What tools do play-by-play sports announcers have to help them identify players on the field when it’s sometimes so hard to see even on a giant screen?

In Formula One (auto racing), there are ten teams, each with two cars painted the same way. So the problem becomes telling which car is which for any given team.
At the very top of a Formula One car, above the air intake, there is an assembly, called the T-bar, which houses a couple of cameras to provide an onboard view.
For each team, one car will have a black T-bar, and the other car will have bright yellow patches all over the T-bar. This is how you can tell which driver is which in a team. Typically the “primary“ driver in a team will have a black T-bar, and the other driver will have all the yellow patches on their T-bar.
