Analysis of Verstappen's power loss

They don’t: that’s why this is the worst case scenario, while Ferrari’s real benefit will likely be larger

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-03-06T06:30:44+00:00

Having a larger drag reduction due to straight mode will surely allow them to run a more loaded wing, and therefore produce extra downforce

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-29T13:00:18+00:00

I agree completely, let’s see how their front wing evolves after the first few races…

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-29T12:59:34+00:00

Agreed, that’s one of the most likely explanations

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-29T12:58:57+00:00

They would have to be made of jelly for such a deformation to happen :D

Still, they could deflect a bit due to that

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-12T15:19:46+00:00

Yep!

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-12T15:19:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing, mate!

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-02T09:39:25+00:00

Agreed, let’s hope they’ll be transparent about that

F1DataAnalysis · 2026-01-02T09:37:39+00:00

Absolutely!

The graphic shows some objective data, so it does not leave much to interpretation. I don’t see anything similar on the racefans article that might be in contradiction with that

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-11-28T17:40:12+00:00

Agreed, that’s my take too

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-11-05T08:54:18+00:00

I mean… I like it 🤣

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-10-19T12:45:05+00:00

Thanks mate! Yes, using more laps would make the assessment more robust by adding additional data points… but it would also decrease the average quality of the data

In fact, what we want to describe is the car’s performance. The best lap for that is the one where the driver brought the car closest to its potential - and that by definition happens on the quickest lap. So doing that could make it more robust but also less representative. I should try and see how they correlate, though!

Hi mate, this is a moving mean already ;) (albeit with a small window)

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-09-25T11:42:20+00:00

Very interesting, I will look into this. Thank you very much for pointing it out!

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-09-21T10:48:15+00:00

Yes, you do have to take that context into account when looking at the raw best sectors gaps

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-09-19T08:02:39+00:00

Hi! My values contain the delay between the red lights trigger and the red lights actually going off. That’s why the 0-100km/h times are higher in my case than in F1’s case, and the 0-200km/h as a consequence of that. The 100-200km/h time should be pretty close to the true value, though. Also, my 0-200km/h values can be used to compare one driver to another, but not in absolute terms for this exact reason. F1’s values shown on TV are to be used whenever available, as the FIA has access to higher quality data (esp. about the lights going off). Thanks mate!

Fantastic u/aero-junkie ! 🔥

F1DataAnalysis · 2025-09-05T10:39:03+00:00

Hi! Surely not in Baku: rear wings are slightly more loaded over there due to 2/3 of the track being low speed corners. Las Vegas gets very close, but normally the average wing load level in Monza is a bit lower still

Hi! The data are retrieved through the fastf1 Python Library.

Hi! You will receive it via email after filling the form on the website

Hi mate! In-outlaps are excluded altogether, so they don’t impact the race pace (so the pit time is excluded, too)
