You have any clue on this? @ScarbsTech

@F1DataAnalysis Cool plot. Is the mean speed the average of the entire lap? Because that seems like it would be an odd choice of metric.

[Max Taylor @maxtayloraero]

@F1DataAnalysis Think you might need to be a bit careful drawing the lines here. Curious what it looks like with max and checo separated. There is definitely a grouping of redbull soft data that follows a similar slope to the others...

@dr_obbs @TechHeadsF1 Great thread. The real fun begins when you plug an aero map into a lap time simulation tool:

If you listen to our @TechHeadsF1 podcast, or various twitter spaces we have been on, you know we talk quite a bit about aero maps. So what are aero maps all about? Let's dig into this in this #F1Tech🧵

Been a while since I've done one of these...Take a look as I attempt to get aero coefficients from #F1 telemetry. #formulaone #aerodynamics #engineering

@F1DataAnalysis Where do you get acceleration data? Not part of fastf1

[Formula Data Analysis @FDataAnalysis]

Curious about the effect of the upgrades and setup choices of the various teams for the #SpanishGP

Want to know the different characteristics (strenghts and weaknesses) of the different #F1 cars?💡

Then this is the thread for you - can't really miss it!🏎️📈

Why so much negativity about the lack of DRS @CroftyF1 ? Halfway thru this race has been plenty interesting so far. #f1 #ImolaGP #Formula1

[Craig Scarborough @ScarbsTech]

OK, here's an honest technical analysis of the @redbullracing #RB18 as shown today.

@NelPhi4 @ScarbsTech Thanks for the share! @NelPhi4 @ScarbsTech

OTDI 2008, their penultimate year in #F1, Toyota launched the TF108.

[Max Taylor @maxtayloraero]

Crazy ending. Merc probably should have pitted again, their usual conservative strategy bit them here. What a season. #AbuDabhiGP #F1

[Brad Philpot 🏎🏁 @BradleyPhilpot]

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage fails, but it is not this day.

An hour of tyre smoke and shattered carbon fibre when the Age of LH comes crashing down, but it is not this day!

This day we fight!

[Craig Scarborough @ScarbsTech]

The @astonmartin Valkyrie is now in production. Nice chance to look at the tech underneath

[Max Taylor @maxtayloraero]

Diving back into the MATLAB lapsim this evening. Today's project, using the fastf1 Python package to pull real F1 telemetry traces (red) for comparison to my lapsim (blue). Clearly some room for improvement on this Monza correlation.

I've done a detail tech review of the @WSeriesRacing racecar, the Tatuus T3-18. Racing in Hungary supporting #F1 this weekend https://t.co/tGhrVSiVKD

Weekend!
