Practice Sessions

Free Practice 1

Analysis

The First Analysis show us the Driver Race Pace for all the laps when the flag was Green(i.e Track Status was 1). The filter below it provides us the legend for drivers.

Here we plotted Drivers on the x-axis and Lap Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we made a box plot with the median of all Lap Times and Sorted it according to the Median.

We can see that Stroll had the fastest Pace followed by Leclerc, then Alonso and then Verstappen. And the worst Race Pace was shown by Magnussen and Devries. We can see that constantly devries is having worst performances which is not a good sign for a driver who is a champion in Formula E and had a driven for some big teams in F1 before for testing.

Delta Time

The second Analysis is Delta Time Analysis for the fastest laps of Russell, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen and Sainz. Russell had the fastest time out of all hence he is taken as the 0 line value and all the others lines are the gap at that specific distance from Russell's time. The Lines are colored according to Driver their legend is below the anlysis only.

Results

The third Analysis show us the fastest laps of all drivers and the gap and the positions are decided as the minimum lap time being on top and the least in the bottom.

Team Race Pace Comparison

The Fourth Analysis show us the Team Race Pace for all the laps when the flag was Green(i.e Track Status was 1). The filter below it provides us the legend for Teams.

Here we plotted Teams on the x-axis and Lap Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we made a box plot with the median of all Lap Times and Sorted it according to the Median.

Ferarri had the fastest race pace followed by Aston Martin than RedBull. And the worst Race pace is shown by Hass. One surprise is that Alfa Romeo who is constantly performing as the third worst team had the fourth best race pace in Miami GP FP1. Maybe they have find a good setup for Miami GP or was it that they pushed the most out of all the race will tell us that.

Free Practice 1(Part 2)

Weather Analysis

The First two Analysis show us the Weather Evolution throughout the session.

We can see that The Track Temp and Air Temp both were changing a little but for the most part they were constant. So, weather must have not affected the conditions much.

Tyre Degredation

The third Analysis show us the tyre degredation of all compounds throughout we can see as time goes on hard becomes faster and the soft and mediums are becoming slower.

Lap Time Evolution

The fourth Analysis is the Avg. Lap Time Evolution Throughout the laps done on different compounds of tyres we can see hards were slower than medium first but as the lap's went on hards become faster than the mediums and soft's were started to being used in the later half of the session..

Mclaren was showing good pace for the last 2 races and FP1 but now again they are at the back side of the grid. They would have to find their sweet spot fast or they can literally become one of the worst teams for this season.

Delta Time

The second Analysis is Delta Time Analysis for the fastest laps of Verstappen, Perez, Sainz, Leclerc and Alonso. Verstappen had the fastest time out of all hence he is taken as the 0 line value and all the others lines are the gap at that specific distance from Verstappen's time.

Free Practice 3(Part 2)

Weather Analysis

The First two Analysis show us the Weather Evolution throughout the session.

We can see that The Track Temp and Air Temp both were increasing gradually meaning decreased grip for the drivers and also the conditions to drive were becoming hotter and difficult.

Tyre Degredation

The third Analysis show us the tyre degredation of all compounds throughout we can see as time goes on hard becomes faster then the other compounds and the softs are becoming slower.

Lap Time Evolution

The fourth Analysis is the Avg. Lap Time Evolution Throughout the laps done on different compounds of tyres we can see hards and softs both were comparable and nothing much can be said as their were very less laps by hard tyres.

Qualifying Sessions

In the Center we Have the results of Qualifying Sorted according to the positions with driver times, driver numbers and broadcast names.

We also have plotted the telemetry(Speed and Gear) for Perez and Magnussen fastest laps in Q3. As Magnussen drives a Hass literally the worst team in F1 currently but he still placed in P4. So I wanted to see how he matched to the pole sitter for the race.

We also plotted the track domination of PER and MAG to find the sectors where Magnussen Dominated.

Also we showed the how track temperature and air temperature decreased gradually that means the driver had better grip as qualifying went on.

Race Analysis

Race Analysis

Driver Pace Analysis

Here we plotted Drivers on the x-axis and Lap Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we made a box plot with the median of all Lap Times and Sorted it according to the Median.

