HUL (321km/h) and HAM (320) reached the highest top speeds in the race๐Ÿ“ˆ

VER (309km/h) and TSU (308) were slowest ๐Ÿ“‰

Not by chance, as the same happened in qualifying (everyone uses DRS, no close tows): Merc and Haas fastest, RedBull and RacingBulls slowest

Thatโ€™s why Charles Leclerc couldnโ€™t overtake RUS! ๐Ÿ’ก

McL and RedBull were quickest in the fastest corner (best downforce), and slowest in the straights (most drag).

Fastest corner, time difference and min speed (Quali):
๐ŸŸ McL Quickest, 215km/h
๐Ÿ”ตRB +0.015s, 215
โšซ๏ธMerc: 0.023s, 211
๐Ÿ”ดFerrari: +0.033s. 213 (lost to Merc despite higher min. speed)

Top speeds:
โšซ๏ธMercedes 317km/h
๐Ÿ”ดFerrari 316
๐ŸŸ McL/๐Ÿ”ตRB: 313

Ferrariโ€™s numbers would have looked better had they not missed Q3.

Among the top 4 teams, Mercedes had the worst season start (just 124 points in races 1 to 9), but RedBull the worst season end (174 points in races 10-18: less than 20 per race).

In the last 9 races, McLaren totalled 304 points, 3 more than RedBull's season-start streak.

Ferrari has scored over twice Mercedes' point in the first half of the season, yet they were outscored in the second half.

McLaren did NOT maximise their downforce in Singapore: their aerodynamic load was high enough that they could afford to trade part of it to reduce drag.

In FP2, Medium-high load wing for NOR, vs Maximum load wing for PIA.

PIA lost ~3km/h on all straights (~3% more drag) but could maintain 3km/h more on the fastest corner (~3% more lateral acceleration, or ~0.15g).

In the end, they prioritised not increasing the car's already high drag... and they dominated the race.

POINTS - 2024 vs 2023 (After 18 races)

McLaren: 242โžก๏ธ516 (more than double!)
Ferrari has improved significantly (but '23 was underwhelming): 322โžก๏ธ441 (+119)

Merc lost 15 points (344โžก๏ธ329), yet form is strong

Red Bull lost 231 points: they had 706pts last year after 18 races!

2023 vs 2024
MINIMUM SPEED AT TURN 18 (DOWNFORCE) AND TOP SPEED (DRAG)

๐ŸŸขMercedes got worse in T18 (-1km/h): less loaded wingsโžก๏ธTremendous top speed gain (+6km/h, worst to best)!

๐Ÿ”ตRBR and ๐ŸŸ McL gained downforce keeping drag the same, but McL's improvement was 5 times RBR's!

๐Ÿ”ดFerrari improved both downforce (+3km/h in T18) and drag (+1km) over SAI's '23 pole despite not setting a Q3 lap in '24.

QUALI PERFORMANCE EVOLUTION ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ”ตRBR's performance has changed drastically since Monaco: from 'almost guaranteed' poles to struggling for 2nd row

๐ŸŸ McL was 5th fastest in the opening quali, and has steadily and quickly improved since.

๐Ÿ”ดHas Ferrari's Canada-to-Zandvoort slump ended?

๐ŸŸขMercedes has been very inconsistent.
Aston has gotten progressively worse until Austria, but their single-lap pace has recently improved.

When will Red Bull's struggles end?
Will Aston fight for wins again next year?
And will Ferrari win again this season? ๐Ÿค”

Will F1 ever match 2008's 'Aero-craziness'?

Most cars had a 'Bridge wing': an additional plane joining the endplates ABOVE the nose.

It produced additional downforce, albeit less efficiently than a wing closer to the road (no ground effect).

Tons of dirty air yet cool to watch!

As the rules raised the front wing from the ground starting from 2005, the downforce it produced was hampered.

Bridge wings are one of the ingenious ways engineers used to claw back the lost downforce.

Verstappen is still the favourite for the championship - but Norris has more than 1/3 chance to win his first F1 championship! ๐Ÿ’ก

US GP PREVIEW

Very representative track (One long straight, many fast corners, 2 slow hairpins, 2 strong braking zones): any weakness will be exposed!

Quick in Austin = Quick everywhere

C2-C3-C4 compounds
Balanced Front/Rear wear
Aero efficiency (Downforceโฌ†๏ธ, Dragโฌ‡๏ธ) is key.

๐ŸคฏThe craziest #F1 stat you'll see today:

Back in Miami, Lando Norris and McLaren had a TINY 1% probability of winning their respective championships!
(Less than Ferrari now: 2.7%!) ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

RedBull's chances of a WCC progressively declined from 92.6% to just 9.2%.๐Ÿ“‰

VER is still the WDC favourite (58.9%), but it's almost a coin toss now! Austin will be decisive ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Thanks, @oddschecker team, for contacting me and providing this data! ๐Ÿค

The โ€˜Implied Probabilityโ€™ is given by the payouts for each bet made before the start of the GP.

E.g. if by betting 1$ you get 2$ in case your prediction is correct then the probability is 1$/2$=0.5=50%.

The bookmakerโ€™s advantage has been removed: their sum is therefore 100%.

FP1 DATA

Ferrari got a 1-2 finish by being the only team competitive in all sectors ๐Ÿ‘Œ

1) Ferrari cannot relax, though: VER was up to 15km/h quicker than SAI in the fast corners 3 to 7, exhibiting excellent downforce!

RedBull can still recover their 2km/h top speed deficit via a more powerful PU mode, while it will be hard for Ferrari to match RedBull in the fast corners.

2) BEST SECTORS
- S1: No surprise that VER was quickest there. LEC was just 0.01s behind though, as he gained on the straights and in Turn 1. McL struggled.
- S2 was McL's best sector (and VER's worst).
- S3: Ferrari's best sector.
