This change to single decimal on the timing sheets is ridiculous. It adds absolutely nothing and does not provide clear information about whether a car is improving per lap.

I have created a petition to return to 3 decimal places like it has been for over 20 years.

Please share and sign to put a stop to this idiocracy.

Honestly the change is probably a good thing. With the changes to the cars themselves and the energy deployment dynamics “gaining” or “losing” hundreds of a second is quite literally meaningless.