We can see that Perez had the fastest race pace followed by Verstappen and then Russell. The worst race pace is shown by Piastri followed by Sargaent.

Position Changes Per Lap

The third Analysis is showing us how the position's changed as the race went on. And also it has a line where the Position Value goes to 0 (it is used to represent that the driver has retired due to any problem or crash).

Team Race Pace Comparison

The Third Analysis show us the Team Race Pace for all the laps when the flag was Green(i.e Track Status was 1). The filter below it provides us the legend for Teams.

Here we plotted Teams on the x-axis and Lap Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we made a box plot with the median of all Lap Times and Sorted it according to the Median.

Red Bull Racing The winners of last year constructors championship had the Fastest Race Pace, then it was followed by the Mercedes. The worst Race Pace was shown by williams and then Mclaren. As I stated in Free Practice 1 Mclaren soon needs to find a sweet spot or they will be left in dust by other worst teams too.

Tyre Related Analysis

Weather Analysis

The First two analysis show us the how the track Temp and Air Temp Changed throughout the whole race.

The Air Temp first remained constant throughout with minute fluctuations meaning the conditions during the race were similiar.

Track Temp decreasing gradually this means that as time went on the tyre grip was getting better leaving the part where track temp decreased suddenly.

Tyre Degeredation Analysis

The third analysis shows us the degeradation pattern of tyres as they go on being used how the lap times change. We can see here that the medium tyre was slower than hard in start but as time went on it became the faster tyre..

Tyre Strategy Analysis

The Fourth Analysis show us the tyre strategies of all Drivers for the whole race. It shows us what strategies did the drivers thought to do. Did anyone make an undercut or an overcut pitstop. What all strategies are used and much more.

Here we plotted Drivers on the x-axis and Lap Number on the y-axis. And then we made a circlular discrete plot with colors as Compound so that when the compound is changed the color of circle is also changed.

We can see that mostly all the drivers opted for first the medium compound and then the hard compound of tyre and some chose slow first then the hard tyre.

Some other Analysis

Best Possible Time Per Compound

The First Analysis show us the Best Possible Time Per Compound Possible.

Here we plotted Compounds on the x-axis and Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we took the minimum time per compound for each sector and added them to get the best possible time on that compound.

We can see that the Medium Compound shows the Best possible time followed by Hard Tyres and then Soft Tyres.

Best Possible Time Per Driver

The second Analysis is the Best Possible Time that a driver could have gotten if he had all the minimum time's for each sector.

Fastest Lap Times Per Driver

The Third Analysis show us the fastest Lap Times Per Driver.

Here we plotted Drivers on the x-axis and Time in Seconds on the y-axis. And then we made the bar graph of all the fastest laps of each driver and colored it by Driver.

We can see that Verstappen had the fastest lap of the race.

Pit Stops Related Analysis

Time in Pits Per Driver

The First analysis show us the time taken by drivers in pits.

Perez took the least time while Sargeant the most. Other Drivers only took tenths of second time more than Perez.

Time in Pits Per Team

The Second analysis shows us the time taken by teams in Pits Ferarri took the least time in Pits while Williams took the most.

Time Lost By the Point Finishers in Pits

The Third Analysis show us the Time Lost By the Top point Finishing Drivers in the Pits related to Verstappen as he had the best average in pits out of all the point finishers.

Race Results

Results Analysis

Position Changes and Points Classification

The First analysis Shows all the results with driver broadcast name, Start Position, Final Position and the points they earned for the race.

The Second Analysis show us the number of positions gained or lose from the start and at the end of the race by the drivers. Verstappen gained the most positions out of all he gained 8 positions.

Race Overtakes

Per vs Ver Overtake(Lap 47) Analysis

The First visualizations show us the speed telemetry comparison between VER and PER at Lap 47.

The Second visualizations show us the state of the cars of both the drivers throughout the whole lap.

The third Visualization is the Track Layout of Vertappen's Speed and it shows where Verstappen Overtook Perez. Verstappen used DRS to tuck into Perez slipstream down the lengthy back straight and take an exploratory look around the outside of Turn 17, before completing the job along the start/finish straight. And out of turn 1 he didn't gave Perez any chance to put his car in contention to him.
