Francois Hesnault had the first on-board camera during a Formula One race for the 1985 German Grand Prix. It wasn't the first on-board camera, there are numerous examples from the 1970s in practice sessions such as Patrick Depailler's masterclass in the rain at Montreal, but this was the first one during a race.

Hesnault was entered by Renault in the Grand Prix specifically to run the camera car and it was the last time a team ran three drivers in one Grand Prix.
