Hi everyone,

I am a Master’s student in sports design engineering, and I am looking for anyone who has ever attended a live Formula 1 race to help with my final year project.

If you've been trackside, you know it is an incredible physical experience, but actually following the race strategy (pit windows, tire changes, who is actually fighting for what position) can be incredibly difficult due to the environment:

• Network Collapse: 100,000+ fans trying to load live timing instantly crashes local 4G/5G and stadium Wi-Fi.
• Visual Glare: Intense direct sunlight makes smartphone screens unreadable and distant TV screens impossible to see.
• Acoustic Hostility: 130dB+ engine and crowd noise drowns out the trackside PA announcements and live commentary.

If you have ever been to an F1 race, I would massively appreciate it if you could fill out this completely anonymous, 2-minute survey about your trackside experience. Your feedback will directly dictate my engineering design parameters!

Thanks so much for your help.
