What is this?

f1insights is a platform to show interesting statistics from Formula One (F1) races, starting in the 2019 season up to present day.

Why does this exist?

F1 races produce an immense amount of data, from which we can draw interesting pieces of information that help us as fans understand the action better, make predictions and become more engaged with the sport.

This data is public, however there is a relatively high barrier to entry required, with knowledge of Python, Pandas, and the excellent FastF1 library.

Where does the data come from?

The data is pulled from F1 themselves, however credit is due to the FastF1 team for developing the FastF1 python module, which makes the process of interacting with F1's data much simpler, faster and enjoyable.

I've seen something which looks wrong!

No worries, the code that produces the statistics is not perfect, and F1 is a sport with hundreds of edge cases! Hit the contact button at the top of the site and send me an email with the bug, and I'll look into it!

Is this site affiliated with Formula One?

No. This site and any affilated projects are entirely independant of Formula One; The FIA; The FIA Formula One World Championship; Liberty Media and any other related companies. Any issues relating to copyright should be directed to the aforementioned contact link (at the top of the site).
