Standard drone/helicopter shots, sure. They have to use a wide angle and a huge distance to follow the car through a corner or two.
But this is a narrow angle with a fairly close distance to the car. I think there is a pretty good sense of speed here.
Meh to each their own. I feel like these shot would look just as fast if it were following an f3 car at 160kph. It's the like how movies create the illusion of going fast even though they were going 30kph while filming. The car is (almost)static, centered and in focus in the screen so I don't particularly think it shows the true speed of the cars. It's a basic shot composition technique, the subject quickly going from one end of the screen to the other is a powerful dynamic effect. The blurriness of the surroundings do all the heavy lifting here so you don't get as much visual information to distinguish between going 150 or 350kph. You can see this in the video when are on a dry vs wet track, it's really hard to tell how much slower or faster they are going it all looks the same. I think a static cam is closer to what you would see IRL. By the way I'm not against those shots, they are far better and clearer than quick panning shots like what is mostly used anyway.
