๐ Filippo Pesavento / F1 Telemetry Data

#AstonMartin
seem to be using either a low power engine mode or no ERS deployment... look at this data!
ALO has clipping in almost every high speed zone (T13, 15, 22, 27), while the other cars continue to gain speed.
AM was also the team with the highest throttle usage in
#FP1
.
๐ Ferrari setups compared!
Telemetry data relative to the fastest laps in FP1:
#Leclerc
with the new Barcelona upgrades,
#Sainz
with the old Imola spec.
The new upgrades didn't fix the bouncing for now: Sainz is quicker through all the high speed corners ๐
#F1

#JapaneseGP
Quali: 2024 vs. 2023
This time the data is more useful than usual, because in 2023 Suzuka was later in the season!
๐
#Aston
: much improved, after last year's "downfall"
#RedBull
improved the least, already having the best car
Ferrari, Merc and McL improved by 1s
๐ 2024
#BahrainGP
๐ 2024 FP2 times vs. 2023 FP2 times
#Mercedes
has improved a lot! But the data strongly suggests that both
#RedBull
and
#Ferrari
have not turned up their engines quite yet, while Mercedes have pushed a bit more... let's wait for tomorrow!
Average time LEC lost to VER in the race: 4.6 tenths
Average time LEC lost in free air (lap 28 onwards): 1.3 tenths ๐
Obviously later in the race different teams manage tyres, fuel etc (especially Red Bull).
If I had to guess, the true gap
#Ferrari
-RB is around 2.5 to 3 tenths!
To clarify: what does "high throttle usage" mean?
When the engine is underpowered and/or the car is draggier, it takes more time to accelerate out of a corner, and the driver can brake later (because he's going slower): hence, a driver stays longer on the gas pedal over a lap!
My thoughts ๐:
- Top 3 separated by just a tenth! ๐คฏ
๐ First time in a while that the fastest driver on track didn't win
๐ด Imola isn't a good track to judge upgrades, that said
#Ferrari
definitely made a step forward
๐ข
#AstonMartin
continue to have problems...
#F1
#ImolaGP
Look at this! ๐
#Sainz
could have taken pole: he was ahead by 2 tenths in turn 3, then head-to-head with Max until turn 9, where he made a mistake, had to lift and lost 4 tenths!
He closed the gap from turn 12, so had he not made that mistake, he'd be on pole ๐ซฃ
#AusGP
#F1
@Nachez98
Yes! That does not explain the clipping though, it's usually much more subtle. If I had to guess, it's a combination of a lower power mode and the loaded rear wing... let's see in FP2 is they change setup

Preview!
This could be a very interesting GP, with
#Ferrari
,
#AstonMartin
and more bringing upgrades ๐
Tyre loads are on the lower side, so Pirelli brings the softest range:
๐ด SOFT: C5
๐ก MEDIUM: C4
โช HARD: C3

@pirellisport
To be clear: this doesn't mean the new setup is necessarily worse than the old one. The old one is better at high speeds, but the new one generates more downforce, so it works better in low speed corners.
The data will help the engineers to better understand how the car works!
Free Practice notes ๐:
๐ด
#Leclerc
is on fire! Already beaten 2023's pole time in FP2
๐ข/โซ
#AstonMartin
seem on a better form than the last races, same as
#Mercedes
๐ตโ ๏ธ
#RedBull
haven't turned up their engines to 100% -> slowest top speed! (VER 279km/h)
#F1
#MonacoGP
We all say "Testing times don't matter". But is it actually true?
Yes, in fact!
I compared this year's testing lap times against 2023, and while many improved, Red Bull (and Haas) were actually SLOWER!
Obviously this isn't the case, so let's wait for the actual qualifying ๐
๐ FP2 Key points:
๐
#McLaren
is the benchmark: fastest in both quali AND long runs!
๐ต
#RedBull
2nd force, they seemed conservative
๐ด
#Ferrari
ran new and old setups, the ideal one would be a mix of the two ๐ฌ
๐ง๏ธ Rain could change the pecking order
(1/2)

Very high lateral stress on the right tyres - the limitation should be the rear right ๐
This week we're going a step softer than last week:
๐ด Soft: C4

Very high load/stress on tyres (especially on the rear), so Pirelli went with the hardest range:
๐ด SOFT: C3
๐ก MEDIUM: C2
โช HARD: C1

๐ Total Laps & Overall Track Time
#Haas
drove more than 1290 kilometers ๐คฏ
Their on-track time is also much higher than anyone else: this shows you that they mostly did race simulations, where they typically had a disadvantage last year (same as
#Ferrari
)! ๐

Barcelona offers a very high stress on the tyres, especially laterally! โก๏ธ The hardest compounds are necessary
Medium-High downforce is also needed, so teams might test upgrades during FP1/2
