Vettel TV Cam
BBC Qualifying show yesterday showed a camera shot from inside the crash helmet.
How much coverage will we see, shame its from the guy that is normally at the front with no one in front! |

Probably not the best view that you would ever want to see, no matter whose helmet it's put on. |

Strange to have it but not show it.

He used a different helmet during Qually and the race.
The Camera was on the top of his helmet not inside it. |

It was on top. Seb's eye-line is roughly flush with the top of the cockpit. In the camera shot you could see halfway down the nose and suspension uprights etc.
I still struggle to see why FOM seemingly have so much trouble with the concept and how they have alittle play every few years. CART had 3-4 in-helmet cameras per race, and that was almost 10 years ago!!. http://youtu.be/x3CLCPhYQfc Bobby K ran one in testing at Monza a few years back too: http://youtu.be/wpLjvkh4hQE I understand that the FIA are very reluctant to put cams inside helmets for safety concerns. |

Apparently, some viewers said that Vettel's helmet cam made them feel sick!
