MODERATORS
They fucked up their wheel nuts over the winter break by using a new alloy, but forgetting to test it under race conditions. Turns out it expanded when hot (like during a race) and got stuck, so they had a bunch of like 20+ second pit stops in the beginning of the season, which really tanks their average.
Nah, serving a nice cuppa tea
Sauber does it differently.
Mercedes has improved so much. They used to be consistently near the bottom.
βY Bottas entra a boxes..."
Could you post the median values or even better visualise the distributions or give the data? Sauber had a few really bad pit stops at the beginning of the season which pulls their average down a lot, but doesn't affect the median that much.
Sorry, I don't have any additional data. I just saw the post on Mastodon and thought it was an interesting tidbit.
