Ever wondered how we get the videos of #F1 cars running over the kerbs?

Now you know!💡
(📸: alenpetak11 on Reddit)

Ferrari started the 2022 season with the most powerful engine (Honda was 2nd, then Mercedes and Renault)

They turned the power down after some catastrophic failures💥
This, coupled with Mercedes increasing the power after a reliability check, made their edge disappear📉

In the first race of 2022, I estimated Ferrari’s PU to be around 10hp more powerful than Honda, and 20hp more powerful than Mercedes

Wingtip vortices (2020 #F1 cars)

Spoilers generate downforce through the pressure differential between its two sides (lower side: lower pressure, upper side: higher pressure)

The two airflows (low and high-pressure) re-join at the wingtips, creating vortices

QUALIFYING GAPS👀

The field got much closer than in 2022!
Only🔴Ferrari got farther from pole (Still, not far off🔵RB)

🟢Aston was the most improved team. Still, 🟠McL matched it despite a terrible start

Mercedes: 3rd fastest

What's your 2024 prediction?🤔

2022 for comparison

The slowest team (Williams) was the same as in 2023, but it got significantly closer to the top: from a ~2.1s gap to a ~1.3s one!

I expect the team to be even closer next year! (as unsuccessful design choices are dropped and performance gain rate decreases).

The single fastest lap of the team was considered for each session.

📊 QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE
- Races 1-11: Aston was as quick as Merc, and Alpine quicker than McL.
- Races 12-22: Ferrari was quickest! Alpine was fighting with Aston.

DEVELOPMENT
📈 Improved: AT -0.52%, McL -0.49%, Williams -0.39.
📉 Got worse: Aston +0.52%, RB +0.23%, Alpine +0.11%.

Values are relative to each team’s quicker driver for each session.

QUALIFYING PERFORMANCE PER GP

🟠McLaren's improvement is clear: from 1-2% off the best to pole in Brazil! ✅

🟢Aston, instead, got progressively less competitive ❌

First 9 dry sessions: 7 RB, 1 Ferrari, 1 Merc
Last 9: 5 Ferrari, 3 RB, 1 McL.

Mercedes had stable performance.

DISTRIBUTION OF QUALI PERFORMANCE

On average:
🔵RB >🔴Ferrari >🟢Merc >🟢Aston =🟠McL

Ferrari was very consistent: they were never farther than 0.8% off pole!👌

Excluding Singapore, RB was the most consistent.

🟡Yellow Dots = Abu Dhabi.

McL, Haas, AT and Williams were quick!

Values are relative to each team’s quickest lap in the session.

Ferrari’s consistency in qualifying mirrors their inconsistency in the races!

2023 has been amazing:

> I've been to the Monaco GP and to Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (@RLLracing), thanks to two wonderful fans!
> Many new types of analyses
> Expanded to Threads and Telegram
> Collab with JMP Software (@JMP_software)


2024 will start with a BIG announcement! 🤫👀

Opening my page (almost two years ago) was one of the best decisions of my life!

Thanks for everything: I will also accompany you during the next season, hoping to make your F1 experience more exciting and interesting!

Thanks to you for making this possible! ❤️

Under stable rules, sub-optimal design choices are replaced by 'winning' philosophies.🏆

This year, especially in the last few races, we've had a much tighter pack than in 2022.

Still, I loved the early-2022 variability in design: look at this Aston!😍

Highest Percentage Wins in a Season (Drivers)

🥇Verstappen 2023 - 86.36% (19/22)
🥈Ascari 1952 - 75.00% (6/8)
🥉Schumacher 2004 - 72.22% (13/18)

This year Max Verstappen beat a 71-year old record!🤯

Ascari's record is impressive considering old #F1 cars' bad reliability.

Ferrari SF-23 (Top) vs SF21 (Bottom)🔎

Notice how different the shape (and size) of the bodywork is!👀

The 18'' rims made the 2023 tyres' diameter larger (despite the thinner sidewall): 660mm➡️720mm

The next comparison will be based on your comments: choose two #F1 cars!🤩

RedBull decidedly improved over their already great 2022 season:
4 more wins
6 more poles
3 more fastest laps
101 more points

RB19>RB18 in every way: In Adu Dhabi, both the top speed (+2km/h) and high-speed cornering (+8km/h) improved!
More downforce AND less drag✅

What is your favourite F1 car, or the one you consider most iconic?👀

Comment with a photo of that!🤩

I will start: Ferrari F2002🐎
