Position display isn't real-time, it will only update when the cars cross one of the transponder reading points. At Donington these are half way down Craner Curves, along the back straight (roughly where the old Dunlop bridge used to be), and at the finish line. There will be a similar set-up of 2 or 3 sectors ay every UK circuit.
If you want positions updated more often then it needs the circuits then it needs the circuits to install more update points, which obviously costs money. F1 has the clout to mandate that circuits do this, other series don't.
