Hellooooo it's me. Been sitting on this thought for a while, but I wanted to talk about the new on-screen data graphics that F1 is using to give 'insight'. They... haven't been popular.

Are F1's Data Insights with AWS actually bad?

Very well put together, and I totally agree with you. More info can be good, and while that example of the Norris gap staying on screen was awesome, my issue with a lot of the information is it doesn't tell us anything. Even if I knew what the car performance numbers really meant, what do they really tell me? It's meaningless information as far as I can tell, in terms of what I'm watching. I know team X is faster than team Y... the only time I could see something like that being a good tidbit of information is if a faster car was stuck behind someone else, and they could show that, while they're faster on 70% of the lap, their car struggles in low-speed corners, letting the car they're chasing get a good gap before the straight and next passing opportunity. I'm hopeful that the more they have this information, the more they learn how to use it and present it at times where it's actually relevant.

Yeah it's definitely one thing to have the data and some visual frameworks; it's a whole other thing to be on the ball and have everything in the right place at the right time, live. It's not an easy job but I do think they've been much better at it this year than last.

The driver ranking is just absurd. Teams and drivers using it for contract negotiation....ooof
