1 Race Summary Data
In this section, you will be able to find macroscopic charts that summarise the race over the wholefield.
1.1 Race Summary Chart
The Race Summary Chart attempts to summarise position related data across the whole race, andfor each driver.
Key The red dot denotes the GRID position; the black dot denotes the FINAL position; thehorizontal line denotes the END OF FIRST LAP position; the vertical line denotes the RANGEOF RACE POSITIONS held during the race

Figure 1: Race Summary Chart
Things to look for Who makes or loses places from the start (do the GRID and END OF FIRSTLAP positions differ)? Do have drivers have a particularly good race, as denoted by a large gainin places comparing GRID and FINAL positions? Drivers who were placed in a wide variety ofpositions may have had an eventful race.Feedback The Race Summary Chart is an experimental chart type; feedback/comments welcome:[email protected]

Figure 2: Position Density Chart
1.2 Position Density Chart
The Position Density Chart attempts to capture the amount of time each driver held each raceposition. It is inspired by the commonly reported cross-season statistic, ’number of laps in lead’.Things to look for Was the race a procession, (cars holding the same positions for much of therace), or does there appear to have been some position changes (e.g. with cars taking differentrace positions for a significant amount of the race)? Note that if a car was in first position for halfthe race, and second place for half the race, we would not be able to distinguish this from a casewhere first and second changed places each lap!To do Explore the possibility of a complementary chart that captures the number of positionchanges for each car over the course of the race.Feedback The Position Density Chart is an experimental chart type; feedback/comments wel-come: [email protected]

1.3 Laptime Distributions
The laptime distributions summarise the overall distributions of recorded and fuel corrected laptimes for each driver. This is not necessarily very informative, (the stint analysis laptime distri-butions provided for each team may be more useful).
The scatterplot clearly identifies safety car laps, in which all the cars will tend to post a slowtime.

1.5 Pit Event Summary
The pit event summary chart summarises pit events, which includes drive through penalties andstop-and-go penalties as well as actual pit stops.To do find some way of marking pit stops vs DT etc. Colour stint by tyre (prime/option, new/old)Things to look for Does the timing and number of pit stops suggest different pit stop strategieswere in place?Notes I have to admit, I don’t find this chart very informative, though it is an improvement onthe previous stint analysis chart. Is there a better way of presenting the information that allowsus to more easily compare stint lengths? A table, perhaps? Maybe colouring by tyre would makethis chart more useful, perhaps using an underlaid cross to highlight PIT laps on occasions wheredrivers move onto the same set of tyres they were using in the previous stint?

1.6 Position Change Chart
The position change chart represents the race position change for each car on each lap comparedto the previous lap. The size of the symbol depicts the absolute change in the number of positionsand the colour depicts the ‘direction’ of the change (i.e. whether position(s) were gained (greenyblue), or lost (reddy orange)).
The position change chart is intended to capture a macroscopic view of the race in terms ofwhen there is a lot of position change activity going on. It might make sense to overlay this chartwith some sort of representation of pit events, or would this unnecessarily clutter the image?
(I’m getting infected by the grammar of graphics way of thinking about things... might it makesense to come up with a grammar of graphics for descrbing F1 timing charts?!)
1.7 Stint Maps
The stint maps summarise the race from the point of view of stint from the lap and car perspectives.The aim of these graphics to help identify different phases of the race in a clear and unambigousway. The stint map by lap probably demonstrates this most clearly.
A similar style of chart may be appropriate for relating tyre choice across the race?To do Would it be worth exploring a combined position change/lap event chart, maybe using
different symbols/layers, that attempts to summarise both the pit stop events and the position

1.8 Battle Plots for Position
The battle plots for position show activity around the specified race position, depicting the carin the corresponding position on each lap and the time to the cars in the positions immediatelyahead and immediately behind.
The colour of the car along the x-axis identifies the team, and the symbol shows whether itis driver 1 (circle) or driver 2 (triangle) in the team. When the “position car” symbol is off thex-axis, it identifies the number of positions that that car gained (above the line) or lost (belowthe line) since the last lap in order to enter the specified race position.
The grey + symbols above the line identify the time to the car in race position immediatelyahead, and the grey x symbols below the line identify the time to the car in race immediatelybehind the car in the race position of interest.

Things to look for If the car in the race position ahead is close (the + marks above the axis areclose to the axis), the car in the current position may be battling for the position ahead. If thecar in the race position behind is close (the x marks below the line are close to the axis), the carin the current position may be fighting to keep the position. If car-in-front or car-behind marksare going away from the axis as we move left to right (increasing lap count), that means the carin the current position is either falling behind the car ahead, or pulling away from the car behind.

2 Team Summaries
The team summary pages summarise team based statistics, allowing comparisons to be drawndiretly between team members.
The team summaries include the following chart types:
• Fuel corrected aptime distribution by stint The fuel corrected laptime distribution bystint chart is a graphical statistical summary of fuel corrected lap times by stint for eachdriver.
• Race position chart Inspired by the popular chart that depicts race position for the wholefield, the race position charts show the positions, by lap, for each car in the team. PITevents are also highlighted.
• Battle plot The battle plot is an experimental chart, inspired in part by traditional racehistory charts, that attempts to show the extent to which a particular driver was in battleswith the cars in the race positions immediately in front of, and immedialtely behind, the carin question. Position changes (number of positions gained/lost) since the prvious lap are alsodepicted, as well as PIT events. A race position overlay provides additional context, thoughwe could also claim that the battle plot provides context for race position chart. (Battleplots may also be used to show when there is at least one car out of race position between thecar of interest and the cars in the race positions immediately ahead and behind.) Maybe this

3 Feedback
This report format is something of an experiment, providing a “safe”, yet authentic, context forme to explore data handling and visualisation design in conceptual terms, as well as giving somereal data to work with as I try to get my head round the R statistical programming language.It’s also providing something of a testbed for me to get back to grips with automated reportgeneration/workflows.
Given the audience demographics of Formula One, I’m also mindful that folk reading this maybe interested in how similar techniques, whether relating to data publicaation, data visualisation orautomated document creation, may be relevant to their own work related - or personal - projects...which is why I’m trying to be as open as I can about how this document was created, and everythingthat has gone in to making it. I don’t think there’s quite enough here for an Open Universityshortcourse (that’s the day job!), but you never know...!
All comments appreciated, particularly on:
• chart types: there are several experimental chart types, as well as my take on more traditionalmotor sport style chart. Feedback and suggestions welcome on the usefulness/clarity of thesecharts, things to look for in the charts, suggested improvements to the visual design of thecharts.
• scripts: the latest version of the “source code” for this document is available from:https://github.com/psychemedia/f1DataJunkie/blob/master/raceReports/korea2011f1Race.Rnw
Please send feedback to: [email protected], or visit f1datajunkie.blogspot.comAt the moment, I’m using a single, monolithic script to generate the report. Ideally, this needs
splitting into several components that are then drawn together automagically. (If you can providehints/examples/advice on how to do this, maybe even using this document as an example, it’dsave me a load of time.;-) The R functions used to generate charts are collected at the top of thedocument - all comments on how to improve them in terms of “best practice” much appreciated.I generate the PDF from the source Sweave document within RStudio (rstudio.org using theMacTeX LateX processor).
Please feel free to fork the “source code” of this documents and make your own changes toit, for example, by using the report as a shell for your own comments/analysis of the race. (I’mstill a git/github novice, so I don’t at the moment know how to pull any changes back into myrepository!)
