All season, I wrote in-depth, data analysis articles for every #F1 race weekend They were supporter-only, but now they’re all free for everyone! I won’t be able to continue these articles (for now), so I’m pausing all memberships: no one will be billed anymore 👇 buymeacoffee.com/f1dataanalys...

Excellent post from @xavigazquez.bsky.social from anther platform. McLarens braking systems: #xaviimages #f1technicalphotographer 📸 #F1Tech #formula1 #F1 #grainingf1tech #EmiliaRomagnaGP

Kimi Antonelli was just 4 when Jenson Button pressed the DRS *button* for the first time in 2011 Yesterday, he became the last driver ever to use it! He activated it in the final DRS zone of the final lap, hitting 330 km/h (but still couldn’t pass TSU) Goodbye, DRS 🫡 #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

At the end, Hulkenberg basically said: “Traffic? I don’t care” *Proceeds to pass 5 cars in a DRS train in 8 laps* Fatalities recorded: his teammate, one Mercedes, two Williams, and one Red Bull “Traffic does not exist, it can’t hurt you!” #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

Interesting title! Not a big fan of the word “intelligence” in the context of AI, let alone “Fluid Intelligence”. But I will still give it a read. It’s a long one, only 41 pages. LOL 😂 arxiv.org/abs/2511.20455

#F1 RACE PACE! 🏁 Four drivers had a pace within 0.1s of RUS's, whose brilliant first stint let him cruise in the second one! Ferrari designed an issues-filled car: you’d expect them to fix them over the season, yet they’ve worsened. Both drivers had to run at backmarker pace at the end! Read on 👇

RACE PACE Sawing off 🟦VER's wing didn't kill his pace: he just had his first dominant 2025 win! (0.27s/lap quicker than 🟧NOR) Teams' pace gap (s/lap) 🥇RBR 🥈McL +0.27 🥉Ferrari +0.46 4⃣Merc +0.55 5⃣Williams +0.88 6⃣Sauber +0.95 7⃣Haas +0.96 8⃣RBs +0.98 9⃣Aston +1.40 (ALO retired) 🔟Alpine +1.54 #F1

The wave of the future. First World Championship appearance for Renault, a turbocharged engine & Michelin tyres. Jean-Pierre Jabouille debuted the RS01. The Frenchman rose to 16th before dropping back & retiring (turbo) on lap 16. British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 16 July 1977. #F1

This is too pretty not to share. Working hard on the next version, sometimes the development feels extremely slow, but this definitely makes me smile. :) Anyway, hope you enjoy!

If we do live in a simulation... It's got mad volumetric path tracing solver skillz 🌤️☀️☁️

How strong can a tow be? What about 26km/h ON TOP of DRS?!?😳 BEA had the 4th lowest top speed in quali (no tows): ‘just’ 320km/h Instead, he reached 346km/h while overtaking, although compared to quali: -ERS deployment had to be managed more 🪫(‘Overtake mode’ in race?) -Worse track conditions #F1

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!) 📸: Pirelli (1/2)👇

So... I did something😬 I'm teaming up with JMP to organise an F1-themed data analysis summer challenge!🤩 You'll analyse the data from an F1 race: laptimes, compounds, pit stops, speed traps, you name it!🏎️ Same data for everyone: may the best among you win! Check out the first comment👇

#F1 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 ✅) (1/2)👇

Given the chatter, here's something I wrote a couple of months ago showing how McLaren's brake duct arrangement has evolved during this reg set, whilst explaining how teams leverage heat transference from the brakes to the tyres via the wheel rims www.planetf1.com/features/mcl...

The complexity of the diffusers air flow is captured by this video the floor striking the ground. With either the left side of right the symmetry changes. Together the tunnels air crash together is a highly complex interaction. There has been innovation to the keel area to try control this.

🟠Piastri was around 2-tenths quicker to 200km/h than 🔵Verstappen at the start, getting the lead!🔥 1)Could use more throttle after the clutch release, gaining a ~10km/h advantage 2)Maintained that advantage, gaining more meters 3)VER braked super-late, going wide #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Jeddah requires aero efficiency: -Low drag ✅ (Long full-throttle sections) -Enough downforce ✅ (Many fast corners, keep deg. Under control)

THE EFFECT OF DIRTY AIR - VISUALISED! 💡 🟠NOR following 🔵VER closely through the mighty 130R corner on Lap 3 The slipstream reduced the aero forces: 1)Before the corner: less drag➡️NOR gaining 2)Into the corner: less downforce➡️NOR had to lift 20%, losing 6km/h; 0.6g lower lat acc than VER! Via JMP
