Built like a pit wall, for anyone who watches.

Lap Duel

Two laps. Every metre compared.

F1 telemetry, lap against lap: speed, throttle, brake, gear and RPM traced side by side, with the running gap and a track map that shows who is quicker through each mini-sector.

  • Corner-by-corner time lost
  • Aligned to official sector times
  • Any two laps, any session since 2023

  • Scrub to any moment
  • Pit stops and incidents on the timeline
  • Every race since 2023, up to 64× speed

  • Pit-loss and undercut maths
  • Every race since 2023

Race Engineer

Ask what you'd ask your race engineer.

Plain-English questions become typed tool calls, answered instantly in your browser with no account and no API key. The page changes as it works, so you see where each answer comes from.

  • “Where did Piastri lose time to Norris?”
  • “Who was leading on lap 30?”
  • “Most wins in the 90s”
  • “Tell me about Jim Clark”
  • “Show me turn 11”

WebMCP

Your AI can drive it too.

WebMCP is a proposed web standard that lets an AI agent in your browser use a site's own tools, instead of guessing at buttons. Unbox Box registers 27 typed tools, the same ones its buttons and the Race Engineer call, so you can watch every step your agent takes happen on screen.

  1. 01

    You ask your agent

    “Compare Norris and Piastri’s qualifying laps”

  2. 02

    WebMCP

    The browser hands the agent Unbox Box’s tool list

  3. 03

    A typed tool call

    compare_laps({ driverA: "NOR", driverB: "PIA" })

  4. 04

    The page changes

    Lap Duel opens on both laps, as if you had clicked

Set it up

  1. 1Use Chrome 146 or newer. For local testing, turn on chrome://flags/#enable-webmcp-testing and relaunch.
  2. 2Open Unbox Box. When the API is present, the Race Engineer header shows WebMCP as connected and all tools are registered with document.modelContext.
  3. 3Ask your browser agent something like "compare Norris and Piastri’s qualifying laps". Each call it makes appears in the Race Engineer panel, and the page changes as if you had clicked.

Browser doesn't support WebMCP yet? The built-in Race Engineer answers the same questions with no setup.

Then ask your agent

  • “Compare Norris and Piastri’s qualifying laps”
  • “Show me turn 11 at Monza”
  • “Jump the replay to lap 30”
  • “Who has the most wins in the 1990s?”

Safe by design

  • 9 tools only read data; 18 change what is on screen, and nothing else.
  • Every call your agent makes is listed in the Race Engineer panel as it runs.
Which browsers support it?
Chrome 146 or newer, behind a flag (step 1 above) or on sites with an origin trial. WebMCP is still a proposal, so support may change.
Does it cost anything?
No. Unbox Box is free and has no account; you use whichever agent your browser offers.
Where do my questions go?
To your own agent, never to us. Unbox Box has no server: the tools run in your browser on the same public data you see.
