Over the years, the F1 has seen immense technological advances. Since the first on-board camera on a racing car in 1985, teams have added more cameras to provide more images. Although the 360-degree camera made its debut in 2018, F1 did not release any coverage of the action on this camera.
The 360-degree camera is on the nose of the car, right between the halo and the front wing. In a 76-second video, F1 released footage showing the action from these cameras on Hamilton and Verstappen’s cars.
The fans can follow the whole crash from Hamilton’s camera. From the point they make contact to the Verstappen right rear tire driving over the Brits and the halo, this camera offers a more complete view. It also shows the defending champion kicking up some gravel as he tried to reverse and keep going.
Verstappen’s camera, on the other hand, doesn’t show that much. However, it does show the Dutchman checking out his British rival briefly before walking right past the crime scene.

At the 53-lap race in Monza, Daniel Ricciardo took his first race win in three years. Additionally, McLaren’s performance on Sunday helped overtake Ferrari in the constructors’ championship. Meanwhile, Mercedes and Red Bull needed Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez to bring home valuable points for their respective teams.
After the race on Sunday, Verstappen and Hamilton met with the commissioners as part of their investigation. Later that day, they announced that the Dutchman would face a three-place penalty in the next race, the Russian Grand Prix.
