It's mental how many camera feeds they have access too at any given moment, now I understand why sometimes we see a Stroll replay instead of an overtake on track.

This video could be 2 or 3 hours long and I don't think I feel bored at any moment watching the video.

Watching the race, you wonder sometimes how they can fluff stuff up. But then you get a look behind the scenes and now I'm impressed they manage to achieve a coherent broadcast at all! What a huge array of things to manage in real time and get constantly correct/optimised for a flowing broadcast.

I work for F1 as an editor in that very building, and you've done a great job on capturing what its like there!

7:05 how ironic out of all the team radios they could have used to demonstrate this, they choose Leclerc losing hope again in his strategy team

This is so wild dude! Did you manage to figure out who the director was from Brazil? I just want to talk to them... Great video!!

As a F1TV suscriber... thank you for this, amazing insight into such a great part of my F1 experience.

Great insight Matt! As someone who loves the BTS and technical side of large scale broadcasts, this video is a winner 👌 I could sit and watch the gallery all day

I was fortunate enough to get a tour round the Biggin Hill HQ last year, and it is crazy how much goes into the broadcast. You've done an excellent job at highlighting the talented people that bring us the sport every week!

This is amazing! What I would do to be a fly on the wall in this place during the race… Thanks for showing us!

That is huge... With all of this, it is hard to imagine how hard it would be to upgrade streaming to 4k, how much hardware needs to be upgraded to handle 4x-8x multiplied stream bandwidth or proxying it in real-time into this system...

Please please please make a video about F1 software. You showed off a mind-boggling amount of custom software that powers that facility, and I would like to learn about it. Do they handle software engineering in house? What do they build, vs. what are they buying from 3rd parties? So many questions!

F1 is a fantastic export for England 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Oh this is a great overview good work. I’m going to pass this round all my broadcast engineering friends :D

Thanks very much for seeking and doing these behind the curtain videos on production, safety and racing. They're amazing

Dude this video could not have come at a better time. I was just talking with my friend yesterday about how insane the production must be, and really wondering how its all done. This answered everything I wanted to know about how the production works. Hats off to you for providing it in such a succinct and understandable way too. This video is amazing.

8:30 YES! FINALLY! I know how they get the dirt off the cameras! I always see the screen rolling down, but always wondered how they do it! So cool!

Man, as someone that wants to do TV broadcasting/video editing someday for Formula 1, this video was an absolute pleasure to watch. Seeing all the behind-the-scenes stuff was so unbelievably cool, thank you so much for documenting this. Hopefully I'll get to work there someday, as it's my dream job to do motorsports video editing.

If I'm not wrong I remember that the remote broadcasting of the international feed was a thing planned around 2023-2024 season as one of the Net Zero 2030 targets, but the COVID deal anticipated the whole program. Plus, it would be interesting to see where they have their whole historical video and photographic footage archive. Brilliant video behind the scenes!

Outstanding!! I’m always very curious about how things work down to the smallest detail and your report answered a lot of these kinds of questions I’ve had. Really well done thank you.

Wow, just wow! How they get all that to work and sync during a race is just remarkable. Great job as always showing and explaining.

Thanks Matt, a great insight from Biggin Hill and how the data is transmitted from all around the world to litttle old England. As a video compression Engineer I have been to a lot of live sports events and Broadcast companies all over the world, but I would love to see behind the scenes at F1. Fantastic work by the whole team to deliver that amount of video/audio/data week in and week out. Thanks for the video

there should be a documentary about the behind the scenes from the side of F1 itself.

As an AV engineer and F1 fan, this is heaven

Incredible video! Thank you for all these insights. This is truly also the pinnacle of broadcasting.

one of the most impressive thing about f1 is that the editor for their youtube channel - the highlights to FP/Quali/Race always come out within an hour of the actual event, their real time editing is unreal

Matt continues to get amazing access to some really rad behind the scene F1 stuff that I'm always super interested in. Keep it up!

Looks like a dam spaceship! I swear star trek Bridge looks so similar. 😂 Or a military ops room. Very cool video, nice to see how it all happens.

Great piece of content. I am a Vision Broadcast Engineer for NEP. It’s great to see how F1 has created their unique remote workflow and managed to pretty seamlessly introduce it during covid without many major issues. Knowing how intricate remote broadcasts can be: massive respect One thing I’d like to know, I did see some OCP’s in the video but my guess is that these were for the local studio camera’s. Am I correct in assuming that shading is done locally on track due to delay? I have done shading on a camera remotely in the Netherlands during the olympic games in China, but that was only for a flash interview. Can’t imagine you can shade a sports production with so many frames of delay

I love your content around f1 and great to see that f1 opens its doors to show someone around. Never ever have I seen any footage of their headquarters. 😍

I was lucky enough to get a tour of the broadcast centre at the '15 Canadian GP. I was blown away then, but it's amazing to see how much it's progressed. Having a remote UK based operation is so much better for staff and helps ensure even better levels of consistency for each broadcast.

This was really cool. Loved the bit on how they put up the radio messages. Great video, subscribed.

