Formula 1's 'new tool' detected an 'angry mood' ahead of the Austrian GP. F1
F1’s chief technical officer Pat Symonds has revealed how analytical software showed fans were in “an angry mood” before the Austrian Grand Prix.
With Formula 1 going through a tumultuous period of change in 2022 as the sport rolled out revolutionary new technical regulations, as well as tinkering with sporting rule changes such as the introduction of Sprint Qualifying races in ’21, Symonds detailed how the software is used, and the interesting findings its use can lead to.
“And there we have really positive feedback, even compared to last year, although we didn’t have some of our analysis tools then. In the races where there was less overtaking, there were still more duels. Originally, we tried to read out from the body language of the spectators what they liked and didn’t like. Because that’s an honest statement. But it’s not so easy to get reliable results. That’s why we came up with an interesting new tool.
“I’ll give you an example: We registered a kind of angry mood before the start of the Austrian GP and wondered what in heaven might have happened there. After all, the race hadn’t even started yet. Upon analysis, we found that people were upset about flares!”
