Even if it was accurate... Why take away the thrill of watching live and NOT knowing what will happen next? And it's not accurate in any case so that for me puts in firmly in 'distraction' territory.
This. In a nutshell.

The question is what are they trying to divert attention from........?
That huge Eagle at COTA...

now we could have something like this hehe


Whoever did this has no clue what F1 is about. The picture is clearly missing a rainbow.

Better article with a video on the ‘graphics’ only a couple of mins out of your time as such...

This would all seem to be Rob Smedley’s work..

Did they even use any of this new stuff during the race this weekend? I didn't notice if they did.

They had the extra information super-imposed over the halo in the onboard shots, and I saw the "car speed rating" thing once in free practice.

They had more than usual on the halo overlay, I think g-metre and back facing view from the 360 cam..

The other stuff we saw in the preview video etc is to be phased in gradually this season. Presumably so they can work out at which point viewers start to complain "stop putting extra st all over my screen"!

This is the rollout:




The first of these, which will be in place for the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix, will offer fans a 'Car Performance Score'.

This will be based on a number of statistics relating to the car's strengths including power, grip, downforce and drag. There will be four core metrics on offer: Low-Speed Cornering, High-Speed Cornering, Straight Line and Car Handling.

From the second race at Silverstone in August, which is known as the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, there will be an Ultimate Driver Speed Comparison to help compare current drivers from the past. The data runs back to 1983.

From the Belgian Grand Prix, a High-Speed/Low-Speed Corner Performance graphic will allow fans to see how well drivers tackle high speed corners (those above 175kph/109mph), and slow speed (below 125mph/78 mph).

In the second half of the season, F1 and AWS are planning to roll out three different graphics: one for Driver Skills Rating, one for Car/Team Development and Overall Season Performance and a final one for Qualifying and Race Pace Prediction Graphic.

The data is great, more the better. Being hard coded in to the world stream less good! It's not clear either if the graphics will be floating above the cars as in the promo vid or whether that was just to illustrate why the data can help understand the cars performance.

If the graphics start to take over the screen and aren't optional, that would be annoying.
