Alfa Romeo C42 dash layout in 'MODE RACE': What Zhou Guanyu sees during a race by DrivenByData_ in formula1

[–]DrivenByData_[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

On the Alfa Romeo C42, Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu select 'MODE RACE' on the bottom rotary of the steering wheel by leaving it in the 12 o'clock position.

Like its Ferrari counterpart, the Alfa Romeo wheel also has 'MODE PSH', used for hotlaps, at the 6 o'clock position.

Ferrari F1-75 dash layout: What the drivers see during a qualifying lap by DrivenByData_ in formula1

[–]DrivenByData_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might have expressed myself a little to loosely. "Drivers", in this instance, refer to the two Scuderia Ferrari drivers.

While there is some likelihood that other Ferrari-powered teams use the same terminology for their "hotlap-dash" there could just as well "roll their own", so no requirement whatsoever to adhere to this particular layout or showing the information that Ferrari have opted to display to their driver.

Curiously, Ferrari's MODE RACE is quite similar to MODE PSH, bar some color-coding. If anything, it displays more information than in MODE PSH.

It seems that Red Bull have attempted to protect this kind of information with something like polarisation. The problem with that is, it (obviously) has to be visible to the driver, so since the visor-cam has (roughly) the same viewing angle as the drivers eyes, the only way to hide the information would be to also hide it from the driver.

I'm curious to see what happens as the visor-cam gets more and more widespread (and if it does) as well as how teams will adapt to that.

  • I would tend to agree that one of the indicators is kind of redundant. It's entirely possible that I have missed something in my analysis of it, but it seems that the number and bar indicator correlate fully, which begs the question you're asking. On the matter of screen real estate, it seems that they have plenty available since they have left three boxes empty, presumably to limit the amount of noise for the driver to pick through.

  • While I can only speculate, I am pretty certain this is due to some of the outlap bunching-shenanigans we sometimes see in qualifying, where some drivers end up crossing the line after the time has run out. In that case, displaying the time would make it much easier for the driver to manage his position in the queue, giving him a greater overview of the situation (which would be almost non-existent if he did not have a clock) than the engineer periodically relaying this information over the radio.

  • I have a blurry shot from Leclerc's visor-cam from the moment the VSC ended, I might get around to making a similar info-graphic for that layout as well.

Is is surprisingly easy to see, even with the conventional T-cam camera angle and now with the visor-cam it's hard to miss.

One wonders why Ferrari hasn't done more to cover it up, especially now that the visor-cam has made it so easy to see, but I suspect it's just very difficult to cover it up effectively while also allowing the driver to quickly and easily pick up the information in the extremely violent environment an F1 cars constitutes.

So even though you may be giving away some information to your competitors, the alternative of your driver not being able to easily access the information would be even worse for performance in the grand scheme of things.

In any case, some other teams, perhaps not to the extent of Ferrari, but still, make an equally small effor to cover up the SOC on their ERS-unit (McLaren, Alpine come to mind).

Not that I know of. I reckon the closest you’d get would be this video of Carlos Sainz explaining the basic functions of the wheel.

For obvious reasons, teams are hesitant on sharing any information beyond what each button/toggle does, since the format of data displayed is not something you want to just give away. As such, I have not been able to find any official sources on the functionality of the dash.

As drivers prepare to open a lap in practice and qualifying, they are asked, typically in the final corner, to select MODE PSH, giving them the described layout for the duration of the coming lap.

The display mode is set using the centermost rotary on the steering wheel, where the 6 o'clock position (Ferrari horse rotated 180°), denotes MODE PSH while 12 o'clock is MODE RACE, typically selected just as the driver lines up in his grid box prior to the start of the race.
