Why are we still relying on outdated methods to track the exhilarating happenings of Formula 1 races? The recent development of the F1 Light Box, designed to keep fans informed on race status, is a glaring example of how tech can be both innovative and utterly unnecessary. As the season reaches its climax, do we really need a box lighting up to tell us what we already know? Are we so helpless that we can’t follow the race on our phones or TVs? This is just another gimmick to distract from the real issues in the sport. Instead of advancing the experience, we’re cluttering it with flashy novelties. If F1 wants to truly evolve, it needs to focus on the racing, not on gimmicky gadgets. Wake up, F1 fans! Let’s demand better! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/06/f1-light-box-helps-you-know-the-current-race-status/ #Formula1 #TechFail #InnovationNeeded #F1 #RaceDay
