This is an experimental analysis.

To provide a clearer picture of performance, anomalous laps (due to traffic, driver errors, etc.) have been corrected using predictions from a statistical model. The model learns each driver’s underlying pace and trends to generate these plausible lap times.

While I’m preparing a more detailed post for the next Grand Prix, I was excited to share these first results now. To see the difference this makes, you can compare this chart with the uncorrected version in the the 2025 Hungarian GP: FP2 session post.
