Petition to go back to 3 decimal places on timing screen - Lemmy.zip

This change to single decimal on the timing sheets is ridiculous. It adds absolutely nothing and does not provide clear information about whether a car is improving per lap. I have created a petition to return to 3 decimal places like it has been for over 20 years. Please share and sign to put a stop to this idiocracy. https://c.org/nsBmFkdbWB [https://c.org/nsBmFkdbWB] My post on the F1 Reddit got removed so perhaps someone else can share this on Reddit.

Did the mods remove it because you used an LLM to generate the petition description? Because creating a non-binding Change.org petition is textbook slacktivism?

I didn’t use LLM. Unfortunately change.org did this by itself. So what action do you do you get this ridiculous change undone? Or are you a person that can only handle a single decimal with no meaning?

Ah change.org, the website most famously known for not changing anything ever.

I acttually like 2 decimal places for race timing and 3 for qualifiers. Improvements in the race are measured in 10ths of a second, so a further decimal place gives you all you need. For qualifiers you get as much precision as you can. In any case, one decimal place is stupid and should be improved.

I agree with your arguement, but think 1 decimal is fine and make the list more glanceable. Looking at 100ths going up and down “arbitaraily” is not giving me info. If I want to follow a head to head more in detail I need more info like Multiviewers race trace.
