KartCMP1: Spanish Grand Prix Data Crunch
11 May, 2021
The Spanish Grand Prix featured the first truly dominant performance of any team as Mercedes convincingly showed the way in Barcelona.
Let’s crunch the numbers and see what really went on.
Easily the most difficult assessment to make in Formula 1 is the illusive oddity otherwise known as ‘race pace’. Over time I’ve come to believe that if you extract each drivers fastest lap every five laps, you’ll have a data set that best represents the true performance of each car. I call it “Best Case Race Pace”.
Below I have assembled “Best Case Race Pace” for the Spanish Grand Prix. I have extracted the best lap of each driver for laps between 6-10, 11-15…….61-66 and then averaged the time into one single time. While the one single time really has no meaning, it’s the delta between the drivers best represents each driver’s race pace lap time relationship.
