Formula 1 says it will need to be ‘careful’ in how it treats the live broadcasting of drivers’ heart rates if plans to display biometric data get the green light.

    It’s been done in other categories, and while I don’t really see a problem with it if the drivers have the ability to opt out of they want, I also don’t see the point.

    The V8 Supercars used to put it up along with cabin temperature etc. It was more interesting to see that the cabin was 50+ degrees C all race than it was to see that a very fit athlete was rocking 200bpm during strenuous exercise (aka mid race)

      I think, It needs to be for everyone, or no-one. Let’s say you see the heart rate of Norris in a battle with Max, but you don’t see Max’s heartrate. It is not only confusing but also annoying.
