Short note on the Australian F1 Grand Prix
Last year I had a couple of thoughts about Formula one and motor-sport in general, so I embarked on a research project. Still a lot of work to be done and conclusions to be reached.
I’m still not finished on the research and I don’t have a complete data set but one I started the research, sensibly, at the start of the season and started working through each race going back ten years or as far as I could go. I’m still not finished on all circuits. One of the early pointers I got from the data in the early races was that Melbourne had an above average rate of retirement.
It was about 10% more than Malaysia and double that of China. When you dug underneath that stat you find that mechanical failure isn’t above average but accidents are. Overall 4/10 cars retire for one reason or another at Melbourne. Thought you may like that stat ahead of the race tomorrow.

which market you suggest for F1
Early days for me on strategy. But the main volume markets are race winner & podium finish, so that’s probably where I will put my effort.
