Red Bull has unveiled footage showcasing a custom-built drone, described as the world's fastest camera drone, in a high-speed chase with Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen around the Silverstone circuit. The drone, designed to keep up with the Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 car driven by Verstappen, boasts impressive specifications, including a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph), the ability to accelerate twice as fast as an F1 car, reaching 186 mph in just 4 seconds. The drone's battery life is limited to 3 minutes, with a signal range of 10km. This technological feat was achieved after a year of development by Red Bull's marketing team, highlighting not only the drone's capabilities but also Verstappen's skillful driving, particularly his ability to minimize slippage while accelerating hard on corner exits.
