Formula 1 | A winning team takes far more than just two drivers | Red Bull's pit crew were on it in China - executing two stunning double stacks on the way to another 1-2
The Statistics flair is reserved for posts highlighting interesting statistics. As a rule of thumb, Statistics posts need to inform readers through visualizations and insights that cannot be obtained from raw data alone. For example, a post containing a qualifying gap between two drivers expressed in tenths of a second is an easily obtainable raw piece of data and constitutes a bad Statistics post. A visualization of what that translates to on-track, or visualization of how that gap came to be would constitute a good Statistics post.

No fking idea why the rule maker thinks human can do a better job than sensors in those scenario. But hey, pushing for rule changes is also part of the game.
Something like an automatic release system which released the driver when all tires were fitted. FIA made mandatory .15 sec delay before release when all tires are fitted to account for human reaction time.
Funny enough there was a period recently where Red Bull were being challenged by Ferrari and McLaren on pitstops even more than on pace. In the last 7 races of 2023 Red Bull had the quickest pitstop in just 1 of those races, and Ferrari beat them in the pits in Bahrain as well this year. However since then Red Bull have posted the fastest pitstop 4 races in a row so they’re definitely back on form.
counting the last few races against them is unfair. red bull were so far ahead in the title race that it was probably better that they slowed down slightly and ensured higher accuracy
Thank you for this. It’s the perfect illustration of how much explanation needs to be done to make that caption work. The ranking is the endpoint, so 1-2 fits in that context.
I’m not going to make assumptions about your command of English, but “first fastest” isn’t a thing (at least in this context). Fastest and second fastest when measuring time, first and second (across the line) when establishing finishing order. The latter example counts as a conventional 1-2, the former does not.
Mate, F1 literally produce a leader board of the "fastest pitstops" (which I linked) where they're ranked "1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.".
All I'm doing is explaining why they've put "1-2" in that image. Rather than move on when something's been explained to you, you've decided to resort to insults?
And I’m trying to explain to you that how they’ve used “1-2” in that caption is incorrect. It implies something that didn’t happen, your mental gymnastics notwithstanding.
