I really don't know what data they could provide tbh.

The timing system is used to determine the speed over the timing loops at pit entry. I would think that any info pulled out of the timing system (other than the on screen readout of speed) would consist of lines of computer code.

Ultimately the meeting on Monday is for DJRTP to understand how the team got it wrong so that the team can make any changes necessary for the future.

As the timing system is accurate to 1/10000 of a sec, it is clearly a very accurate regime, probably more accurate at measuring actual speed between 2 points than any on-board data.
