Formula 1 Timing Screens Explained
By Brad Spurgeon, About.com Guide
At the start of the practice sessions on Friday and Saturday at a Grand Prix race the cars appear on the screen in the order of the number of the car. When they leave the pit lane they are shown in the order in which they leave. When they record a lap time, they appear in the order of the lap time, with the fastest lap at the top of the time screen. The drivers' names are abbreviated, on the left.
