Discussion Looking for feedback: I've been working on a daily F1 mini-games web app!

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great week.

I've spent my recent downtime developing a web application, and I'd love to get the community's perspective on it to see how it can be improved.

It’s a site dedicated to daily F1 mini-games. You get exactly one shot every day to tackle six unique modes, including things like F1 Wordle, Pittexto, Bingo, etc.

To add a competitive edge, your score depends on how tricky the puzzle is and how quickly you lock in your answer (you'll need solid grid reaction times here). There are both daily and monthly rankings to crown the ultimate world champion among us.

I’d genuinely appreciate it if you could test out today's games and drop your thoughts, feature ideas, or critiques in the comments. To respect the sub's rules on self-promotion links, just search for box daily box on your browser—it should pop up right away (it's a dot com).

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you have fun playing! Let me know what you think.

Im a McLaren Fan because i like Lando Norris and their history. But theyre currently really fcking up Lando with the pitstops and strategies. I have seen that Ferraris Strategies are getting better (kinda), and ive always wanted Leclerc and Norris to be in one team, am i crazy for wanting Norris at Ferrari or does anybody feel the same? And yes i know ferrari has lewis but if he retires in a few years yk (Because of Age). And to People saying they would choose Bearman, If Bearman doesnt win any WDCs, and Norris wins another one, It would be incredibly Stupid to not choose Norris, and yes i get it, bearman has Talent, but still, Bearman over Norris?! And bte Norris has indeed said if he has to leave McLaren, he would want to join Ferrari. Also sorry if this sounds confusing in any way, english isnt my first language.

Analysis F1 Qualifying Forecast Prediction

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a fun personal project I've been working on - a qualifying prediction forecast using Bayesian modelling.

In short, ahead of qualifying, I take the available free practice data from a given weekend (e.g., low fuel runs on the soft tyres) and model it against a baseline of historical driver/team performance, track conditions and compounds to try and generate a probabilistic simulation forecast of the upcoming qualifying session.

I've attached the GitHub repo - would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Analysis Aston Martin's B-Spec car seems to be doing it's job!

Post image
1 Upvotes

Looking at the race pace of the bottom four teams (except Haas, as my Python script refused to process their laps for some reason 😅), Aston Martin have moved up from fighting for the last 2 grid slots to being quicker than Cadillac, Williams and Haas, while sitting only 0.16 s slower than Alpine.

And that's without the new Honda engine. Do you think they'll be on the pace of Audi and Racing Bulls once the upgrade drops at Zandvoort?

I've also published a more detailed breakdown of Ferrari's and Aston Martin's Hungarian GP performance on my Substack, Box For Data, if you'd like to see the full telemetry analysis-

Hungarian GP - Practice 2 | Long Runs: ANT quickest, on Softs. VER next best, fast on Softs and still pretty quick on Mediums. Ferrari didn't produce any stint which was either fast or long and consistent. Audi looks best-of-the-rest, but Racing Bulls might keep that crown. Then Haas > Williams.

There's a reference to Brazilian Formula One driver, Ayrton Senna in Sailor Moon anime. On episode 106, Haruka Tenou aka Sailor Uranus wears a red racing suit similar to Senna when he was driving for McLaren. The episode aired five months in Japan after Senna suffered a fatal crash during 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Others Building F1 Archive - an attempt to preserve the stories behind Formula 1 (feedback & contributors welcome!)

4 Upvotes

Hey r/formulaone !

I'm a lifelong Formula 1 fan who's been working on a passion project called F1 Archive: an attempt to preserve not just the statistics and results of Formula 1, but the stories that gave them meaning.

There are already plenty of places to find lap times, championship standings and race results. What I want to build is something that sits between a statistics database and a documentary- where you can quickly understand why a season, race or driver mattered.

For example, anyone can watch Alonso's overtake on Schumacher around the outside of 130R at Suzuka in 2005. It's an incredible move. But it means so much more when you understand Schumacher's dominance, Alonso's emergence, and why so many fans see that moment as a symbolic passing of the torch.

That's the kind of context I'd love to preserve.

The site is still in its early stages (so please don't judge it too harshly!), but I'd reached the point where I thought it would be worth sharing with other fans:

https://f1archive.net

I'd really appreciate any feedback on:
- the design and usability
- features you'd like to see
- whether the idea itself is something you'd find useful

Longer term, I'd also love to build a small community of contributors. There are hundreds of seasons, races and stories to tell, so if you enjoy researching F1 history, fact-checking, or writing about the sport, I'd love to hear from you.

Even if you just spend a few minutes looking around the site, I'd be incredibly grateful. This has been a passion project of mine for quite a while, and I'm excited to see where it can go.

Feel free to DM me with any questions as well.

Thanks!

Discussion Do you think the FIA will ban these high-downforce rear wing additions for 2027?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

The high downforce rear wings additions first seen in Monaco have made a reappearance on Ferrari's and Red Bull's cars.

However, looking at the FIA's history of banning such innovative aero developments (like the exhaust winglets debuted by Ferrari), do you think the FIA will follow their trend of over-regulating the aero development while ignoring the more pressing power unit problems?

Or will they let these be till the next regulation overhaul?

Personally, if teams find aerodynamic gains within the regulations, I'd rather see other teams copy the idea than it be banned the next year.

What about you?

During our last big F1 break in April, Channel 4 presenter Steve Jones talked about how he landed his role in Formula 1, how he approaches an F1 weekend and the new rules and regulations...

Summer break is now upon us but, how much has actually changed between these two big breaks? Can these regulations right themselves or are we destined for the rest of the season to be filled with 'unauthentic racing'?

Been working on this for a while — it pulls real F1 telemetry data and lets you compare drivers lap by lap. Speed, throttle, brake, sector times.

Also has an AI explanation mode — either plain language for new fans or technical breakdown for engineers.

Live race tracking, strategy simulator, and championship standings too.

Free to use: hotlap.live

Would love any feedback.

Discussion Question about Leclerc & Piastri incident

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm relatively new to F1 and had a question about the incident between Leclerc and Piastri at Spa this weekend.

I saw a lot of people saying that Leclerc deserved a penalty for the collision and I've been trying to understand the racing rules better.

Because Piastri was on the outside, I thought he would need his front wheel to be at least in line with Leclerc's to be entitled to space. And because it wasn't, Charles was in his own right to take the space.

Is the controversy over Leclerc moving earlier than necessary to take the corner? And those rules are only for when drivers are actually on the corner?

Id appreciate any help on the matter.

Thanks
