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.
