2024 Japanese GP: FP3 long runs

These are like the charts that I created for the pre-season testing in 2024, but done for the FP2 session. The dashed line and the ribbon are based on predictions created from a statistical model. As you can see, these predictions are designed to ignore the lap anomalies and instead present a smooth line. This is not a perfect model and I really built it in a few minutes, but I think it gets the job done for the most part. In some cases the line will be a bit too wiggly, which is mostly caused by a driver having too many anomalous laps in his run.

For this particular plot, a race pace simulation stint was considered as long a driver had a stint of 5 or more laps and I decided to show laps with a maximum time of 1:40.000.
