Prior to the start of the Italian GP there was a shot into one of the
cockpits and the steering wheel had a computer display of the circuit. Any
idea what it is used for; presumably more than a little moving arrow that
says "you are here"!?
I spotted that too.
Later in the ITV coverage they talked about the teams having access to
sensors every 200metres on the track to tell them car position.
Is it possible that could be relayed to a driver and show him on the screen
where all the others were ?

PS: Or maybe when Michael's bored it lets him play Micro-Machines :-)

It wasn't a computer display but a basic sticker which a picture of the
track. Each corner has a number so the drivers have number of each corner
before them when speaking to mechanics...
Sounds basic but true.
