Something that most people don’t tend to adhere to is SI units (MB, GB…) Are base 10, or a simple 1000 of each other. If you’re multiplying by 1024, you’re dealing with Mibibytes, Gibibytes etc, or MiB GiB etc in their short IEC form.
It’s been done in other categories, and while I don’t really see a problem with it if the drivers have the ability to opt out of they want, I also don’t see the point.
The V8 Supercars used to put it up along with cabin temperature etc. It was more interesting to see that the cabin was 50+ degrees C all race than it was to see that a very fit athlete was rocking 200bpm during strenuous exercise (aka mid race)
