It was shocking to realise that 20% of the current #F1 grid is following my page! 🤯 (4 out of 20) Verstappen was the first to do so (in 2022), and since then he’s always won the WDC! The power of data analysis? 🤣👀 @Max33Verstappen @FranColapinto @PierreGASLY

NOTES ON #AzerbaijanGP! -Hard to decide who was Driver of the Day between RUS and VER! Fantastic fight. RBR looked good on the straights -Excellent comeback by ANT, who cut his losses -3rd podium for HAD -LEC got a decent P4 after a terrible start -McL has the same PU as Mercedes, yet on tracks with long straights they perform much worse. I think their gearing (the shortest on the grid, by far) is the culprit -Excellent result by LIN and Haas -Won't be a nice afternoon in the Alpine box... Who was your #F1 Driver of the Day? Mine is VER

Here's a question: can we still call it "F1" (or even "motorsport") when a ~1000 hp car stays flat-out for 600m and barely gains any speed by the end? 😢 In-depth quali analyses coming soon: follow @FDataAnalysis and turn on notifications not to miss them! #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

So it's confirmed: Ferrari's 'ADUO 2' upgrade (which only HAM had in Madrid) was significant, providing 18hp more in some crucial phases (peak power on corner exit, between 260-310 km/h, in the clipping area) and similar performance elsewhere 🚀 This debunks a lasting myth: that one #F1 manufacturer (RBPT?) can have the best ICE but not the best ERS. -Ferrari's upgraded ICE made their clipping vastly better, which is exactly what you'd expect, since all energy comes from the ICE anyway! -Having the best ICE almost guarantees having the best ERS too, and thus the best performance What's your opinion?

I might have just witnessed the most powerful naturally-aspirated #F1 car in existence, and you'll love the story behind it! 🔥 Ingo Gerst, owner of the Boss GP Championship, invited me into his box. Among the F1 and F2 cars was a 2006 Toro Rosso. That year, F1 switched from 3000cc V10s (~950hp) to 2400cc V8s (~750hp). Toro Rosso received a concession: they could keep using the V10 for one more year, with an intake restriction to cut its power Ingo bought the car, removed the restriction to restore its full power, and as the original spare parts ran out, replaced them with newly designed ones, making the car even more powerful (and reliable): it now revs to 20100rpm! I mean, look at the size of those radiators…

PIA and HAM had the best starts, yet their race turned into a nightmare: 2.4s to reach 100 km/h, just 4.5s in total to reach 200 km/h. PIA was on Hards, making this result even more impressive! Aston and Audi were the worst cars off the line by far: something to improve on

🟧NOR had the best RACE PACE at the #SpanishGP (0.24s/lap quicker than 🟩 ANT, 0.41s/lap quicker than 🟦 VER): from a likely win to P3 due to extremely unlucky VSC timing 🟥LEC's pace was within 0.1s of 🟦 VER's, yet he finished the race 24.8s behind him! What a pity, replacing Spa with this track ☹️

Monza Quali really did expose the limitations of the new Power Units ⚠️ The average #F1 team lost ~3s to 2025, and only part of that was due to lesser downforce Having a powerful PU was critical: -Alpine switched from Renault to Mercedes, losing less than 1.8s/lap. -Aston went from Mercedes to Honda, losing more than triple that! A solid power unit didn't guarantee success, though: Williams still ran a Mercedes PU, and yet lost 3.9s to last year!
