It gives the impression of a stress indicator, so that the audience can try and guess the drivers mental state.
But we know the drivers mental state. They’re on high alert, lots of adrenaline and trying to endure the phsyical discomfort of going 300 km/h in a uncomfortable car and experiecing G-forces.
Someone else pointed out that it could be interesting while they battle eachother (see if it impacts one more than the other), but that’s about it. I think we all know the feeling of “don’t fuck up now”. The drivers do get coaching and training to change that feeling, but still.
