Odd that they've not tried something similar at Austria? or is it too marginal?Anyway, should make the 2nd race a bit different to the first - temps going to make a huge difference.......
The meduim in the first race is the Hard in the second this is a better graphic..
They should have a lot of data on the C2 tyre come race day, I think they’ve got the silverstone option the wrong way round.

It does run the risk of being a one-stop traffic queue.I agree - a potentially duller first race, followed by a multi-stop second race would seem a better option.
One of the things I think should have been experimented with (rather than the dramatic reverse grid option, which I would have loved) is to force a gap in the tyre choices, so something like C1, C2 & C4, or C1, C3 & C4.
edit: I may have misinterpreted the tyre graphic - oops.

The C5 could have potentially worked at Hungary, and perhaps they could have put one at Austria but it would be a gteed 2 + stop..
There a bit stuck with the high speed nature of the first 7/8 tracks to have a gap, and the deltas last year were about 1.6/2.0 seconds between the compounds last year, having a 4 second delta on a tyre could be a bit too much.

Have CH4 issued their transmission times yet ?
No times, just the rather bland press release: "With the confirmation that the flags are up, our coverage of the shortened season of F1 will begin in July with highlights of the Austrian GP.
"We’ll be updating broadcast times as they become available."
Six pointless new ways to ill-inform new fans, hark back to the past and make existing fans rush out to renew their Sky subscriptions.

Perhaps Liberty’s plan is to make the TV feed so annoying and crap that it drives people to go to the circuit?

Regardless of the number of data points, it made absolutely no difference to the 'overtake percentage' graphic that has been a complete failure, so I don't hold out much hope for these. I like that Brundle basically gave up on them, after presumably having been politely asked to refer to them as much as possible early on.https://www.racefans.net/2020/06/23/six-new-televi...

All this stuff yet we've gone backwards in terms of no longer seeing fuel use, no thermal cameras etc.

This is basically from the F1.com living timing, we’re you can see a driver performing relative to the car performing, the scores have been on there for a while driver vs car.All this stuff yet we've gone backwards in terms of no longer seeing fuel use, no thermal cameras etc.
I saw a preview last week, that included drivers fighting under/over steer, average corner speed now down/up.. and can they perform to the cars ability, now ‘if’ this is accurate than great.
They have access to 300 sensors, and have gone back over 25 yrs of GP to give the Insight to the predicted data.
To be honest I’d rather see race pace traces shown on the position tower, but IMO it should be extra info it you want it, via an app, or option on the broadcast.
