In that vein, movies, whilst watching the F-1 race in India this morning, I noticed that each of the team's "row of engineers peering at LCD screens of the thousands of sensors on their drivers cars" had a slot between the screens and the laptops on the bench through which a DSLR was sliding back and forth on dual rails, rotating to get different angles (don't think it changed vertical angle) as the race progressed. Very erie, with no one in sight at the controls. TV? Team records? Don't know, but it was not a movie or TV cameras. Not even a GoPro (God that guy must be so rich by now)
