God damnit Max. He needs to learn to swallow his pride sometimes and shoot again when the time is right. I love the kid and I think he's doing great, but man he gets heated easily.

Lewis Hamilton was victorious in today's Russian Grand Prix at Sochi after the Mercedes team asked their drivers to switch positions. This clearly left Bottas disappointed after the race while third placed Vettel limited the damage in a weekend that saw Mercedes as the strongest team.

I'm pretty sure something like this has already been done and there's even a python script somwhere on github which runs OCR and then auto plots speed vs time. I think it even did some sort of interpolation between speed readings for better accuracy and easier understaing. Thing is.. i can't find it anymore.BazingaF1 wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 16:46Is it possible to extract from the video the velocity profile, gear, and engine rpm over time?
A more refined version might even include position on the track, but this requires a bit of extra effort.
I think this will dramatically improve our ability in comparing cars, performances, set ups and will make the forum a little bit more *technical*.
It shouldn't be too difficult:
1. extract frame from video
2. cut frame in specified position
3. run digit detector / machine learning / whatever you please
4. plot the results over time
I was thinking to writing some code myself, but then I thought some of you might have already thought about it, might already have access to graphs with all this data, or might be a better coder than me
Cheers
Vettel braked too late into turn two and compromised his exit. probably not relaxed as he looks.
I still can´t understand how RB is faster than Ferrari in this track. This makes clear how bad Ferrari has been here so far. Even if they overtake the Mercedes pair they will be smashed during the race. Hope I am wrong though.
And Hamilton also messed up his last lap too, so maybe he is equally not as relaxed as he looks?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 17:29Vettel braked too late into turn two and compromised his exit. probably not relaxed as he looks.
Disagree, it was a clean and in the light of Vettel's defense that went wrong underrated move. That's why I didn't think it was very bad driving from the latter, it would have been fine against slower and not as well positioned car.Shrieker wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 15:48Well, Hamilton showed no mercy @ Monza - it was a "back off or crash my lad" move. Look how that turned out. With 6 races out, things are far from over.
Red bull wouldn't be faster than ferrari in Q3 with max power. Not on this track.

Perhaps all the rumours about the team not being in harmony are true. Zero unity with everyone doing things their way would result in the sort of shockingly poor setup that they had through FP and quali (and most likely, the race).
However one chooses to deal with it, grief is personal. And it's all slipping away once again. I, like most of us, was hoping for a showdown in Abu Dhabi.Juzh wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 18:00How dare you mention the other side of the storyaral wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 17:51And Hamilton also messed up his last lap too, so maybe he is equally not as relaxed as he looks?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 17:29

Might also look at the fact that they were running close to Merc for the Championship with Vettel, but after a few hiccups the lead is vanishing. It could be hurt morale and people are just in a 'depressed' state; which absoulutely effects performance that you don't expect.GrandAxe wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 18:01Perhaps all the rumours about the team not being in harmony are true.

It seems for whatever reason that the drivers are either not throwing information at the engineers or the engineers just don't give a damn.
From fastest car, easiest on the tyres; to one that suddenly loves tyre sandwiches for lunch with feet slung up in a lazy chair behind Red Bull is not a great story. Not a great story at all.
