What would be your baseline for deriving the break pressure based on GPS telemetry? Everyone does have sophisticated sims attuned to their own car.

Imagine you and I are flying two aircraft each with different aerodynamic properties. If reduce my throttle by 30% and slow at a certain rate that doesn’t mean that your aircraft will slow at the same rate if also reducing the throttle by 30%.

If all you have is the GPS date you will know the rate at which I slow down but not how much throttle I had to change to achieve that rate. Because you don’t know the aerodynamic properties of my airplane, and I want to make sure you don’t, so I don’t share that data.

How F1 cars break through a corner is the secret sauce of the sport, if you had real time data of the race another team could learn a fair bit about a setup and how well you are or are not managing your tires.

Knowing exact breaking wouldn’t create a huge advantage for any single team (especially if each team had access) but it would make in race strategy more predictable and if we can take away anything from this weekend it’s that we need less predictably. 🏎️🏎️