As always.. brilliant. Thank you for this

Unbelievably complex. What a fascinating insight behind the scenes. Thank you so much x

Never thought it was such a gigantic operation. But wouldnt expect less. Outstanding video

This was so cool and informative to watch. Loved it!

Amazing vid. So much explained in 10 mins

This is the content we need please keep going back and coming back with more we need the behind the scenes I've missed your uploads

So much go behind the scene to make this is epic sports happen every weekend! Thank you for taking us behind the scene

I LOVE Matt's technical F1 videos. He always does an amazing job.

You never miss Amys! Fascinating look behind the scenes! been a fan since the graphics tutorial lol!

Wow now I understand why when an on board camera has water or dirt or oil on it, you then see that going down. I always thought that it was just the wind blowing the water or dirt downwards. It's incredible the amount of technology they have. You would think the wing camera is like a glorified webcam but it's way more than that. It's incredible that F1 does all this in-house

That is so cool to see, thanks for the insight!

Cracking video Matt, well done.

Amazing, thanks for sharing it. I would love to go there and ask a million questions!

Great video Matt, happy to subscribe. 😊

This is incredible insight, it’s awesome!

Great stuff!! Thank you!!

A lot goes into the production of broadcasting the race and what goes behind the scenes. Thank you for making this video and I'm glad F1 invited you to the HQ!

Fantastic video, top quality production too. New subscriber here!

fantastic video, unmatched insight. brilliant stuff Matt, as always!💚

As a broadcast engineer, and long time F1 fan, really dope to see the FOMTC. Wicked video Matt!!

Amazing behind the scenes look Matt!

This was soooooo cool to finally see a behind the scene, awesome, thanks

Yeah, abit more complicated than our BTS 😱😱

What a great vid. It blows my mind how they turn all those screens into a broadcast that is so good consistently! Yes, they miss something every now and then, but its still brilliant. Also , didn't know that Alex Jacques actually works for F1TV and not Channel 4. So the Ch4 commentary is actually jut the F1TV comms I imagine DORNA who handle MotoGP have a similar set up somewhere as well

Thank for sharing this. I wondered how they did this. Now I know. 😃👍👍

I just geeked out so hard over this! Great content as always Matt 👌

Fantastic insight and a mind blowing set up. Great video! 👏👏

amazing , Thank you for the Content !

This is the best video I've seen in the whole year! Congrats! By the way, when an F1 car enters the garage, the onboards signals are cut. Is this an automatic process, or there is someone there turning them on/off?

lovely video thanks for see with you behind the scene

If you get invited back, you should ask about if they'll ever go for less wide-angle lenses to show the speed of the cars more. Or just, generally choosing better camera angles focused on battles rather than going for fancy camera shots.

Awesome vid matt!

Matt - Great content! Since you have seen (and done) this - might you consider reaching out to other sports (football; US/NFL football; hockey; etc) to explain their logistics in bringing their content? /keep up the great work!

Some of the unsung heros of F1

Thanks for this epic video, Matt Amys!

This was an epic video ! Good job !

Thanks for the trailer Matt, it looks awesome! I can't wait to see the 90 minutes full version of this video 😋😋😋

matt amys: answers the real questions i have. thanks for another cool insight man

Loveeee your content man!

great video mate, great access.

very insightful and nice video!

This was so fascinating!

Very interesting ! Thanks you

Aww man I was really hoping he was going to use Lance Stroll as the replay example. Great video as always, Matt!

Its crazy how much work goes behind the scenes 😲

7:11 this guy sounds eerily like russell

Great content. Congratulations

It’s honestly amazing that the latency is less than 2 seconds considering how far and to how many locations the footage has to go to.

Okay fine I’ll give them a break when broadcast is a bit off it’s bloody impressive they can stay on top of anything.

This was awesome !

Cool stuff, amazed about the fact they are using a ND and Gradient filter on the camera. Wish the feed from the car's camera wasn't only 720p. It's time they moved to 1080p...

This is awesome

Damn that’s so nice of them allowing you to enter and show how things work behind the scenes. Would’ve Beene extremely cool if they’ve shown a clip or let you film during the race or a practice session, since we would’ve seen how chaotic it gets when you have multiple people talking trying to get out the best broadcast they can

looks like nuclear power plant control room.

All of that manpower and equipment, and they decide to show a fight for p13 when there’s a fight for p3

Great content

Great content. I knew it was complex but not to that level.

Thanks This the Great Video !

All that technology and we couldn’t get a small overlayed video of the Russell/Ricciardo battle whilst max crossed the line 😅

Christmas has come early - thank you

Wow. So many moving parts!!

that's so wild, so many camera's and all i would get so overwhelmed if I was in that position

I'd love to hear about the hardware P.S.: That onboard camera is a piece of magic, how smart is it designed, impressive !!

amazing video!!

Great video!

Now if they can stop cutting to a crowd shot or a replay, while there is a pass going on track, that would be great

this topic deserves more than a 10 minutes video 😄

This is crazy!!
