F1 to relaunch old timing app after complaints

Formula One has launched a live timing application on IOS and Android following its new update that received mass criticism from F1 fans.

The update meant that the version of the app only showed seven of the drivers instead of the 20 drivers on the grid and this meant there was some angry fans.

However, F1 have acted with this admitting that they made a "mistake" and have now gone back to the previous version of the app.

"The launch of our new F1 app didn't quite live up to your expectations, and live timing didn't deliver the great mobile F1 experience you previously enjoyed," a statement read.

"We take feedback from our fans seriously. So when some of you said you preferred the Live Timing service in our old app, we decided to revive this functionality in its own dedicated app. The new F1 app will still be available alongside this new addition.

"Now you can again get access to all the data at once during any race. Monitor all 20 drivers as they barrel down the track. Don't miss one bit of action. You'll get the whole lot. The full scope. Viewable on any mobile device or tablet equipped with either Android or IOS."

You can download the app on the respected App Stores on Android or IOS.
