Speed Of A F1 Car Over Time

[ykickamoocow 0]

I thought it would be interesting to see the fastest laps of each race over the past 10 years to see how much faster or slower F1 cars have become over time.

That took a very long time. It is interesting to see how much faster cars gott from 1997 to 2004 then with the new regulations the cars got several seconds slower. Anyone car to guess what kind of speeds the 2007 cars will reach and what year will teams start breaking lap records again.

Good work Ykick, it must have taken you ages. I reckon looking at data from, say 1988 to 1998 may be more indicative of real change though.

I'll add some later.

Great set of stats there! I was rather surprised by some of the names on them too, I never realised JPM was that quick!

[Jem of the Shire 0]

i'm surprised at the massive difference between 1999 laps and todays laps

[ykickamoocow 0]

Ive added earlier years to the data ive already provided. If possible i started in 1987 but if not then i started at the earliest possible time after 1987. There are some very interesting peices of data on that list like the differnces in time per circuit. Tracks like Monte Carlo (Monaco has seen times improve over 12 seconds per lap over a 20 year period while a track like Monza has only seen a 4 second change per lap.

Good stuff!

I think its a true testimonial for F1's cutting edge technology, every year FIA tries to shake things up with absurd rule changes to slow down the cars and the engineers find way to make them faster than before. Imagine if the rules were frozen in 1988, the the cars would lap the circuits in -ve time.....

Thats true. Notice the dip in times from 2004 to 2005 as a result of the new regulations. It will be interesting to see this years fastest laps but i expect them to be slower than last year which is a result of Michelin leaving the sport which means Bridgestone can provide slow tyres this year without fear of being beaten.

i am impressed by your various ways of making DC look like a legend.

were you aware that statistically, DC is the most successful British f1 driver of all time?

Thanks. He also has the most fastest laps for the A1 Ring but that isnt a race anymore so i decided not to include it.

Yep. He has also 5th on the all time points table and at the start of the year he was 4th. Im hopeing by the end of his career he will be ahead of Ruben Barrichello as he is only afew points behind. Thats anyother one of the many reasons i want the new Honda to be a flop.

Everyone please keep in mind that many of these tracks have been changed over the years. Today's Hockenheim is nothing like it was in '99, and Silverstone has been changed a lot too.

This is a unfortunate truth but even so many of the tracks remain unchaged and even with the ones that have been changed you can still find useful data.

You are really amazing ykick... KR is 168 points behind DC in that stat and FA is "just" 128 points behind. In his last two WDC's, FA made 133 (2005) and 134 (2006) points. Both of them will probably pass DC within the next two years, but there is a very small chance that FA may achieve that on this season, how do you feel about it ykick?

Or maybe DC will be WC 2007.

You forget about the new points system where the top 8 drivers get points. I worked it out nearly 6 months ago. If the same points system was in place when Coulthard started his career then he would have a extra 200 points.

I don't think he is, I count WDC's as un matchable by any other stat. That puts Hill and Mansell infront of him, plus plenty of others

Ahead of Jacki Stewart? What stats you talking about??? Most ever 11th place finishes?

He was talking about points throughtout a drivers career.

Well all jokes aside, Since no one has got the answer to my question in the Cafe... I can tell you that Coulthard has the second most 3rd place finishes of all time... Im still waiting for someone to come up with who has the most!!!

Think of how much higher Coulthard's overall points would be if they had the new points system for his entire career. For each 3rd place you get 2 points more than you did afew years ago. Coulthard also has a large amount of 2nd places which would raise his overall points total considerably.

Monkeys and typewriters.

Monkeys and typewriters.

Huh

[Autumnpuma 0]

Huh

If you sat a gazillion monkeys in front of a gazillion typewriters, you'd eventually get Shakespeare....or alot of feces thrown around

If you give DC enough time, he'll rack up more points than anyone. A more reasonable way to look at it would be as a percentage of race starts to points earned.

I would argue that Shakespeare was a monkey. No human could write such crap.
