this past winter Sauber put out a 360 video of a lap during testing...if i recall correctly they just used that 360 Keymission Nikon camera which is about $500... so the equipment to film it exists and is relatively cheap for an f1 team and putting it up on youtube is basically free.

i would imagine the Tata network can easily handle the load as they seem more than capable of providing the teams and race control with data streaming back to their respective data centres (not sure if they also handle the transmission of the world feed). plus they are talking about providing various real time solutions (VR/AR) to enhance the fan experience.

imo the infrastructure already exists but is it a service enough fans will subscribe to or pay for?
