Race analysis charts

pace, traffic, racecraft and strategy from official timing All 15 charts

Race pace — top 10 — 2026 race analysis chart — Pace Race pace — top 10 The same lap-by-lap picture, narrowed to the ten drivers with the fastest typical (median) clean pace so the battle at the front is readable.

Fuel-corrected pace ranking — 2026 race analysis chart — Pace Fuel-corrected pace ranking Ranks drivers by typical lap time after levelling out the fuel each car was carrying — a heavy car early in the race is unavoidably slower than the same car on a near-empty tank late on, so the correction puts every lap on equal footing.

Overtakes made & suffered — 2026 race analysis chart — Racecraft Overtakes made & suffered Counts genuine on-track passes — not positions swapped through pit stops — made and suffered by each driver, sorted by their net total for the race.

Tyre strategy & stints — 2026 race analysis chart — Strategy Tyre strategy & stints Every driver’s tyre strategy laid out as a timeline: which compound they started and switched to, how many laps each set covered, and when each stop happened.
