There have already been several occasions this year when the public timing screens have not been available and the official app is not immune from the same glitches. Then there is the sticking point of the reliability of FOM’s services. This app is much more at home on a tablet. On an iPhone 5 I found the 3D view unusably small and constantly had to scroll up and down the timing screen. With so much information available the bigger the screen you’ve got the more useful the app is. But although I find Twitter a very useful service during race weekends (and post hundreds of updates to it during sessions on F1 Fanatic Live) it’s hard to credit a paid app for including a service which is available for free. The latest version of the app also incorporates Twitter feeds and allows you to add your own. However quite a few of the pages present the same information in different ways, so that I found I relied almost exclusively on the main timing page when using it. In every area the official app brings you a step closer to the level of detail the teams get on the pit wall. If you’re unable to watch a session live you have the option of re-playing them and pause, rewind and forward through them. The 3D maps which show the positions of each car run more smoothly than before, with data updates being fed in between two and five seconds.

Sectors times are given to three decimal places, each driver’s top speed in each sector is shown along with and – most usefully – live tyre information.įlip between pages and you can see breakdowns of which tyres each driver has used during the session, instant ‘perfect lap’ calculations and more. Is the latest iteration a genuinely useful application of new technology – or just another shiny product on which to slap the F1 logo and an unrealistic price tag?įor those familiar with F1.com’s live timing page – still running on creaking, bug-riddled Java – the main timing page on the official app is a substantial improvement. The appearance of an official Live Timimg App a few years ago signalled a shudder of movement in F1’s glacially slow progress into the 21st century. Formula One Management’s relationship with YouTube goes no further than barking orders at them to take videos of F1 racing down to ensure the sport remain a secret from a generation of young fans. High definition broadcasts arrived six years after NASCAR’s. So it’s an incredible annoyance.Formula One has, for the most part, been embarrassingly slow to embrace new technology. This error occurs after about every two races you watch. However, with subsequent updates it’s been made worse to where you have to go as far as to delete the app and start over by re installing and signing in all over again. You used to be able to sign out and sign back in to fix it and get the streaming to work again. The only way to fix it is to completely delete the app and reinstall. Please check your connection and try again.” This is a constant error, that’s hasn’t been fixed in numerous updates and has nothing to do on the user side. Be prepared for “the current network connection maybe effecting your experience. Lots of errors pop up attempting to stream. For $100 streaming subscription per year you would think they would figure out a way to get stable app performance. I have emailed F1 support numerous times with my issues. This app hasn’t worked right since it was launched. How does a media company allow this garbage app? ğull exclusive access to Live Timing Data, Maps and Analysis.
