2022 Emilia Romagna GP: Quali session

Quali session deltas

I am still not sure of what data to post for the quali sessions. I came up with an idea to create charts to see the deltas between all the lap times of all drivers

You can read the charts like this:

  1. Choose a driver from the left side of the plot (y-axis)
  2. Choose a second driver from the bottom of the plot (x-axis)
  3. See where they intersect. The number that you see is the delta for their best lap in that quali session.
    1. Negative numbers mean the driver on the left side was faster than the driver he’s being compared to.
    2. Positive numbers mean the driver on the left side was slower than the driver he’s being compared to.
  4. For example: Verstappen on Q3 vs Leclerc on Q3. The delta is of -0.78 seconds. This means that Verstappen’s best lap was 0.78 seconds faster than Leclerc’s.

Quali session summary table

Just as before, I am adding a table that contains most of the information about the quali session. For this particular race, the chqart may contain some laps that were not really flying laps. I normally filter the laps based on the minimum lap time + a value that I determine to be appropriate. With changing conditions it’s hard to do this so I decided to instead keep more laps instead of deleting valid laps.
