PitWall is your control tower for every Grand Prix weekend — live timing, historical stats, and predictions in one clean, fast app. LIVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND • Qualifying, live: driver state (out lap, hot lap, cool down), last-lap times, gaps to the cut line, and who's really on a flying lap. • Race, live: positions, real intervals between cars, a TV-style battle bar that shows who's closing in, tyres, pit stops and sector times. • Practice, live: timing and best laps as the session unfolds. LOCK SCREEN LIVE ACTIVITY Follow the leader — or any driver you pick — right from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, updating in real time even with the app closed. ALWAYS UP TO DATE Countdown to the next session in your local time, full weekend schedule, last-race results, and live driver and constructor standings. CIRCUITS Explore all the season's tracks with GPS-drawn maps, sector breakdowns, lap records and technical profiles. HEAD-TO-HEAD Compare any two drivers across their careers and at a specific circuit. DESIGNED TO GLANCE A flat, monospace, no-nonsense interface built to read at a glance — during a session you want data, not decoration. Now fully available in English and Italian. PitWall is an unofficial app and is not affiliated with Formula 1, the FIA, or any team. "F1" and "Formula 1" are used descriptively.

P1TW4ll brings to your screen what a pit wall follows: the official Formula 1 timing data, live during sessions, and every archived session since 2024 the rest of the year. SEASON The year's calendar: past Grands Prix with their podium, the next session with its countdown, the drivers' and constructors' championship standings after the latest race. Tap a Grand Prix for its sessions, final classification and fastest lap, then replay any session with one tap. Previous seasons are available, as published in the Formula 1 archive. REPLAY An archived session plays back as if live: leaderboard, cars on the track, race control messages, team radio and telemetry, at their original pace, at single, double or quadruple speed, with a scrubber to jump to the start, a pit stop or the last lap. No account needed. LIVE LEADERBOARD Positions, gap to the leader and interval to the car ahead, last lap, sector times with the usual colour code (purple for the session best, green for a personal best), tyre compound, number of stops, pit lane status. In practice, the best lap and its lap number; in qualifying, the eliminated rows and the cut-off zone of each part. TRACK IN 2D AND 3D Cars move on the circuit layout, with corner numbers and the start line. The 3D view rebuilds the track elevation; the camera rotates, tilts and zooms with your fingers or the mouse. Tap a driver in the leaderboard to spot the car on the track. STRATEGY Each driver's tyre stints on a timeline, pit stops with their duration, lap-by-lap positions, fastest laps and best sectors, overtakes. TELEMETRY For the driver of your choice: speed, gear, engine revs, throttle, brake and DRS, as instant values and as traces over the last one or two minutes. RACE CONTROL AND TEAM RADIO Race control messages arrive throughout the session, coloured by flag: yellow, red, green, safety car. The team radio messages published by Formula 1 play with one tap. The status bar shows the current flag, the safety car status, the time remaining and the current lap; the weather (air, track, humidity, wind, pressure, rain) stays visible. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Four tabs: Season, Session, Strategy, Telemetry. In Session, on iPhone and iPad, three pages are browsed with a swipe: Leaderboard, Track, Messages. On Mac, everything fits in one window. Monospaced figures, dark background, readable from a distance. The interface is in French. F1 TV SUBSCRIPTION Everything works without an account, replay included. Live, Formula 1 restricts car positions and telemetry to its F1 TV subscribers: sign in from the app, on the Formula 1 website, with your own account. The app never stores a password; only the subscription token is kept, in the device keychain, and it is renewed by signing in again. PRIVACY No data is collected by the publisher: no account, no tracker, no advertising. P1TW4ll is an independent app, not affiliated with Formula One Licensing B.V., the FIA or F1 TV. The data is the data broadcast by Formula 1; its availability depends on Formula 1.
