How will the never-seen-before four DRS zones in Australia influence the setups?🤔 Spending so much time with open DRS will make using a more loaded upper-plane less penalising➡️Expect a shift towards more loaded setups This will make DRS even stronger!

The scientific article on the work I'm most proud of was finally published!🤩 You probably know me for analysing F1 telemetries, but did you know that my researches focuses on motorcycle dynamics?🏍️ This work addresses an unsolved problem in my field: read on to know more!👇 Motorcycle riders apply torque around the steering to perform the manoeuvres; therefore, the steering torque signal is crucial information. The problem, though, is that measuring it is pretty challenging! If you have a complete motorcycle model, you can use it to estimate the steering torque. However, only motorcycle manufacturers know all its parameters. I tried to solve this problem: I developed a simplified model that allows estimating the steering torque using only the reading of the roll angle and knowledge of a few simple motorcycle parameters, like its caster angle. Here is the 'key' equation I proposed: We validated the method through experimental data (5th image): a narrow corner (red background), a slalom (green), a wider corner (blue) and a double lane change (yellow). There is substantial accordance between the measured (grey) and estimated (black) steering torque signals! This work expands on the seminal work made by Professor Cossalter; it considers the steady-state and transient contributions separately to obtain a more general description of this crucial input for motorcycle dynamics. It also predicts manoevrability! (6th image: lower values are better) That's it! I'm open to question and curiosities 🤩 You can access the pre-review version of the article through my ResearchGate page: bit.ly/steerTorquePre… If you are interested in the Published version of the article, you can send me a DM asking for that! ——————————————————————————————— #F1 #Formula1 #Formulauno #Formulaone #Formule1 #Car #Race #Motorsport #DataAnalysis #Ferrari #RedBull #Mercedes #Alpine #Mclaren #AstonMartin #Verstappen #Hamilton #Leclerc #Alonso #Norris #Perez #Russell #SkyF1 #Racing #F1Testing #BahrainGP#F12023 #SaudiArabia #SaudiArabianGP #Jeddah https://www.instagram.com/p/CqS1xq7NskD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gap to leader during the #SaudiArabianGP!📉 -ALO was able to keep up with PER in the first 10 laps, then Aston's pace became in line with RUS -LEC and VER were quicker than RUS and SAI despite traffic -After the SC, VER and PER were almost matched -McLaren stuck in traffic What’s your opinion?🤔 Comment down below! 👇 Get the inside track on F1 engineering - follow me @f1dataanalysis to get exclusive content and telemetry insights from a professional expert in vehicle dynamics! 🏎️📈 👉FOLLOW @f1dataanalysis👈 📊FOLLOW @f1dataanalysis📊 🏎️FOLLOW @f1dataanalysis🏎️ ——————————————————————————————— #F1 #Formula1 #Formulauno #Formulaone #Formule1 #Car #Race #Motorsport #DataAnalysis #Ferrari #RedBull #Mercedes #Alpine #Mclaren #AstonMartin #Verstappen #Hamilton #Leclerc #Alonso #Norris #Perez #Russell #SkyF1 #Racing #F1Testing #BahrainGP#F12023 #SaudiArabia #SaudiArabianGP #Jeddah https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQHyt8tAEE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lewis, on Max: 🔊"I don't know how or why, but he passed me with impressive speed." 🔊"I didn't even bother to defend because there was a huge difference." He's right: 📈RB was the car with the most effective DRS (tied with Haas) 📉Merc with the 3rd least effective Read on👇 All cars have the DRS that reduces the drag of the upper (moveable) rear-wing plane However, this does not mean that its effectiveness is the same for all: a lower-load upper plane (Mercedes) will produce a lower drag reduction when the DRS open than more loaded ones (RB) I estimated the drag reduction due to the DRS by considering how the longitudinal acceleration achieved (for a given speed) grew when the DRS was active vs when it was inactive. The tow effect is included, but its impact is averaged when analysing each race lap. The results are: Team / Drag Reduction (the effect of the tow is included for all teams) -Aston: 20.7% -AT: 21.5% -Merc: 23.8%⬅️ -Alfa: 27.7% -McL: 27.9% -Alpine: 28.0% -Ferrari: 28.3% -Williams: 30.4% -Haas: 31.5% -RedBull: 31.5%⬅️ So yes, the RB had a significant advantage when opening its DRS: compared to when the DRS was inactive, opening the DRS gave RB an additional 7% drag reduction, which boosted its top speed by around 8km/h (for a given engine power, top speed decreases with the cubic root of drag) It turns out the Aston had the least effective DRS: this explains why PER had no trouble overtaking ALO on the straight, while ALO could not re-overtake PER despite running close to him for many laps.
