I love it when a plan comes together, and there must be someone in the TV production pipeline at Formula 1 who's patting themselves on the back right now for a plan well executed. The motorsport's YouTube channel just uploaded a really interesting new look back at qualifying for this week's sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix, and it needs to be seen even if you're not an F1 fan.
The replay shows the on-car point of view of reigning world champion Max Verstappen, which is a viewpoint that we've seen many times before (albeit it's still always fascinating for how it shows you the sheer speed and risk of racing). This time, though, F1 has used augmented reality to superimpose an opaque "ghost car" representing the exact speed and positioning of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton's own (minutely faster) lap.
