You probably know Formula 1 Dashboard for its Live Timing ๐ŸŽ๏ธ But thatโ€™s not where it all started. 3 years ago, this project started as a stats dashboard. And thatโ€™s still what itโ€™s all about! A place to explore and analyze Formula 1 from every angle, from driver and team performance to race strategies, technical developments and much more. Whether itโ€™s before, during or after a Grand Prix, or between races, thereโ€™s always something new to discover. Itโ€™s constantly evolving throughout the season. Iโ€™m always adding new features, improving existing ones and finding new ways to explore F1 data. Today, Iโ€™m sharing a longer video showcasing a UI refresh across many pages, with plenty of before & after comparisons! ๐Ÿ‘€ And this is just one more step in making the dashboard better. app.formula1dashboard.com #F1 #Formula1 #Dashboard #Stats #F1tech

Interlagos pole prediction: 1:09.7 My original simulation said 1:09.3, faster than last year's pole. I published 1:10.8 with a 5 % grip cut. FP2 shows the grip cut was unnecessary: grip looks higher than a year ago. The real problem was the straights: my car was up to 18 km/h too fast at the end of them. I've been testing battery losses that keep peak MGU-K power but reduce the energy the battery actually stores. The same issue showed up in COTA. With that fix the straights match FP2 and the lap gets 0.4 s slower: 1:09.7. In qualifying you would expect a bit more deployment than in FP2. With less battery loss, so straights about 8 km/h faster than FP2, the lap is 1:09.4. So my range is 1:09.4โ€“1:09.7. Qualifying today looks likely to be wet, so it may not be a fair test. #F1 #F1tech #BrazilGP

Here's a first look at the active front wing for my 2026 F1 car concept. Any tips or suggestions are welcome! Active aero is one of the key features of the 2026 regulations. The wing is generated entirely in code and checked rule by rule against the 2026 regs: three elements, with the flap moving between Corner and Straight Mode. Next step is CFD. The plan is to start simple and refine the design one iteration at a time. I have 5+ years of CFD experience, mostly in high-speed rocket aerodynamics, but F1 cars are a completely different beast. It's a long-term spare-time project, so progress will be slow. My hardware might have a few objections, and given current RAM prices, so might my wallet. ๐Ÿ˜… #F1 #F1Tech

Tutto questo รจ sfuggito di mano da troppo tempo. รˆ ora di porre fine a queste persone di merda che si divertono nel augurare queste cose a delle persone, che non hanno fatto nulla di male se non praticare uno sport che amano. Prendere di mira le famiglie, gli amici, i figli, i defunti รจ un comportamento di una tale bassezza che io ormai non so piรน come commentare. Questi due screen sono uno degli innumerevoli tweet pieni di odio e cattiveria che circolano da giorni su questa piattaforma, mai ho letto in giro parole piรน brutali di queste. Il bello รจ che sono per il 90% fan del pilota che รจ SEMPRE stato contro lโ€™odio sul web, che si รจ sempre battuto per la pace nel mondo, e vedere persone che dovrebbero seguire il suo esempio, comportarsi cosรฌ รจ vomitevole. @ScuderiaFerrari vogliamo fare qualcosa in merito? #StopTheHate

Have to believe that the gaitor update is part of the solution process to solving some of the performance degradation Max was discussing. As far as I know, the gaitor is the elastomeric (or the like) flexible junction where dynamic suspension arms interface with static aero surface. You often see these where an A-Arm intersects with the nose of the car. Here they circle the intersection with the front corner near the brake deflector surface. Maybe itโ€™s not aero related, but more of the mechanical connection at the upright interface degrading over the race impacting the responsiveness of the front end.

Excellent look at the split regions along the topside of the rear corner of the floor. You can see the air sticking to the undercut as it travels rearward. The airflow near the floor edge naturally migrates to the low pressure region under the floor. The rear corner is where teams have been developing unique solutions to shape this edge flow into the floor through slots cut into the aero surface.
