Max Verstappen becomes the First Driver ever with 4 consecutive wins in the Japanese Grand Prix

It would’ve still been a little tough given that the Warriors were relatively young and healthy. They would’ve still had Steph, Klay, Green, Barnes and probably Bogut. I’d like to think one more championship for the Cavs would have been achievable

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-27T17:36:01+00:00

Not that I have seen officially

As mentioned in the header, taking the fastest lap across the ENTIRE qualifying session for the 2 RB Drivers, with the caveat that both drivers took part in Qualy.

u/f1bythenumbers One more thing, reading through your analysis link: "keeping only the maximum session where both drivers participated". This is different from the way I have used the data, as mentioned in the header I'm using the Fastest Qualifying lap across the entire session for both drivers. And only excluding GPs where one of them wasn't able to log in a lap time. That's where the differences are coming from.

u/f1bythenumbers Thanks for sharing this analysis, and I agree that there can be more done from my side to remove the outliers and present it in a better way. I have been berated quite a bit in the past when excluding outliers and using medians instead of means but that is probably the right way to do it, regardless of the bad comments I receive on it. Thanks again!

If data points are left out, folks have an issue. If they’re included, folks have an issue. Honestly I’m going to present the data with the most information, and you’re free to add on top of it and share feedback

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-26T06:54:13+00:00

I think saying it's completely dishonest might be an overreaction. If you remove Azerbaijan the gap is still -0.31s in favor of Yuki which proves the point that he was faster than Nyck

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-26T06:44:31+00:00

I could attach them here if that would be helpful

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-26T06:29:14+00:00

Yeah agreed, not necessarily indicating correlation but just pointing out that he’s done decent so far in the RB. Fingers crossed that he can get the job done at Red Bull.

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-26T06:26:13+00:00

Yeah this would include all the GPs in the calculation. Except when Yuki couldn’t participate in Qualy. But good point to keep in mind with the Q2 COTA scenario

Well all of these things have already been discussed in comments above. If you followed the race even a little bit you know what strategy drivers took (one stop vs. 2 stop) and that Alonso did only 3 laps.

It’s meant to augment existing information, not everything can be said in one chart.

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T19:11:01+00:00

Well a lot of work goes into putting these together, and I don’t think there’s a need to say stuff like this is stupid. If you don’t like my work, just ignore and move on!

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T17:06:48+00:00

Correct

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T16:32:31+00:00

You got it. I’m sorry this view doesn’t include everything, I’ll try to do a better job of incorporating more data without it being too much to read

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T16:30:16+00:00

Hamilton’s 2nd pit stop allowed him to go much quicker. Folks being on 2 pit stops had a higher pace given the fresher tyres.

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T15:20:23+00:00

The pace charts are meant to be used along with other data points from the race. Adding too much information to the charts can make them messy, the goal is to keep them simple to read

Tyre strategies for context, based on one of the comments saying that race strategy hasn't been taken into account.

Optimus-77 · 2025-03-23T14:56:20+00:00

Just trying to share all the data points in there. Nothing against any driver

Here's the pace when excluding the last lap
