While the drivers are racing, an entire team sometimes sits thousands of miles away in Biggin Hill working together with a team that sits near the track to get everything right on camera. Formula 1 gives a unique glimpse into that collaboration.

Several people are discussing how the cameramen should proceed in case of a big accident. This time the big crash of Max Verstappen was used as an example who collided with Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone.

Camera's quickly go away from Verstappen

Verstappen was followed until the moment he flew into the tyre stacks, but shortly afterwards the camera moves on to Charles Leclerc. "Stay away from Max, stay away from Max!", can be heard through the microphones.

It is extremely important for the directors to first know that everything is going well with Verstappen. Only when Verstappen gets out of the car do the directors focus the cameras on Verstappen again.
