That's just an ad. This is far from fastest; glider drones can reach transonic speeds (~550mph) with dynamic soaring without even having a motor. [1] They've been around for a while. F1 comparison on a straight road is also meh, as F1 is designed for cornering speed.

But this isn't a comparison on a straight line, it's a comparison around a full lap with the drone not cutting corners (though also not staying within the track limits).

I mean the title says fastest camera drone, which that is decidedly not. Not to say that it's a necessarily accurate title, as other commenters have pointed out.
