The twelfth round of the 2024 Formula 1 championship ended with another thrilling photo-finish, as Lewis Hamilton held off Max Verstappen’s relentless charge to claim a stunning victory at Silverstone. The British Grand Prix was chaotic, featuring five drivers contending for the win, with the final order uncertain until the last lap. This race underscored Formula 1’s recent shift away from the dominance of Red Bull and Max Verstappen.The resurgence of McLaren and Mercedes, along with Sergio Perez’s struggles, has kept the constructors’ championship wide open—a rarity in the past decade. This prompts a closer look at the competitive landscape of the 2024 Formula 1 season, examining the technical and regulatory factors behind it, using telemetry data. A glance at the gaps between race winners confirms the trend, except for the early Asian rounds dominated by Red Bull.In the following races, the gap between the winner and the second-place driver has significantly decreased, even dropping below a second at Imola. This trend has continued for the past five races, highlighting two notable features: the diversity of teams and drivers competing for victories. At Imola, Barcelona, and Canada, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen were the main contenders; in Monaco, it was Charles Leclerc versus Oscar Piastri. Austria saw a battle between George Russell and Oscar Piastri, while in Britain, it was Lewis Hamilton versus Max Verstappen.

    This scenario, with four teams and eight potential winners, hasn’t been seen since 2012. This year, six different winners from four teams have emerged in the first half of the season.Twelve years ago, there were eight winners from five different teams. For many fans, 2012 evokes nostalgic memories, and this year’s similar trends are promising. The reduced use of Safety Cars or red flags has contributed to these close finishes; the Safety Car hasn’t been deployed since the Canadian Grand Prix, with only four instances across twelve races and two red flags.This results in smoother races, highlighting the drivers’ pace, tire management, and pure performance. For statisticians, calculating average pace or percentage gaps between similarly performing cars in minimally interrupted races will yield smaller differences. The recent trend is technically driven: teams have mastered the ground-effect cars in their third year, learning how to maximize performance, leading to technical convergence that narrows the gaps between teams.

    the 12th round of the 2024 Formula 1 championship delivered another photo finish with Lewis Hamilton fending off a Relentless charge from Max ver stopen to secure a remarkable victory in front of the home crowd at the Silverstone circuit the British Grand Prix was chaotic with Five drivers contending for the race win and the final order remained uncertain until the last lap this British Grand

data a simple look at the gaps between the race winners confirms the initial hypothesis except for the early Asian rounds dominated by Red Bull in subsequent races the gap between the winner and the second place driver has significantly decreased even falling below a second at the amola circuit this trend has continued for the past five races with two notable features firstly the diversity of teams and drivers competing for victories at Imola Barcelona and Canada Lando Norris and Max verstappen were the main contenders in Monaco it was Charles lerk versus Oscar piastri Austria saw the battle between George Russell and Oscar piastri while in Britain it was Lewis Hamilton and Max ver Sten this scenario with four teams and eight potential winners hasn’t been seen since 2012 this year there have already been six different winners from four teams in the first half of the 2024 Formula 1 season 12 years ago there were eight winners from five different teams for many fans 2012 evokes nostalgic memories and this year’s similar Trends are promising the reduced use of safety cars or red flags enhances these close finishes the safety car hasn’t been deployed since the Canadian Grand pre with only four instances across 12 races and two red flags this leads to smoother races highlighting the driver’s Pace Tire management and Pure Performance for statisticians calculating average pace or percentage gaps between similarly performing cars in minimally interrupted races will yield smaller differences the recent trend is technically driven teams have mastered the ground effect cars in their third year learning how to maximize performance leading to technical convergence that narrows the gaps between teams a similar situation occurred at the end of the 2017 to 2021 cycle and it’s likely that this year and next the final season under current regulations will see performance gaps close further the allocation of computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel hours inversely proportional to Championship Standings accelerates this process with the reduced importance of the car the difference now lies in the driver skill and the Strategic decisions made from the pit wall the silver Stone race was decided by the right call at the right time it seemed like a straightforward race for Lando Norris but a delayed call by just one lap negated his slight Advantage the wrong choice of soft tires allowed Max for stoen to close the gap on hard tires while Lewis Hamilton’s masterful management of the same soft tires kept him ahead of the Dutchmen hopefully the remaining 12 races of the 20124 Formula 1 championship will continue this trend offering unprecedented excitement and possibly a close fight for the constructor’s title The Silverstone round concluded the first half of the 2024 F1 season 12 rounds that therefore saw six drivers and four different teams claim victories initially Red Bull’s dominance suggested nothing had changed from the previous campaign however the natural performance convergence under stable regulations and the unexpected vulnerabilities of the rb20 have made the races more exciting yet Max vert and ability to maximize results has made a difference even without the best car this combined with the constant changes in veren’s main competitor has allowed the Dutchman to progressively extend his lead over the nearest rival currently Lando Norris despite Red Bull’s development process never stopping their performance Plateau should be a stimulus for the competition however the team that has shown the most potential since Miami has been squandering the chance to compete for the championship titles we are of course talking about about McLaren which could and should have done much better at Imola Montreal Barcelona Austria and lastly at Silverstone nonetheless norris’ Gap to versten is significantly smaller than Perez’s despite the same number of races furthermore there are still 12 races left this season instead of 10 it seems that the woking team has reached a technical leadership position they did not expect and Norris still lacks something to lead the team effectively meanwhile the world champion benefits from the situation the Dutchman understands that with the available resources the title will come through consistent performance the second place in England was almost like a victory as it allowed him to extend his lead in the standings despite his Pace being clearly inferior to the Mercedes and McLaren drivers at various stages of the race despite the rb20 not being as dominant as its predecessor Max has scored only 59 points less than in the 2023 season Red Bull’s competition risks remembering this season as a missed opportunity for various reasons for McLaren it’s the lack of experience and aggression needed to aim for the highest Stakes regarding Ferrari The Season’s performance has been mixed quantitatively the season on season balance is positive with two wins and 302 points in the constructor’s standings 111 more than last season however the sf24 has been dominant only in Monaco while Carlos s’s win in Australia was aided by Max for sten’s early retirement the qualitative assessment of Ferrari’s first stint in 2024 is marred by a performance decline coinciding with the second updates debut the updates did not deliver the expected results in practice leading to a return to the previous spec after comparisons this setback has dashed Ferrari’s title hopes with Carlos Saints admitting that three months of development were wasted while the competition did not stand still the hope is that the latest update can be reused understand understanding the problem’s nature mercedes’s winds in Austria and England should be taken cautiously without the tussle between Max and Lando which effectively took them out of the victory fight Russell would not have won similarly the British Grand Prix was run under conditions historically favorable to Mercedes with low ambient and track temperatures allowing the w15 to operate its tires within the correct window benefiting from changing conditions Hungary and Belgium will reveal if Mercedes Resurgence is due to car evolution or favorable circumstances in the 2024 Formula 1 Constructor standings McLaren’s Leap Forward is rather incredible even considering the team’s significant Improvement in the second half of the previous campaign Aston Martin has returned to its 2022 levels with 128 fewer points in 2024 at the same stage last year Lawrence strolls team was still in third place in the Constructor standings thanks to a stellar start to 2023 with Fernando Alonso regularly fighting to finish on the podium all signs point to an exciting second half of the 2024 Formula 1 season for this scenario to materialize Red Bull’s competitors must consistently maximize their potential and keep updating their cars as the Austrian team’s cars seem far from unbeatable hopefully Ferrari will also be able to come back stronger after understanding and fixing the recent problems caused by the latest aerodynamic package introduced on the sf24 single Ceder in the Spanish GR pre
