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 puts on your screen what a pit wall watches: the official Formula 1 timing data, live during every session, and every session archived since 2024 for the rest of the year. SEASON The year's calendar: past Grands Prix with their podium, the next session with a countdown, and the drivers' and constructors' championship standings after the latest race. Tap a Grand Prix to see its sessions, final classification and fastest lap, then replay any session with a single tap. Previous seasons are available too, as published in the Formula 1 archive. REPLAY An archived session plays back as if it were live: leaderboard, cars on track, race control messages, team radio and telemetry, at their original pace or at 2x and 4x speed, with a scrubber to jump to the start, a pit stop or the final lap. No account needed. LIVE LEADERBOARD Positions, gap to the leader and interval to the car ahead, last lap, sector times with the familiar color code (purple for the session best, green for a personal best), tyre compound, number of stops and pit lane status. In practice, each driver's best lap and the lap it was set on; in qualifying, the eliminated drivers and the drop zone of each part. TRACK IN 2D AND 3D Cars move around the circuit layout, with corner numbers and the start line. The 3D view rebuilds the track's elevation; rotate, tilt and zoom the camera with your fingers or a mouse. Tap a driver in the leaderboard to spot the car on track. STRATEGY Every driver's tyre stints on a timeline, pit stops with their duration, lap-by-lap positions, fastest laps and best sectors, and overtakes. TELEMETRY For the driver of your choice: speed, gear, engine revs, throttle, brake and DRS, as live values and as traces over the last one or two minutes. RACE CONTROL AND TEAM RADIO Race control messages arrive throughout the session, colored by flag: yellow, red, green, Safety Car. Team radio published by Formula 1 plays with a tap. The status bar shows the track flag, Safety Car status, time remaining and current lap; the weather (air and track temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, rain) stays in view. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Four tabs: Season, Session, Strategy and Telemetry. In Session, on iPhone and iPad, swipe between three pages: Leaderboard, Track and Race Control. On iPhone Duo, the leaderboard and the track sit on either side of the fold. On Mac, everything fits in a single window. Monospaced figures and a dark background, readable from across the room. The interface is available in English and French. F1 TV SUBSCRIPTION Everything works without an account, replay included. For live sessions, Formula 1 restricts car positions and telemetry to 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 you renew it by signing in again. PRIVACY The developer collects no data: no account, no tracking, no ads. P1TW4ll is an independent app, not affiliated with Formula One Licensing B.V., the FIA or F1 TV. The data shown is the data broadcast by Formula 1, and its availability depends on Formula 1.
