What is this thing hovering above Vettel? I just took a screen capture of the slide show playing on the BBC F1 website, and I can't tell what the thing is!

Ok, yeah I can sort of make that out. Is it really low?

I think it is a low boom camera, but being closer to the camera than the car it looks funny.

Now I'm not so sure. Anyone remember the red orb in Flight of the Navigator?
