#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.
British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 16 July 1977.

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!)
📸: Pirelli

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!

#F1 QUALI LAP ANALYSIS - TEAMS 📊
🟩RUS could remain full-throttle way more than anyone else (lifting later, on gas sooner): that's how he got pole! 👌
🟦VER had the best top speed. He also had the best min speed in T3-T4 (aero efficiency ✅)

Given the chatter, here's something I wrote a couple of months ago showing how McLaren's brake duct arrangement has evolved during this reg set, whilst explaining how teams leverage heat transference from the brakes to the tyres via the wheel rims

The complexity of the diffusers air flow is captured by this video the floor striking the ground. With either the left side of right the symmetry changes. Together the tunnels air crash together is a highly complex interaction. There has been innovation to the keel area to try control this.
