Live timing, telemetry and race strategy, right on your phone. No account, no ads, and your data stays on your device. LIVE TIMING Timing tower, driver tracker, race control feed and team radio in real time Team radio transcribed on-device, so audio never leaves your phone Optional F1TV login unlocks live car telemetry and live driver tracker PIT STOP PREDICTOR See whether a driver is likely to stop again, and roughly when Estimates update every lap from the live timing feed Runs on your device with a model trained on 70 races. No account, no saved history. TELEMETRY & RACE PACE Compare speed, brake, throttle and gear traces between any two laps, with a running time delta Box-and-whisker pace plots per driver and stint STRATEGY WHAT-IFS Ask in plain language: "Would a 3-stop have been faster?" "What if Max pitted 5 laps earlier?" Answers come from a tyre degradation and pace model, not from a language model guessing, so every number is grounded in real data Runs entirely on-device FIA DOCUMENTS Official race documents and bulletins, summarized on-device CHAMPIONSHIP & RACE STORY Schedule, results and standings, updated automatically each season A lap-by-lap position chart for every driver Circuit layouts for every race WEATHER & WIDGETS Track-level weekend forecasts Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets counting down to the next session Requires an Apple Intelligence-compatible device for on-device FIA summaries and the Strategy Assistant chatbot; both features degrade gracefully to non-AI views on other devices.
