Part 1 (Q1)

Screen 1 starts by showing all of the cars in the order of their numbers with the words IN PIT in the most recent lap time column. When they record a lap time they are put into the order of their lap time with the fastest at the top of the list.

Part 2 (Q2)

Lap and sector times for drivers eligible to take part in Q2 are put back into number order.

The drivers taking part in the session are put into performance order as soon as they set a lap time.

Lap and sector times for drivers eligible to take part in Q3 are put back into number order.

Drivers not eligible to take part in Q3 keep their lap and sector and remain in Q2 order. Their names and racing numbers turn grey.
