Lando Norris was the man to beat at the Australian Grand Prix – but a brand new feature on F1 TV shows just how close Oscar Piastri got to his team mate during their Qualifying battle for pole position.
Using the new ‘Ghost Car’ tool, fans can get a direct comparison between two drivers, with a simulation of the other car shown in the onboard footage from one driver’s car.
And with Norris beating Piastri by only 0.084s to the P1 slot during Saturday’s Qualifying in Melbourne, the footage highlights where the Briton was able to gain an advantage over his fellow McLaren driver.
Hit play on the video player above to check out the ‘Ghost Car’ feature in action.
Also available is the ‘Virtual Heli Lap’ tool, which gives a direct comparison by following the lap of both drivers from above the track.
See it in action by clicking go on the video player above.
And for a further insight, check out the ‘Virtual Overhead Lap’ feature, which tracks each driver’s lap in a direct overhead shot (seen in the video above).
You can enjoy the coverage from every session live on F1 TV Pro, where we bring you closer to the action via exclusive features like onboard cameras on all 20 of the drivers’ cars, and access to both our Pre-Race and Post-Race Shows.
F1 TV Pro can also be streamed easily via Apple TV, Chromecast Generation 2 and above, Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku. F1 TV Pro is free of ad breaks and available with commentary in six languages.
New for the 2025 season is F1 TV Premium, a premier service that invites fans to step into the heart of the action with the ability to watch races in 4K Ultra HD/HDR, as well as a personalised Multiview feature available on select devices.
