The official FIA media

Post

Just a simple question:

Is it possible to watch that stream what they have on the bottom left?

I did the screen where you can quite clearly see the IP.

It's very much possible that what you see here is an IP address of a dedicated server, and it's a dedicated application too. Which is probably not free :) I think teams pay for this weather forecast, so you can't watch it free, you probably have to have a user name+password to access it.
Other possibility is that it's a server located on track, and it provides weather data to teams. In that case the entire communication to that server may not be avaliable on the internet at all.
It's not worth even trying to access that IP IMHO.

I reckon that 239.255.12.47 is an internal IP Address of the FOM or team network at the race location. It is not traceable with whois.

All weather data is suplied by Meteo France and is on a internal F1 team intra-net.

However, you can find other weather radar sites that give you the data for the track on the internet.

The reason that all the teams have the same wether data is for cost reasons, up untill 2004/2005 all the teams used to have diffrent weather streams, costing them millions, in 2004 6 teams signed up to a "universal information aggreement" and all pooled the weather info and other various data from outside agencies. It workds so well that from 2007 all teams had to use a standardised data system for weather.

Heres the system that the FIA probably use: http://www.mfi.fr/en/

Id recon this is only accessable to the teams.

It's pretty funny you guys think that rtp ip on a completely different window has anything to do with the weather. If you get a wider screenshot you will see that its actually an rtp video stream to the fia broadcast.
