All season, I wrote in-depth, data analysis articles for every #F1 race weekend
They were supporter-only, but now they’re all free for everyone!
I won’t be able to continue these articles (for now), so I’m pausing all memberships: no one will be billed anymore

Kimi Antonelli was just 4 when Jenson Button pressed the DRS *button* for the first time in 2011
Yesterday, he became the last driver ever to use it!
He activated it in the final DRS zone of the final lap, hitting 330 km/h (but still couldn’t pass TSU)
Goodbye, DRS 🫡

At the end, Hulkenberg basically said: “Traffic? I don’t care”
*Proceeds to pass 5 cars in a DRS train in 8 laps*
Fatalities recorded: his teammate, one Mercedes, two Williams, and one Red Bull
“Traffic does not exist, it can’t hurt you!”

#F1 RACE PACE! 🏁
Four drivers had a pace within 0.1s of RUS's, whose brilliant first stint let him cruise in the second one!
Ferrari designed an issues-filled car: you’d expect them to fix them over the season, yet they’ve worsened. Both drivers had to run at backmarker pace at the end!

The wave of the future.
First World Championship appearance for Renault, a turbocharged engine & Michelin tyres. Jean-Pierre Jabouille debuted the RS01. The Frenchman rose to 16th before dropping back & retiring (turbo) on lap 16.

This is too pretty not to share. Working hard on the next version, sometimes the development feels extremely slow, but this definitely makes me smile. :) Anyway, hope you enjoy!

How strong can a tow be? What about 26km/h ON TOP of DRS?!?😳
BEA had the 4th lowest top speed in quali (no tows): ‘just’ 320km/h
Instead, he reached 346km/h while overtaking, although compared to quali:
-ERS deployment had to be managed more 🪫(‘Overtake mode’ in race?)
-Worse track conditions

AUSTRIA PREVIEW
C3-C5 compounds (as last year)
Optimal strategy was 2 stops (Starting on Mediums, alternating Mediums and Hards)
KEY FEATURES:
-700m altitude (~7% lower air density ➡️Less drag and downforce)
-Fewest corners (10), shortest laptime (1'02"939 pole in 2020!)

So... I did something😬
I'm teaming up with JMP to organise an F1-themed data analysis summer challenge!🤩
You'll analyse the data from an F1 race: laptimes, compounds, pit stops, speed traps, you name it!🏎️
Same data for everyone: may the best among you win!
