Formula Data Analysis
CANADIAN GP - FP2 DATA SUMMARY TOP SPEED: - Red Bull had the lowest drag ➡️Best top speed; opposite for Haas; - Purple sectors by 3 cars: NOR quickest in S1, ALB in S2, RUS in S3; - Williams: real pace; - RUS had a higher engine mode than NOR, who was stronger…
BEST SECTOR GAP:
HAM struggled the most in S3, but Ferrari's performance was underwhelming everywhere.
RUS was quickest in S3 (2 straights, one chicane), where his medium tyre impacted him less. His higher engine mode helped him there, though.
The third sector was Williams' sole weakness.

RUS vs NOR Telemetry:
On most straights, RUS gained vs NOR once they could go full-throttle (around 200km/h): this indicates a higher engine mode, or possibly less fuel onboard.
Instead, NOR gained in the last part of the straight: McL seems to have a drag advantage.

CANADIAN GP - PRACTICE 2 | LONG RUNS
- Everyone on Mediums:
- 🟢 RUS/ANT did the longest stint (13 laps). RUS had 25 laps-old tyres by the end, yet he was quickest on average!
- 🟢 Mercedes and 🟠 McLaren are looking great.
- 🔵 VER, often on low PU modes/full tank in long runs, looks quick too.
- 🔴 HAM: No quicker than the two 🔵 Williams.

CANADIAN GP - RACE PACE
Now, THAT was a close race! 😳
RUS was quickest on average, but 4 other drivers (VER, ANT, NOR, and PIA) were within 0.1s/lap of his pace! 👌
🔴 Ferrari killed their drivers' race in two ways:
- HAM was put into traffic ❌
- LEC still had excellent pace on the worn Hards, yet was forced to pit❌. They traded a shot at a better outcome to settle for a result they would have gotten anyway had the alternative strategy been worse than expected. Truly unexplainable, in my opinion. Will Ferrari's struggles ever end?

CANADIAN GP - QUALI LAP ANALYSIS - TEAMS 📊
🟩 RUS could remain full-throttle way more than anyone else (lifting later, on gas sooner): that's how he got pole! 👌
🟦 VER had the best top speed. He also had the best min speed in T3-T4 (aero efficiency ✅).
🟧 PIA was worst in every metric. He mitigated that by gaining ~0.1s in the last chicane. 👍
🟥 HAM lost much time out of the corners of Sectors 1 and 2. Was the only driver not to lose speed at the end of the lap 🔋(Conservative/sustainable ERS deployment).

Was Hamilton's Damage worth 0.5s/lap?
💥🦫
Hamilton hit a groundhog in Turn 10 on Lap 12, losing 20 points of downforce (and allegedly 0.5s/lap).
The data confirms this:
- The first stint was chaotic, yet 🔴 HAM was never slower than ⚪️ LEC.
- As he hit it, his laptime increased from 1:16.726 from L11 to 1:17.486 in L14 (+0.760s)❌. Meanwhile, LEC saw no change.
- HAM pitted for new Hards, yet he was still way slower than LEC on 17L hards❌! Could have been a chance, but...
- He pitted again on L45: 17L advantage again, and still slower.
The 0.5s/lap estimate seems correct.
The final proof of the damage?
Downforce impacts fast corners the most (T3-4).
Minimum speed from L11 to L14:
- HAM: 133➡️128 km/h (-5);
- LEC: 134➡️133 km/h (-1).
Ferrari's (and Hamilton's) bad luck knows no end!

Nobody was as quick as Bearman at the start: he reached 200km/h one-tenth sooner than the next quickest drivers (HAD, HUL, HAM)! 🚀
HAM and BOR needed just 2.1s to go from 100km/h to 200km/h: these cars are insane! 🤯
Best starter on Hards (SAI) was 2 tenths slower to 200km/h than the best starter on Mediums (BEA).

AUSTRIA PREVIEW
C3-C5 compounds (as last year);
Optimal strategy was 2 stops (Starting on Mediums, alternating Mediums and Hards).
KEY FEATURES:
- 700m altitude (~7% lower air density ➡️Less drag and downforce).
- Fewest corners (10), shortest laptime (1'02"939 pole in 2020).
- Requires balance: traction, braking, medium and high-speed cornering, power and drag are all important.
RACE PACE 2024
VER and NOR were very close in performance; RUS capitalised on their crash to win! PIA didn't have the updated car. RBR and McL were quickest, Mercedes and Ferrari not far off them.

AUSTRIAN GP - REAR WINGS
- Track layout requires medium-low downforce (many straights; medium-high speed corners present but not prevalent).
- Lower air density (~7%), however, forces teams to claw back some of the lost downforce.
Load levels (Highest to lowest):
Aston / Alpine⏫
McL
Haas / Ferrari
Mercedes / RBR

FP2 DATA RECAP: Pole is 🟧McL's to lose...
1) BEST SECTOR GAPS:
🟧NOR dominated the session, being quickest in all sectors! McL is the clear favourite here: McL 1-2 in Sectors 1 and 3 (STR was second quickest in S2).
2) TOP SPEEDS:
🟩Aston and 🟦RBR (+ ANT) had the best top speeds, which does not seem due to a higher engine mode.
Williams is running TONS of drag: they need to reduce that to be able to attack/defend (nor PU-related).
3) MINISECTORS - NOR/VER/STR
NOR dominated over half of the lap: fantastic traction (out of T1, T3, T4, T10) but high-speed cornering was excellent too (T6-7, T9-10). RBR and Aston, combined, were only quicker on the straights (lower drag).
What's your prediction? 🤔
