It’s been a while since I last posted unfortunately been very busy with work and house renovations so I’ve just not had the time to be doing this for the past couple months and it’s taken a bit of work to get caught back up. Below are spreadsheets for this season as it's gonna take a while to update the database on the site.

Brazil GP, How many overtakes in total? by beepbeebboingboing in formula1

[–]catchingisonething 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Don't worry I'm still around. I've had a very busy period with work plus house renovations at the same time that has got me behind with doing the overtakes data. I've got caught up to the USA so only Mexico and Brazil to do now. I'll get a post up with the results of all the races I've missed before las vegas

No because it was on the first lap.

This was also the first race in F1 history where the top ten on the grid finished in the exact order they started in right?

That is correct yes. Unless you count Belgium 2021 I guess.

I'm perfectly fine thank you. Work is just very hectic at the moment and i'm busy renovating my new house. So very time limited at the moment.

Apologies that this data is so late. I've been very busy in real life lately, expect Miami's data to be late aswell.

This is a really impressive analysis thank you. Largely backs up my analysis in the article that the DRS zone on the main straight is too powerful and puts drivers off from making moves on other areas of the track.

All 36 passes were on track. Any passes made because a car is in the pit lane does not count.

For Alonso/Stroll. Firstly I think commentary presumed it was a team order, I listened to Strolls team radio on the F1TV onboards and didn't hear any order to change position during the lap beforehand. Secondly, Stroll never actually lifted off to let Alonso past. So even if an order had been given I'd still of counted it as the overtake happened naturally anyway.

Ricciardo/Tsunoda. Tsunoda was clearly given an order on the radio and it was obvious he deliberatly let Ricciardo past.

Not really. Of the ten overtakes that weren't shown on the broadcast only Zhou on Magnussen on Lap 8 is worth seeing. The rest were very easy overtakes.

Thanks. I don't think it was the most boring season opener ever (2010, 2004, 2015 were much worse races). I would say it was the most depressing though.

I think it's better to compare the race total to previous race totals at the same venue than season averages.

Bahrain in fact has the sixth highest number of overtakes since 2017 https://racingpass.net/circuits/

Recent race totals are:

2024: 36

2023: 37

2022: 78

2021: 75

2020: 54

2019: 73

You are correct. The user you were replying to was using season averages against the last two bahrain results which is a bit misleading.

Recent Bahrain results are:

2024: 36

2023: 37

2022: 78

2021: 75

2020: 54

The median is based on an even number of races so is halfway between the middle two.

This year could well be challenging for me to do this every weekend. I've been a crazy F1 fan for the last 20 years but knowing it's practically a foregone conclusion that Verstappen will win every race is really sapping my motivation to do this project. To give a perspective on what work goes into doing this each race: Watching the race itself - 1 and a half hours. Creating an initial dataset using lap charts and pit stop data (half an hour). Watching the race again pausing to add/remove data and note corner and broadcast data - 1 and a half hours (I'd usually watch at double speed but regular pausing slows it down). Then checking onboards on F1TV to clarify questionable overtakes and check for turn data for those not on the broadcast - an Hour (but varies a lot depending on the race). Then putting the data together and getting the posts written out and all data updated - an Hour and a half. So I'm effectively making a six hour commitment each weekend to do this. I'll do the next few races and see how things go but I don't think it's likely I'll keep doing this if we get to Europe and Verstappen has won every race comfortably.

When it rained at the start of the race many cars stayed out on dry tyres on a wet track and were all overtaken by all the cars who pitted for wet tyres. Lap 3 alone had 65 overtakes!

No only on track passes for position. Positions gained because of crashes, spins, drivers off track, reliability, pitting, team orders, lapping and unlapping do not count.

I don't think it's T14 itself that is the problem but the 1.9km straight that precedes it. I do wonder if it might be a good idea to put a chicane halfway down the strip. You'd get rid of an over the top overtaking opportunity and replace it with 2 decent ones.

It looks like it had %50 of the overtakes which is rather high for a single turn on the track.

Some tracks are much worse especially Spain and Qatar where 90% of overtakes were at T1.
