WTAF?

First come first served for Russell - nice to see a merc in the mix though. Think it’s still Max tomorrow based on that last quali lap + conditions. Gonna hold thumbs for rain during the race.

Have to add a 4th decimal

No, just read it as <1mS
The timing system doesn't do Nano Seconds so it is no good displaying another 0.

I think he's saying they need to upgrade the timing system

The timing system can measure Nanoseconds but the rules say that all times will only be measured to the Millisecond. Probably because any instrument has a margin of error so it is common to ignore the least significant digit.

After all it has only ever happened once before, In 1997, during qualifying for the Grand Prix of Europe, Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen put down the exact same qualifying time of 1:21.072

First comes microseconds, then nanoseconds.
I doubt the system they use can measure nanoseconds.

Could have been worse if i said peco

I believe they measure four decimals but "round to thousandths because of regulations".

I can't remember where I read that, probably Reddit.

Yup.

“All times are measured to an astonishing standard of accuracy: displays routinely show 1000ths of a second, though the system actually measures 10,000ths for extra accuracy.”
