This change to single decimal on the timing sheets is ridiculous. It adds absolutely nothing and does not provide clear information about whether a car is improving per lap.
I have created a petition to return to 3 decimal places like it has been for over 20 years.
Please share and sign to put a stop to this idiocracy.
My post on the F1 Reddit got removed so perhaps someone else can share this on Reddit.
I didn’t use LLM. Unfortunately change.org did this by itself. So what action do you do you get this ridiculous change undone? Or are you a person that can only handle a single decimal with no meaning? A lot of people follow the timing sheets and I as a fan of 20+ years, this change doesn’t allow me to properly understand the timing and gaps.
Please leave this petulant dogshit on reddit. There’s whole universe of possibilities between “melting down about a decimal change” and “can’t understand more than a single decimal.” You present it that way because you are a bad person who makes existing on the internet miserable.
There is a third answer, which is that you calm the fuck down, take no “action,” and just accept that sometimes things change and it’s not worth making yourself angry about. As a fan of 30 years, it changes quite literally nothing about how I understand timing and gaps.
Honestly the change is probably a good thing. With the changes to the cars themselves and the energy deployment dynamics “gaining” or “losing” hundreds of a second is quite literally meaningless.
That’s a really good point. I noticed that during the sprint, the gaps ebb and flow around the track much moreso than they did in the past.
