Alternatively, the TMD's in the wheels shake at 25 hz as mentioned at the beginning of this thread, and the nose of the car yaws (see the "Red Bull floor" thread) at 30 hz, so the combined motion creates the necessary frequencies to fool both TV feed rates.
Newey is a genius.
But standard F1 cameras shoot at more than 25/30fps otherwise we wouldn't have slow motion. Magny Cours was even equiped with a 1000fps camera...
