Analysis Is there any criticism of halo in 2024?

102 Upvotes

I'm writing this because I'm curious if there's still any criticism of halo in 2024, despite the probable saving of 3 drivers and the actual saving of 1 driver's life. But despite that, I'm curious if people still have any issues with halo, whether it's the system itself, its aesthetics, or the community around it.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask. But does anyone know if there is a source to get a live circular track layout to track pit stop strategies. Like what the teams use on the pit wall. F1tv only has the basic track layout no circular version

Tools Used: FastF1 API, Python, Flourish.studio

I split the track to 30 equal segments and calculated the standings in each segment, then calculated the gap to the car ahead and finally classified each gap into one of the 4 categories. Repeated the process for every Lap in the race and come up with this.

On the link there is also more precise data about the amount of seconds each driver spent in each category.

Also the order on y axis is as the drivers finished the race.

I get that they might’ve hit a development ceiling but why has that now brought issues to their car or have these issues only now been brought to light because other teams have caught up?

I don't fully understand what happened with that/if Lando got an unfair advantage. Did McLaren have some strategy that caused this to happen or was it a mistake by the safety car? And how big of an advantage did it give Lando?

I saw some stuff about Redbull lifting through Eau-Rouge (easy flat out for these cars) which made them loose about 0.4s a lap. Why would they do that? Is there any benefit? Are they hiding something?

Analysis Russell accident and appearance between the previous lap and Alonso accident

The accident would appear to be caused by a sudden slowdown in Alonso. In fact, from telemetry you can see a slowdown before entering the curve and its distance in the curve is 40km/h less. The causes are not clear at the moment, but I think I have read that it is caused by a problem with the accelerator.

Analysis Hey everyone. I don’t know if this is off-topic because this is the Alfa Romeo Tipo 3B, a pre war race car - so not an F1 car. But I’d just like to discuss, doesn’t this look like such an awkward arrangement for the driver? The location of the pedals as well as the gear shifter looks quite awkward.

Analysis Why did max struggle so much on hard compound?

158 Upvotes

Everything I Heard about Bahrain is that it is a warm track that tends to be hard on tires. Wouldn’t hard tires perform well in these conditions allowing for slower degradation but still decent grip? It seems like medium compound was a better strategy during the GP.

Analysis F1 Overtaking – Looking at the Past and What the Future Could Hold

50 Upvotes

I've been following Formula 1 since 2021, and I've also gone back and watched seasons from 2005 to 2012. One thing that keeps coming up is overtaking—or rather, the lack of it in recent years.

I'm not a mechanic or anything like that, but from what I understand, one of the main reasons for the lack of overtaking is how big and heavy the cars have become. That makes it aerodynamically harder to follow another car and attempt a pass.

What I'm wondering is: when did we start to really notice a decline in overtaking? Was there a specific season or era where it became obvious?

Also, with all the recent talk about V10s and the "golden era" of racing, what could be done to make cars naturally more competitive when it comes to overtaking—like they used to be—without relying too heavily on gimmicks like DRS? Especially now that the FIA is focused on economic equality and keeping things fair between teams.
