tested at Silverstone? Dis the test happen ?
