The world’s fastest camera drone followed Max Verstappen driving a speedy Red Bull F1 car, and it was a race against time and tech.

Max Verstappen is one of Formula 1’s greatest drivers, but forget competing in a Grand Prix, this time it was all about a drone.

The driver went up against the world’s fastest camera drone at the world-famous Silverstone to test its real capabilities, and it was simply thrilling to watch.

The drone took Red Bull and the Dutch Drone Gods over twelve months to create the invention that is able to accelerate a whopping two times faster than a Formula 1 car, and it was Verstappen who got to race it around the track.
