DutchGP PREVIEW! 🛠
- Many consecutive, banked corners ➡️ extremely demanding on the tyres ➡️ Pirelli is bringing the hardest compounds (C1-C3).
Expect medium-high load wings:
- High downforce ➡️ Improved braking, cornering and traction✅
- Still, excessive drag will hurt on the main straight❌
The few, short straights will make McLaren’s relatively high drag (and Alpine’s low engine power) matter less. In turn, Haas’ low drag will be less of a factor

F1 is back! 🤩
Which rear wing type did each team choose for the grip-demanding Dutch GP? 👀
🟠McL doubles down on the car's high downforce (and drag) by employing the most loaded wing ⚫️Mercedes is not far off
🔴Ferrari and🔵Redbull going for a more middle-ground solution
Zandvoort's consecutive and banked corners require excellent grip, but will greatly stress the tyres
A more loaded wing:
-Might mitigate tyre wear, but only if the driver doesn't fully exploit the additional grip provided by the downforce!
-Will certainly induce more drag➡️Worse straight-line performance, harder to attack/defend, and will make the car drain its battery quicker (more energy spent on the straight, and less energy recovered under braking)

I reverse-engineered Brembo’s ‘braking power’ calculation! 🤩
F1 brakes do indeed generate well over 2000kW of power… over 3000hp! 😳
Power = Force*Speed
The peak power is generated at the beginning of the braking phase, when speed AND deceleration (due to downforce) are highest. 🔥
4.5g of deceleration, but ‘only’ 3.5g of that due to the brakes: drag (and engine brake) alone account for 1g!
Yes: lifting the throttle off an F1 car can produce a deceleration stronger than the one you’d experience smashing the brake pedal of your car! 😳
Follow @FDataAnalysis to have nightmares about high-school physics every night! 😜
(The specific power value obtained depends on the data used: Brembo’s stated value is slightly lower probably because they used a lower speed value).

DUTCH GP - FP2 DATA HIGHLIGHTS
👍Mercedes, McL
👌RedBull
👎Ferrari
RUS was quickest, and his top speed was excellent (328km/h, 2nd quickest and 2km/h quicker than VER's '23 pole).
PIA (fastest in Sector 3) and HAM (fastest in Sector 1) were close, though! Ferrari is looking even worse after the summer break.
1) Fastest Sectors:
- Mercedes, then McL were fastest in S1 (end of main straight + 2 full-throttle section separated by the cambered T3 hairpin). The two RedBulls sandwiched MAG.
- Mercedes, then McL again in S2. Ferrari's worst sector: LEC lost HALF A SECOND in this sector alone! (After the updates, the car seems to hate the fast corners.)
- McL was best in S3, which was VER's and LEC's best.

2) Top Speeds:
Haas was the fastest, but Mercedes was just 1km/h behind. Ferrari matched Red Bull for 3rd. McL and Aston experienced high drag: this will have a smaller impact on a wet qualifying!
3) Minisectors (top 3 cars):
Track split in almost 3 equal parts!
- VER dominated the main straight and the fast T7 and T8➡️Excellent aero efficiency.
- RUS gained significantly after T3 and T9.
- The last sector was McLaren's strongest one.

LONG RUNS - FP2 Dutch GP

🥉🟢RUS +0.504s/lap [S]
VER’s gap to NOR:
0.15s/lap on Softs
0.50s/lap on Mediums
- HAM and PER were the most consistent👌
- Ferrari is not looking good in Zandvoort: LEC was slow (slower than ALB on average) AND inconsistent 😬
At least, his best lap on Medium was quicker than PER’s, and his average becomes more reasonable when removing his 2 slowest laps.

Long runs for all teams (not just the top 5)
RedBull had a ~3km/h higher top speed than McL, yet it was slower on the straights: this suggests that RedBull (as is often the case) was running a more detuned engine mode (but less drag) than McL (shouldn’t be the effect of fuel: RedBull was still quickest in the high-speed corners, where fuel load impacts the most).

📊 DUTCH GP - QUALIFYING DATA HIGHLIGHTS
NOR inflicted a remarkable 0.356s gap to VER, Ferrari was just the 4th fastest car, and ALB got P8 before being disqualified... I'm explaining how that happened through the telemetry: read on! 👇
1) AERO PERFORMANCE 🌬
- Mercedes reached the highest top speed in qualifying: a rare occurrence for an overall draggy car! In the end, the team opted for less drag, for a modest loss of downforce.
- McL had a top speed just 1km/h lower than RedBull's, but was overall quicker: the better performance in S1 and S3 made the difference.
- ALB got P8 despite having the worst top speed: what the Williams lacked in straight-line performance it made up in the overall grip.
2) NOR vs VER HEAD-TO-HEAD TELEMETRY 📈
NOR gained steadily throughout the 1st sector. VER could lift less in the fastest corner (T7)➡️Excellent downforce.
Once the 3rd sector started, it was game over for VER.
NOR inflicted a remarkable 0.356s gap to VER, Ferrari was just the 4th fastest car, and ALB got P8 before being disqualified... I'm explaining how that happened through the telemetry: read on! 👇

Notes on Dutch GP:
McLaren said that their updates could have given them a big performance step against RedBull - and they did! 📈
🟠NOR: yet another disappointing start, but was flawless after that!
🔵VER: damage limitation 👌
🔴LEC podium, SAI P5 with NO upgrades
⚫️HAM finished right behind RUS despite starting 9 places behind
Compared to expectations:
🔴Ferrari 👍
⚫️Mercedes 👎
McL is now the clear favourite for the WCC now
Ferrari is expected to go all-in with the upgrades starting from Monza (and the next 3, fast tracks should suit it better).

At the opening race (Bahrain), 🟠NOR was 0.83s/lap slower than 🟡VER: thinking about a race-winning McL was a mirage, not to think about fighting for the championship!
Yet, in the Dutch GP NOR was 0.34s quicker than VER: McL's consistently successful upgrades will be remembered for years.
🔴LEC's pace matched VER's: just a 0.01s/lap difference! Well-deserved podium
🔴SAI almost matched PIA, while PER was 0.1s/lap slower
HAM and RUS used one more set, that's why their pace looks so good.

HOW🟠NORRIS LOST THE PLACE TO🟡VERSTAPPEN
👀
- VER used constant throttle (~20%).
- NOR, instead, quicky increased it up to 50%➡️His rear tyres likely spun (notice the rpm increase), forcing him to lift significantly over 50km/h.
The battle was lost there: he could go full-throttle ONE SECOND later than VER and reached 200km/h 0.4s later.
Driver mistake, fundamental car issue, or both?
- Could be a driver mistake: NOR has been having consistently bad starts, and worse on average than PIA.
- Could be a fundamental car issue: also PIA, on average, has had bad starts.
The telemetry suggests that NOR indeed made a mistake, but the car likely has some characteristics (Clutch? Energy deployment?) that make starts hard.
What's your opinion? 🤔
