It was shocking to realise that 20% of the current #F1 grid is following my page! 🤯 (4 out of 20) Verstappen was the first to do so (in 2022), and since then he’s always won the WDC! The power of data analysis? 🤣👀 @Max33Verstappen @FranColapinto @PierreGASLY

💡McLaren has a "Mini-DRS", which acts on top of the "Flexy wing" -Wing flex: McL > Ferrari >> RedBull -McL has a never-seen-before lift of the upper plane leading edge: it's as if the DRS opens partially at high speed, providing a further advantage The effect is measurable: McL had the highest top speed when the DRS was inactive despite being slowest when the DRS was open (Data from quali) Is this legal? 🤔 -The flexy wing is, as it passed the FIA's load tests. A wing that flexes are 'against the spirit of the rules', but until the load tests change to avoid that such a thing is perfectly ok -I'm not sure about the deformation of the DRS plane: I expect Ferrari to protest that, but the outcome is hard to predict Photo and idea: @brakeboosted, @multiviewer #F1 #AzerbaijanGP @ScuderiaFerrari @McLarenF1 @redbullracing

Unbelievable: the slipstream made Gasly's Alpine self-destruct!💥(Not his fault) ⚫️Lap 13 (Reference) 🟣Lap 14 (Failure) He got a strong tow from TSU, reaching 361km/h under DRS: the engine reached 12937rpm in 8th gear, then exploded! (Speed dropping, no power afterwards) The gear ratios are fixed for all tracks: Alpine's last gear is short, and the engine couldn't resist the resulting high rpm (and the hot air from TSU's car didn't help either) Made via @JMP_software #YesJMPcan #F1 #LasVegasGP @AlpineF1Team @PierreGASLY

🟢There is no doubt that @AstonMartinF1 built a gem... better than the RedBull in the braking zones while carrying a very similar rear wing! ALO clocked a time 1.1s slower than PER, and most of the gap was due to the higher drag and lower downforce (look at the faster corners)

It finally happened: the W11, the fastest #F1 car ever designed, was beaten! 🤯 PIA beat its laptime by 0.742s ✅ ⬛️W11 (2020): quicker mostly in the medium-speed corners and changes of direction (54kg lighter) 🟧MCL38: unmatched aero efficiency thanks to ground effect! Way less drag with DRS open (+12km/h top speed) and more peak downforce (was as quick in Pouhon: the additional downforce compensated for the added mass!) This is the first time this happened, and Spa was the ideal track for that (fast layout ➡️Ground effect cars' high efficiency shines; it was also resurfaced in 2024) Which record will fall next? 👀 Made via @JMP_software #YesJMPcan @MercedesAMGF1 @McLarenF1

🟢Alonso's Aston was quick today! The car was excellent in the first braking zone, in the twisty sections and on the last straight 🔴The Ferrari dominated the straights! But the RB was indeed down on power 🔵VER was fastest in only 17.9% of the lap... but got the best time! #F1

#F1 cars have around 6kg of paint (according to Alfa Romeo team manager Beat Zehnder) So the maximum theoretical mass gain is 6kg, or around 0.18s/lap (considering a 0.3s/lap weight sensitivity) if the car still ends up over the minimum mass A 3kg gain would bring around 0.1s!

The SF 23 is deeply innovative under the surface... it is the only car to implement an S-Duct!!! The high-pressure energy flows through the low-placed intake (in blue) and re-emerges over the sidepod This provides high-energy flow to the rear, maximising downforce! #F1

On pure pace, the 2014 Mercedes W05 was FAR more dominant than the RB19! Bahrain, SC restart: HAM on hards pulled a 7.1s gap to PER in 2 laps... while battling with ROS! -Excellent chassis/aero -Godly engine (7 Mercedes engines in top 9), despite de-tuning to hide performance!

One crazy stat I stumbled upon: without Verstappen, Red Bull would be LAST in the Constructors’ Championship! 🤯 🚨 The other Red Bull drivers have scored just 7 points so far (Alpine is currently last, with 11 points) #F1

Alonso's engineer told him that his rear tyres were getting colder This happens when a circuit -is rear-limited -stresses the tyres through mechanical wear and not thermal degradation It was the same in Australia, where Ferrari was strong as well! #F1 #AzerbaijanGP #F12023

🗒️Thoughts on #AustrianGP -Ferrari confirms to have solved their tyre wear issues and is now looking a solid 2nd best: quick and consistent -The updated McL is mighty and could fight with Mercedes and Aston in the next races! -SAI drove brilliantly What is YOUR take?💭 #F1

🧐This is interesting: -Ferrari will run the (hopefully stiffened!) single-pylon rear wing, which is slightly more loaded than the wing they ran in Bahrain -However, Saudi Arabia is a track where teams run LESS loaded wings This tells how suboptimal their setup was in Bahrain!

💡The RB20 is NOT invincible (in qualifying): Leclerc's Q2 lap would have given him pole, and his braking and slow-speed cornering were better! VER gained on the main straight thanks to a tow (in green) and in the subsequent corner Then, Leclerc steadily recovered over 0.3s! #F1

Ever wondered how different Motorsport series compare in terms of laptime? Formula 1, LMP1, Indycar, GT3, MotoGP, Formula E… The answers are in this thread ... with some big surprises! 😏 Read On 👇

FRONT WINGS 💡Mercedes might have found a loophole! By not structurally attaching the uppermost element to the nose, they might recreate the infamous 'Y250' vortex, which improves underbody efficiency👌 I can definitely see the other teams to get noisy about this🤬 #F1

Considering the terrible starting position, this was Ferrari’s best race this year so far, in my opinion The team studied the telemetry from Spain and said that they got a good understanding of the updated package It looks like a solid base to build on: let’s hope for further gains #F1 #CanadaGP #CanadianGP

Leclerc’s last year’s pole (1.11.376) was FASTER than this year’s lap (1.11.471) The lap he did with the old F1-75 would have placed him on the front row today, in front of Alonso (1.11.449) #F1 #monacogp
