03 / Method

Every second accounted for.

The supplied Sky Sports F1 race edit was reviewed shot by shot, then refined to exact 25 fps subsegments whenever the subject changed. These totals describe this specific feed; another broadcaster’s edit can differ.

Reconciled5,992.040 seconds

The credited editorial-focus timeline equals the complete race window exactly.

03

Presence

Every physically visible, individually identifiable car is credited; timing-tower text is excluded.

04

Uncertainty
