They use it to get data, but I'm not 100% sure which data.

Those are ride hight sensors, they messure varience in the suspension and how it performs under loads. Very common when testing suspension set up. It is, effectively, an optical mouse tracking sensor. So it can do height, distance, yaw angle, speed, and probably a couple more outside of the box. Then you put all of that data to interpolate it with the regular telemetry data, and you can make a lot more sense of a lot of data points.

Gus Greensmith on his Monte PET:

I just got back from two days testing in Monaco, it was really good, went really well, really positive by the end of the day, I think all the footage looked really sideways, but for me, Monaco it’s quite important to be confident with the car, rather than finding the ultimate setup and time, you’ve just got to be confident in changing conditions, so that day was about throwing it in, I did it last year, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t work again.

Warren Nel

I said that fans had been watching the testing videos which had been posted online and were saying how the car looks quite lairy and sideways.

Gus Greensmith

Yeah, people love it and it’s not the fastest way, but unfortunately when you’re driving in Monaco you’ve just got to be prepared to throw it into a corner that’s going to have no grip in it what-so-ever, so we have to send it in, and I want to be the fastest person transitioning from tarmac to the ice, and that’s why in the test you saw me throwing the car around from corner to corner, I want to when I get here I know exactly what’s it going to be like before anyone else.
