Formula 1 is aware that it has a show in hand to enhance with the debut of the ground-effect single-seaters. With the tests in Sakhir scheduled from Thursday to Saturday, the television season also officially begins, after the tests in Barcelona had been declassified to pre-season tests.
There was no live TV of the three Spanish days for a precise choice: Bahrain asked and obtained to… turn on the spotlight on the F1 world championship with the second test session, in exchange for a generous economic agreement.

Fans, therefore, will have the opportunity to follow the tests with direct coverage of Sky F1 which will follow from 8:00 to 12.00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 what will happen on the track. According to the rumors that come to us from Bigging Hill, where the FOM has the Media and Technology Center, we must expect a series of news that should improve the TV show.
After the positive experimentation in Barcelona on Ferrari’s filming day, Formula 1 intends to officially debut drones in Bahrain, expanding the offer of TV footage capable of improving the show on the track.
In addition to the cameras scattered along the circuit to cover the entire track of Sakhir and those mounted on the single-seaters, we will have the usual aerial views from the helicopter to which the images of the drones will be added.
Overcoming a series of political problems related to safety, rather than actually technological, drones will be a good news that will come into action in the tests to carry out tests in view of the official debut in the first Grand Prix of the 2022 championship.

The small unmanned aircraft will have the task of making the sense of speed more perceived by viewers with unprecedented footage, given that the television, due to the long telephoto lenses, tends to flatten the images, removing the sense of speed that is perceived live.
The drone, in fact, will be authorized to fly at a very low altitude (apparently 10-15 meters) to shoot the cars sideways in a brawl, with shots that will increase the sense of speed, raising the emotional quality of the show. Not to be missed…
