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.
My post on the F1 Reddit got removed so perhaps someone else can share this on Reddit.

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

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? A lot of people follow the timing sheets and I as a fan of 20+ years, this change doesn't allow me to properly understand the timing and gaps.

Honestly the change is probably a good thing. With the changes to the cars themselves and the energy deployment dynamics “gaining” or “losing” hundreds of a second is quite literally meaningless.

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.
