Some great insights from Zach Brown (not to be confused with McLaren's Zac Brown) on the importance of tyre management and the strategy Ferrari had planned for the first stint at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix...

interesting developments. the graph suggests that george and yuki could be teammates as early as 2028 if this downward trajectory continues.

The Formula 1 Career of George Russell: A Visualization

2 Teams. 128 Career Races. 711 Career Points. 8 Fastest Laps.

George's Russell's entire Formula 1 career thus far is summarized and displayed visually in these two infographics. Exploring data visualization design through the extensive and detailed data provided by Formula 1 on their website, I was able to compare the difference between more formal and statistical design against creative and symbolic design options.

(Note: The infographic on the left was my final assignment submission and thus the information ended just after the Vegas GP 2024 weekend because of where the due date fell in the F1 calendar.)

F1 WDC Predictions

I’ve finished all my work for today and I’ve found myself calculating some potential championship outcomes based on the races to date.

I did 3 different analyses based on the season as a whole, the most recent 9 races and the most recent 5 races.

Looking at the season as a whole this is the predicted outcome of the drivers championship

Verstappen (424 points)

Norris (352 points)

Leclerc (332 points)

Piastri (319 points)

Sainz (242 points)

Hamilton (236 points)

Russell (192 points)

Perez (171 points)

Based on the results on the last 9 races, things are a little different

Verstappen (414 points)

Norris (367 points)

Piastri (350 points)

Leclerc (330 points)

Hamilton (286 points)

Sainz (247 points)

Russell (226 points)

Perez (171 points)

Then finally the predictions based on the last 5 races

Verstappen (381 points)

Piastri (363 points)

Leclerc (335 points)

Norris (334 points)

Sainz (230 points)

Hamilton (222 points)

Russell (180 points)

Perez (173 points)

All three predict more race wins for Piastri, Norris, Leclerc and Hamilton, with 2/3 predicting a Verstappen race win within the next 7 races and 1/3 predicting a Russell race win.

[wisteriagoesvroom]

there was a great poll / data viz once about the number of fics in like every possible pairing of f1… and i can no longer find it. does anyone know what i’m talking about??

edit: FOUND thank you @liamlawsonlesbian for the pointer and @pierregasiy for pulling the original together. we have our differences on f1blr sometimes but united in brainrot <3333

[ihaveitprintedout]

Can I see the ship doc and the favorite fics one c: I need some new stuff to read?

Also what's on the first doc?

ofcourse!!! The first doc is data from the races through the years with lists of dnfs, wins, poles etc and is pretty big (i added a picture of the document for reference)

Here is the document with fics

Here is the playlist with songs with pics from my notes app where the songs are linked to drivers/ships

Google Trends | Belgian GP Race Week | 24 - 30 July 2023

🔴 Charles Leclerc 🔵 Carlos Sainz

Highest peak for both was one hour into the race. Second highest for Charles was end of Quali on Friday, followed by the start of the Sprint on Saturday.

Fun tidbit: amongst the related queries for Charles were several about bracelets...

Which F1 fanbase is the fruitiest?

The results!!! The analysis is pretty lengthy, so all the details and the complete analysis as well as the rankings will be under the “keep reading” line for usability of tumblr 😵‍💫. However, if you don’t want to get into that and are just interested in the main result, know that the most queer fandom amounted to be Liam with 87.5%, and the least Lando with 62.9%.

First off, small mistake on my part that I wanted to address. Whilst making the polls I added aromanticism to the list of sexual orientations 😔. Idk aroace has somehow merged into a single entity in my mind so including both was like a reflex to my tired self, but obviously people can desire to have a sexual life without necessarily wanting to entertain a romantic life! For this reason the aromantic section of the polls will be included to the Prefers not to say/See results section, which means it will not be weighted for the complete analysis. If you still were curious of which fandom contains the highest and lowest rates of aromanticism (normalized dataset by excluding Prefers not to say/See results category), they are respectively Liam with 9.2% and Lewis with 1.2%.

