Grid Copilot: F1 Live Alerts On Your Phone

F1 alerts that explain what just happened on track. Pit strategy, safety cars, penalties and battles, as they happen. No jargon. No guessing.

Insights Delivered While You Watch

Not a prediction tool, a companion built on years of race data that sends push notifications with the "why" as the drama unfolds on your screen.

Alert Types

Undercut Alerts

Pitting early for new tyres can jump a driver ahead of a rival. You'll know when it's happening.

Safety Car Impact

When the Safety Car comes out, everything changes. We tell you who wins and who loses.

Strategy Battles

Two cars fighting for position. We track who's closing in and when an overtake is coming.

Penalty Implications

A penalty doesn't always drop a driver. We calculate exactly what it means for their race.

Still Stuck

Some battles go on for laps with nothing happening. We tell you when a driver is truly trapped.

Missed Virtual Safety Car

Missing a free pit stop under a safety car can be one of the most costly mistakes in F1. We flag it instantly.

Battle Over

When a battle finally ends, we tell you who came out ahead and how long it took.

Cover Stop

Sometimes a driver pits just to stop the car behind from jumping them. We explain why.
