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

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?👀

I will start: Ferrari F2002🐎

The most powerful F1 engine ever?

The tiny 1500cc 4-cylinder 1986 BMW M12: over 1400hp in qualifying!🔥

Power is estimated: no dyno could accurately measure over 1000hp!💡

The Benetton reached 352km/h in Monza, with much worse drag (and grip) than current cars!

Mind-blowing! 😳

The inline-4 layout of the BMW engine gave it a clear advantage over the V6 engines used by Ferrari and Renault:
1 fewer turbos, 2 fewer cylinders, 8 fewer valves➡️lower frictional losses➡️More power and better reliability.

F1 vs MotoGP Aero

In F1, wings make you corner quicker
In MotoGP, cornering might get worse!😳

F1:🔵downforce increases the🔴tyre load➡️more grip (higher lat. accel. ay).

MotoGP:🔵"down"-force has a horizontal (centrifugal) component, pushing the bike out of the corner!

🔵Downforce acts on the bike midplane
⬇️
-The tyres🔴vertical load increases (good).
-More🟣lateral tyre force is required for a given lateral acceleration (bad!).

At best, the two effects cancel out.
At worst, cornering gets worse as the friction coefficient μ decreases! 📉

So, why do MotoGP engineers add wings on the bikes if they cause additional drag while potentially making cornering worse? 🤔

Mostly to limit wheelie: that's the limiting factor out of most corners, and not the rear tyre grip! 🏍

Braking improves too.👌

In '05 and '06, Alonso became champion with Renault, showing a driving technique never seen before... and no one has used it since then!👀

He used very high steering angles to manage the front tyre temperatures in a unique way🛞🔥

At the time, there were two tyre suppliers; Renault was equipped with Michelin tyres.

In 2005, pit stops were banned! Drivers had to complete qualifying and the race on a single tyre set. Suppliers provided very hard and durable tyres... too much for a qualifying session!

ALO's Renault was gifted with excellent traction.

This improved further in '06 when the team introduced the legendary 'Mass Damper': a mass connected to the chassis through a spring, tuned so that the mass itself oscillated instead of the car when over kerbs!

When the rear grip is higher than front grip, understeer occurs: the front tyres slide more than the rear ones, making the car widen its trajectory.

On corner exit, the longitudinal load transfer can make this worse as the vertical load shifts from the front to the rear tyres.

Alonso found a clever way to turn this into an advantage:

He approached the corner normally, then turned the steering aggressively much sooner than the corner apex, inducing high front slip-angles (the angle between where a tyre is steered and where it's effectively going).