Second off, this research is definitely not meant to be taken seriously! The sample sizes are way too small to be considered representative, and even then Tumblr (sole place where the polls were conducted) has a specific community that may (let’s be honest pretty assuredly lol) present a higher rate of queer representation than, let’s say, Twitter or Instagram. On average only a small fraction of a driver’s fans is present on Tumblr and would have seen the poll I posted, so the proportion of certain sexual orientation (I presume heterosexuality specifically considering the geopolitical environment of formula 1) will be much more significant in real life than shown here. Also, results may have been influenced lightly by people reading the tags from other voters before voting themselves, or even voting on polls for drivers they’re not a fan of instead of using the “see results” option to satisfy their curiosity. That said, the measures here are only meant to be a fun project now that I’m on break 😈.

Time for the interesting part, here come the results!

Starting with a table to compile the overall votes from each fanbase. If you want to explore the polls directly you can check the “Fruitiest f1 fanbase data” tag on Tumblr. The numbers are all x/100 with one decimal due to Tumblr’s limitations.

The main category in most of these polls ended up being the Prefers not to say/See results category, sometimes amounting to more than half of the votes for certain fanbases. As to make the data more interesting to analyze, this category and the aromantic votes (which do not constitute a sexual orientation as specified earlier) will be excluded from further analysis. The values of the relevant votes will be multiplied to come back onto a x/100 basis, to facilitate comparison between fanbases.

Which gives us this more representative graph of the proportion of each sexual orientation in each fanbase by normalizing the proportion of each sexual orientation to the total amount of votes considered for further analysis.

As you can see bisexuality occupies a huge fraction of the votes for all fandoms! Heterosexuality and asexuality are also proudly represented. Gay is surprisingly low in most cases, going as far as being null in Carlos’ fanbase.

As the main goal of this study, overall queerness of the fanbases will be measured first. Here is a ranking of the fanbases from biggest to smallest proportion of queer members out of a hundred people (so total amount of normalized votes minus heterosexuality) :

Liam’s fanbase comes out on top! Obviously the overall queerness representation appears to be wildly over inflated, considering that heterosexuality remains the most common sexual orientation in the world and that Tumblr harbours a pretty specific community. However, considering all data for all drivers’ fanbases was taken from tumblr, the comparison between each other still remains somewhat relevant. Considering the popularity of Carlando on the f1 scene, seeing both their fanbases at the bottom came as a surprise to me.

Next, I made mean averages of the proportion of each sexual orientation in the fanbases (excluding the Aromantic/Prefers not to say/See results categories from the dataset) and compared each fanbase to this average to show who deviated the most from the overall trend.

Thus, this would correspond to the average f1 driver’s fanbase if it was composed of 100 people :

Without surprise, bisexuality keeps its lead over every other sexual orientation. However, seeing heterosexuality as only half of bisexuality’s value feels shockingly low. Others is the least represented category overall, which was to be expected due to its abstract title and low representation irl of sexual orientations different than the ones already named. Gay, as said previously, is the least represented of the named categories.

And here are the deviations for each drivers’ fanbase to the mean average f1 driver’s fanbase in table and graph forms :

The deviations from the mean were also calculated in percentages, but since small variations in the “others” category so drastically affected the percentages and overall scale of the graphs (made other numbers too difficult to see) I preferred not to present the graphs for these results. However, I did make a table to regroup them :

I also performed chi-squared tests to make sure the variations in expected values of the mean average vs observed values in a driver’s fanbase numbers couldn’t be reasonably attributed to hazard and that there was, to a certain degree, a correlation between a driver’s abnormally small or large representation of the sexual orientations compared to the mean. 0.05 was used as the significance level threshold. Cases in green in the subsequent table were over the critical value for the degree of freedom (n=6) and thus permitted the rejection of the null hypothesis :

Based on this table, Lewis could be considered to have the fanbase the most likely to conform to the null hypothesis, and Lando the least likely (null hypothesis=variations due solely to hazard)! Most fanbases fall under the null hypothesis.

Here are the rankings for each specific sexual orientation’s proportion of the fanbase for each driver, from highest to lowest proportion of x/100 :

Notably, Carlando dominates the hetero category, the gays love Mercedes, the asexuals prefer the younger drivers and Liam has the biggest unknown queer community.

If you’re still reading this, well, thanks for taking the time to look at my silly numbers. Hope you have a great day, do crimes, and hydrate! Peace 😪

Time to wake up at an ungodly hour just to watch two hours of men driving around in circles and to listen to the Dutch national anthem
