Seriously, why do they have to look at each others' data? It's not like they're trying to catch up to anyone. Yeah, share some of the data, data that helps improve the car, but not all. How is a driver to utilize their advantages in a race if the other guy knows when/how to use them?

Also, curious to see what people think about N.R. not getting a penalty for blowing that final chicane? L.H. went from being in the DRS zone to being out of it for the following four laps (also, more time to cook those brakes).
Thing to remember is that this is a team sport and that each team wants to do as well as possible with both cars so data sharing to maximise the performance of both cars makes complete sense.

The data is the team's data, it is not the driver's data and the team want to use as much information as possible to strengthen the position of both cars.
