F1 Helper has been rebuilt from the ground up. The F1 calendar, standings, race results and driver pages you already use are still here — now faster and easier to scan on any screen.
What is new on F1 Helper?
- Live timing with a timing tower, tyre stints, race control messages and track weather
- Race weekend pages with every session, results, pit stops and circuit facts, starting from the season overview
- Team pages and championship progression charts
- A calendar feed you can subscribe to in your calendar app
Every session time is shown in your local time zone, and you can switch to track time with one click. Read how to watch F1 in your time zone for the details.
Where does the data come from?
Schedules, results and standings come from the Jolpica API, live timing from OpenF1, and weather forecasts from MET Norway. F1 Helper is an unofficial fan project and is not associated with Formula 1 or the FIA.
