The Importance of Reviewing the Data

The importance of reviewing the data

Saturday morning, I was sat in bed with a cup of tea, my little weekend luxury, flicking through my phone. Checking emails and messages then, as most of us probably do, drifting into social media space. I hadn’t realised it was the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend, I love motor racing but this covid period has made my feeling for sport tepid. But, catching it on social media feeds and seeing it was on, reignited my interest and I looked through the data-sheets for the free practice sessions.

What management information can be gleaned from the data?

For those not familiar with F1, at present they run three ‘free’ practice sessions, then a qualifying session and then the race itself. The practice sessions allow the team to set the car up for the optimum performance in the race, and although they are ‘free’, everything is timed and watched. In practice sessions often cars are running a variety of fuel loads and testing new aerodynamic settings and the like. It can be hard for teams to determine the order and ultimately the likely race place on the Sunday. At the end of each practice day, I’m sure all the teams have a review meeting and pour over the data.
