Deep dives
One finding, method first
On LinkedIn, once a race weekend: one question answered with the data, the sample, the method, the check and the limits written out beside the chart.
Method
How it's measured
Every figure comes from a published source and is computed, not copied. Where a number is a model or a prediction, the slide says so.
Timing and telemetryFastF1: every lap, car-data and position sample since 2018.
Results and historyJolpica (Ergast): every championship race since 1950. Points are checked against the published totals before a standings post goes out.
FIA documentsPower unit elements, energy limits, the upgrades each team declares, and every race control message.
Tyres and pit stopsPirelli's compound choices and pit-lane loss; DHL and F1 pit stop timing.
WeatherTrack and air temperature measured at every session; ERA5 reanalysis for the races before 2018.
Readable by everyoneColours are checked for colour blindness, and a colour never identifies a driver on its own: the code is always written beside it.
