We are always told that Barcelona-Catalunya is great track for representing the F1 season as a whole. If your car is quick here, it’s quick everywhere. But is it actually the most standard F1 track? Are there other tracks that give a better prediction for Formula 1 season?

Love the video. This is the first video I have watched of yourself so hello!
Thinking about the elevation stats it might be more indicative of performance to look at air density (air pressure and temperature ) rather than elevation as it is the reduction in air density that affects the power rather than elevation itself. But might be harder to find the stats as it's depended on weather on race weekend.
Also might be thinking about temperature/track temperature for another stat. That would sit nicely into the model you have already implemented!
After the changes I think catalonya is quite decent circuit
surprised you didn't categorize the number of corners by speed (high speed, low speed, mid speed)
Montmeló is a great track: turn 1 to 3, turn 9 and 10, the last 2 turns since the Tilke's shame chicane was removed, the elevation changes. Its really nice stuff
can you release the full leaderboard? like the sheet showing the rankings because im curious
Maybe you should give the best and worst track in each category 1 point and increase the points towards the middle.
This way two extremes don’t cancel each other out. (for example having 1 point for the least corners but max points for average speed)
You could give 12 points to p12 and p13, 11 to p11 and p14, 10 to p10 and p15… Until 1 point to p1 and p24
It should be a crime to do all that research and then not show where each track ranks at 😂
Sepang F1 is the most average track i think
The video is actually a good meh 10/20.
A classic I mean
Can we find the easiest F1 track?
Been wondering about this so great to see that you've made this video. Interesting
Maybe its just video game nostalgia speaking, but I've always loved Cataluña precisely for its average-ness. It's a quintessential, downforce reliant racetrack, that in-game, is easy to understand and fun to drive. I don't mind that the racing isn't flashy, because I have an appreciation for the smoothness it takes to go fast, and for how impressive it is to pull those kinds of g's consistently, lap-in and lap-out.
Ngl I kind of want to see Charles Leclerc take a 47m dive after winning at home 😀
Loved this! Race day temperature would have been useful.
Honestly, a pretty interesting exercise.
I wonder how many (sensible) means of manipulating the raw data gather end up with Spain as the least un-average track….
where can i see all the results? it seems we only got the first 3, last 3 and 2 of the middle.
One of the most unique F1 channels out there, please make more videos like these!
"Monaco is the most predictable track with average winning position of 1.77"
Ferrari with Leclerc on pole: are you sure about that
The “conclusion” made me laugh so hard
I fucking knew it would end up being Spain, it’s way too funny for it not to be the case
I really love the way it is not a street track
You should have given equal points for being first or last in a list, and zero points for being in the middle
Does anyone else agree that COTA would be a good testing track? I know seasons and winter and snow… but that would've been fun.
I would love to see a video on average grid positions for champions in different categories, like f2 its probably 4th as the best starting position to take advantage in both races
Dude you’re way too smart to be making silly YouTube videos. You need to be doing data analytics for a bank or something
I'm pretty sure Baku has the shortest distance from start to Turn 1 at 50m
I personaly think that Imola is the most average. the times Mr V showed the whole graph, from 1 to 24, imola was never that extreme in either direction. Imola has low, medium and high speed and is pretty easy to get to.
You say Austria should count its corners like Imola but turn 2 is the slight left in the uphill straight 😆
Surprisingly, the result of this whole video was pretty… well… mid.

Every. 1.5. Oval. Track.
Vegas, Nashville, Etc
I will not miss Barcelona one bit. Always the most boring races.
I really really hope that testing goes back there instead being sportswashed by the Arabs. It's a great place to be and a great place to watch.
5:33 brilliant lol
Getting my calc to get the monaco win stats without ferrari being ferrari
Mate, your channel is exactly what F1 fans interested in maths need since you apply it to…well, everything
And I bloody love it!
"have you considered that you might have a skill issue" bro roasted the f1 game community 😭😭
Haas poles % >>>
14:45 made me really happy because this was my initial thought when you said you would use the average to determine 'averageness'. Another banger of a video!
But is this the most average video about F1? No, it's an absolute banger!
Turn 2 in Austria IS a generous corner. They just didn't take the same liberties between 3 and 4.
Is Austria not a mid track
