Formula One isn’t just the pinnacle of motorsport; it’s also the world’s largest remote broadcast, with every moment of fast-paced footage being beamed to more than 1.5 billion people across the length of a season. Some 58km of fibre optics, data antennae and timing loops accurate to 1/10000th of a second are laid five full days before lights out. Hundreds of cameras and microphones see almost every inch of circuit, with the footage piped down twin 10Gbit fibre pipelines to be edited and editorialised before it hits your screens.
