2023 Bahrain Qualifying Analysis (ROUGH)

Mar 07, 2023

Hey Everyone,
I was running solo this weekend and massively overloaded. I'm not going to email this one out, but I'm going to leave the charts here for a summary! For Saudi, we'll be back full steam.

Overview

  • Red Bull, Ferrari, Alonso, Mercedes

  • Ferrari seemed surprised to be that close

  • Aston Hype train (or Alonso hype train) is still moving ahead - come back to this

  • A bit disappointed by Alfa Romeo’s qualifying pace

  • And somewhat surprised by Alpine

  • VER and PER data certainly incorrect - Q3 R2 was a new soft tyre.

  • LEC saves a set of SFT tyres for the race - only one in top 10 with new SFT

Performance

  • Pole Bahrain

    • 2022 1:30.558 from LEC (VER 1:30.68)

    • 2023 : 1:29.708 from VER (LEC 1:30.00) - nearly 9 tenths faster

  • Quali Spread Bahrain

    • 2022: 2.5% with Aston slowest team

    • 2023: 1.9% with Williams slowest team

  • 10kph top to bottom with DRS on

  • Red Bull and Ferrari top of the speed trap with best single lap pace

  • Mercedes and Aston about 5kph lower - should still be able to DRS past slower car

  • Alpha Tauri completely opposite end to RB -they had to put on too much downforce and still were massively uncompetitive

  • Alpine not able to rocket-ship like they did last year, bit in the upper middle
