F1 Strategy Lab

Analyze lap times, tire degradation, car setup, and circuit characteristics using real F1 data from 2018-2025 seasons.

Core Models

Lap Time Model

Break down lap times by observing aerodynamic efficiency, mechanical grip, braking energy, and cornering profiles.

Tyre Degradation

Understand how tyre wear affects lap deltas and why stints diverge between compounds.

Track Profiles

Compare high-downforce circuits to low-drag power tracks and how teams tune car setups.

Historical Race Data (2018-2025)

Explore comprehensive F1 race data from all seasons since 2018, powered by the FastF1 API.

Race Calendar
Circuit Database

Explore the complete F1 calendar with detailed circuit characteristics, downforce requirements, and track-specific insights.

Circuit Terminology Guide
DRS (Drag Reduction System)

Moveable rear wing that opens on straights to reduce drag and increase top speed for overtaking. Only usable in designated zones when within 1 second of car ahead.

DF (Downforce Level)

Aerodynamic force pushing car down for grip. High DF = better cornering, slower straights. Low DF = higher top speed, challenging corners.

Street Circuit

Temporary track on public roads. Usually tight, low speed, with barriers close to track.

Race Circuit

Purpose-built permanent facility with run-off areas and optimal racing conditions.

Overtaking Difficulty

How hard it is to pass. Depends on track width, corner types, and straight length.
