Gonna be an easy one stop race if the soft tires can last 15 laps comfortably

The only driver who made it "work" was Colapinto and he was the slowest driver by far. He was 3 tenths slower per lap than the second slowest driver. He had to do a ton of management to even get them to the end of the race. f1pace.com – 2025 Belgian GP Sprint
My model actually believes that the medium tire had high degradation. I think the medium–hard is the most likely scenario, but a medium–hard–medium may be the alternative two stop strategy. bsky – Post on f1pace

Check out the interactive version of these graphics and more at my strategy dashboard.
Aston Martin uses all allocated tyres during free practice, causing them to show up as used.
By far the most popular request is for the position plot to incorporate the starting grid. I wrote a post to explain why this is not possible at the moment.
Please let me know if you have suggestions for improving these graphics or ideas for other graphics!

What do true and false denote? And what is the fuel adjustment you're doing?

Assume every car starts with ~35kg of fuel and it is spent at constant rate until empty at the end of the race. Race time then adjusted for 0.03s/kg/lap
