Formula Data Analysis
Williams and Alpine were quicker in testing than in 2024 quali! 🔥 'You can sandbag to look slower, but you cannot look quicker than you are!' They made a significant performance step vs one year ago, but their grid position will depend on the other teams.💡
Best 2024 Quali (top) and 2025 Test (Bottom) laptime per team.

Formula Data Analysis
RACE SIMULATION - DAY 3 🔵RUS had a virtual 16.5s gap to 🟠PIA at the end of the 50 laps. He had much higher degradation (and worse pace) on Softs.❌ Yet, he almost matched PIA in the last 2 stints.✅ Mercedes gap to McL: 2024 Race: 0.020s/lap DAY 2: +0.571…

2024 Race Pace and DAY 2 Race Simulations, for reference:
This can be read both ways:
- RUS's degradation on the soft was severe, which is never a product of sandbagging (bad for Mercedes).
- However, if they can solve that, he would become very close to PIA over a race distance (good for Mercedes).
Looking at the telemetry of several laps, the engine modes used (for both ICE and ERS deployment) were very similar for the two teams in all 3 stints, so that's not a factor.
Fuel loads could be different but not to a huge extent based on the performance on the straights and high-speed corners.

I've analysed the top speed in ALL the THOUSANDS of laps done in testing...
Here are the results!💡
- Highest: 329 km/h by 🟠PIA (D3, DRS + Tow)
-Highest on average: 316km/h by 🔵ALB (D3, DRS)
Williams scored the highest top speed on average on EACH day: ALB D1, SAI D2, ALB D3. Higher engine mode, less drag, or both? 🤔
Top speeds were higher on the last day, and overall similar between day 1 and 2.
Haas’ focus on long runs is evident by their low top speeds in the first two days (DRS not used).

PREVIEW - Australian GP
Performance here is different than on other tracks! 🎰
No long straights, few fast corners and strong braking points ➡️Medium downforce level.
Lateral grip more important than longitudinal.💡
Softest compounds (C3 to C5).
Critical tyre: rear left 🛞🔥
What's YOUR prediction? 🤔
