TELOS News publishes written analysis after each Grand Prix, drafted from the same session data that powers the platform — official timing via OpenF1, championship data via Jolpica. Every figure in a piece comes from those feeds; none are model-generated. Where a piece is AI-drafted it says so, and before publication it is either reviewed by an editor or fact-checked claim by claim against the data it was written from.
