Why would they even want to do this? And why would the drivers agree? It's personal information I wouldn't want the world to know.
It's been done in other categories, and while I don't really see a problem with it if the drivers have the ability to opt out of they want, I also don't see the point.
The V8 Supercars used to put it up along with cabin temperature etc. It was more interesting to see that the cabin was 50+ degrees C all race than it was to see that a very fit athlete was rocking 200bpm during strenuous exercise (aka mid race)
I think, It needs to be for everyone, or no-one. Let's say you see the heart rate of Norris in a battle with Max, but you don't see Max's heartrate. It is not only confusing but also annoying.
