        @mclaincausey dude thats crazy detailed. Good analysis! There were a few surprises in the data but generally it confirmed a lot of the preconceptions I had about most of these guys. I think you did a great job with your methodology, controls, and balancing factors, etc. The only way we could really know for sure is by giving them all spec'ed cars, but that would take the fun out of it!
        My buddies have all talked about how it'd be cool to have all the F1 drivers do a race or two in identical cars each year for bragging rights, but I think the closest we'll get to that was the Lego race.
        Thanks for sharing your research!

          @Bridger yeah that’s an artifact of the timeframe starting in 2020. If it went back further you’d see Kimi go way up.

          I one day will update my retrieval script to get more data. Maybe like go back to 1980 or something. It would be really cool to compare the greats of past eras to Max. I think I’d need to adjust the model though to account for differences in the sport when going back that far.

          No problem @WhiskeySandwich ; I agree that the model results mostly don’t surprise, which is one thing that makes me think it is solid. I didn’t try to fit the outcome in any way to what i think but it came out close.

          Think it, be it.

            Here we go! Max seems to be enjoying himself (which is always a threat).

            Nice of Yuki to give a parting gift to RB.

            Oscar seems calmer than Norris despite the result in the post-quali interview, will make for an interesting race. 😁

              I like Lando and think he’s a great driver…that said he gets into his own head too easily and will have to control that to be one of the greats.

                  @Bridger I don’t think many of us would…that is where I think Max has the game figured out.

                    Definitely - the way Max fought and won against Lewis in previous years is a testament to his mindset. He's a beast.

                      Well done to Lando. Would have liked some jeopardy, but cool heads all around.

                            Hats off to McLaren for a good strategy, the stewards for a good call, and Lando for the WDC.
