2023 Pre-Season Testing - Bahrain International Circuit, Feb 23 - 25

[F1ern]

It is a good 2. stint Leclerc is on.

Still wondering why Ferrari has opted to test on the lower DF setup.

They must be confident that straightline speed will be to their advantage during the race.

Leclerc finished 38:3-ish, now in box and coming out for 3. stint.

Leclerc finished 38:3-ish, now in box and coming out for 3. stint.

There won’t be a third stint because of that unnecessary FIA test for yet another unnecessary rule change they’ll bring.

Did Ferrari install the floor upgrade they were supposed to get ?

Hey everybody, a fellow user contacted me, asking whether I could again provide the full timing data as a google spreadsheet. So here you go...

Full Lap Timing Data Bahrain Pre-Season Testing 2023

For reference, last years timing data, if anyone wants to compare:

Have fun analysing the data. I only gave the data a very quick look to check for plausibility. Please contact me if there are any major errors in there.

And for the data science enthusiasts, the tool for getting this (and more) data can be found here: https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1

Thank you for all that work!
Did you use scraping to extract that info?

It was good to hear Pat Symonds say about their efforts to close the field up less than the 3% performance spread, most important.
