bc I am bored another viz this time with VER as the reference that shows the same

I think saying he held the pack up is overstating the situation a bit when you actually look at how the gaps between the drivers developed throughout the race. bc nothing changed when he pitted and was no longer in the way. Esp. PIA was equally holiding RUS up bc he couldn't get close to HAM

more comparisons! HAMs last lap is also removed here. PIA really was nowhere in comparison.

Since the Ferraris were on opposite strategies I compared their fuel corrected* medium and soft stints. And the real difference in the race was the medium stint where HAM had more deg much earlier. Their soft stints are honestly surprisingly similar (HAMs last lap was removed for viz purposes)

Sorry to point out a factual error but according to the official FIA documents available on their website only HAMs car was disqualified for plank wear. LECs car was disqualified for not making the minimum weight requirement. A fairly simple thing to fact check.

As late add on to the radio discussion from yesterday I finally had a chance to check the technical regs and if there are any radios not Broadcast it's FOMs choice the teams have no say

FYI here you can see him both press the button and the light going on while he speaks and then he presses the button again because he is done. And this also shows the time delay.

it didn't happen but at least Ferrari asked. because that is what you usually do. you let one guy try and if it doesn't work you swap them back (but this is giving Brazil 22 RBR 😂 even though swapping now would've been harder) but I guess it is also a lession learnt for Leclerc

Charles and Lewis having different approches when it comes to at least some corners makes for very funny looking time deltas 😂 (also the gps data availble to us is not accurate enough to truly draw too many conclusions this is interpolated. but in this case it looks like it fits with the pedal data)

Um akshually @umakshually.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

I really need to add how much faster the hypothetical lap actually was. anyway, caveat for HAMs hypothetical lap: he got a massive tow for his fastest S3 which is where those -0.217s that the hypothetical lap is faster come from. for LEC the hypothetical lap would've been -0.048s faster than HAM

As I have a life again I'm messing around with my plots again. So as I update them to work with the fastf1 changes be prepared to be slowly bombarded with plots 😂

As the cherry on top of the absolute shit cake my last few months have been my parents had to put down our cat today. He was 16 and had a wonderful life but it just sucks extra because he is the only one I didn't get to say goodbye to.

That middle stint on mediums pace from Ferrari really shouldn't be underrated imo

Um akshually @umakshually.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

in more Ferrari related news it was also the same chicane (16-17) that allowed LEC to get ahead of RUS. However in this case it was LEC having a better exit out of 17 that made he difference

Um akshually @umakshually.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

it's even more jarring when you compare the two McLarens. NOR was up almost 3 tenths going into turn 16 and then just loses pretty much his entire advantage and only just barely manages to stay ahead.

121

Um akshually @umakshually.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

This really should've been such an easy Norris pole but he majorly messed up turn 16-17. he essentially loses everything on the entry into 16

My love, my light, my lord and saviour!!! We may have our disagreements at times (weird errors whose source I can't find) but I have to apologise for having taken you for granted!!! (Sorry I am going through it rn, this is a word induced mental breakdown)

000

Also I need help choosing a pasta symbol for Lewis for my plots Charles is gnocchi and Carlos used to be pipe.

230

I'm asking because (I am bored and) when you compare the 2 McLarens they're similar until the DRS opens and NOR is faster, if you compare them to LEC then PIA is faster until DRS opens and they are roughly the same, whereas NOR is consistently faster the entire straight.

And the fastest laps of FP2 the little black dots would be their ideal lap time if it was different from their actual fastest lap time

060

also for FP2 a little overview over the race sims of some drivers. there isn't too much to interpret or to say other than that Leclercs average is influences by those two much slower laps. But as I did not watch I do not know why they were slower.

in honour of the first FP2 session of the season I actually made some plots so here is an overview of the FP2 session. If you zoom in close you can see who set what lap time when

this is an example of which part of which track ended up falling into what cluster. the shitty table is just the means for each cluster for each track. but this at least shows it's not entirely arbitrary 😂
