Concept
"In my being very happy if all cars and all laps of F1 can look."
It is a publication site of all cars & all lap times when it made up its mind to make it from such a simple doubt.
There is such a site nowhere even if I look around in the whole world.(Already it about several drivers of finals race.) That kind of thing should make a site with oneself !
Order is a result to the last. I want to know ... whether it is consecutive runs whether it is one lap of attack how about a state of a tire. I aim at a site for such an F1 fan.
Laptime entry
Though I do not pick it up in an official site either, how do I think all lap times of all cars to improve in a homepage?
As for the live broadcasting timing, do you know, everybody? It is a screen displaying section thyme in real time.
Only 0.1 second units are displayed, but it is going to be a lap time if I put down the number thoroughly if I add it up.
When a driver updated best time for a lap time of a screen, it is displayed.
A try & error
Actually, I tried it once in 2004.
At first I tried to carry it out by handwriting, but was very hard. In addition, as for the driver to intend for, two were limits.
I prepared a digital camera by the next race.
However, image is bad, and thyme is not readable for camera shake.
I prepared a tripod by the next race.
When I fixed it before a monitor and copied it in macro, I was successful.
However, it was considerably hard to photograph all cars without a mistake.
In this way I was able to finally achieve an aim after trial and error by I got up constantly for 10 seconds, and pushing a shutter.
I became the terrible photography number of sheets.
The photography number of sheets increases when I lower the number of the pixels, but reading becomes difficult.
I built more memory of a digital camera.
In addition, I am worried about a power supply of a digital camera, too.
Because focus alignment became needless after completion by setting, I turned off a power supply of a monitor.
In this way I am able to have come to photograph it at least for one hour.
However, I experienced running out of battery sometimes. （An AC power is essential）
I use screen capture software from 2006.
Data entry with Excel
But it is considerably hard, as a result, to gather it up.
Adding up of section time is almost impossible by manual labor.
Therefore I input it with Microsoft Excel and I was automatic and was able to give the total.
The input is hard, but I make a change of a lap time a graph and can compare a driver and a car! （In fact, I wanted this!）
However, the input is hard because a lot of the third drivers of Friday run.
Handling of data does not have a meaning unless they improve by the end of the day. （At the latest before a run of the next day）
Oh, the night of Friday seems to become hardest.
In addition, it seems that importance increases in a publication for all lap times because a Qualifying method changes from 2006. （I think without permission）
Make a graph
I make a graph for the cause by the lap time data which I input.
It is hard to consider it to display a lot of information to one graph.
Therefore I make a driver fast each of a team a graph.
I make a graph in the case of a race every team and let you display the winner for comparison together.
Viewpoint of Laptime data and graphs
Please choose the session which you want to watch than "Lap time & Graphs" of a top page.
A page is made newly. Please close a browser if you finish looking.
This becomes a page every session. When you want to compare plural sessions, you open up a page separately, and please line up in coordination with screen size.（You can open plural same sessions.）
It may be easy to come to consider that you change a size of a browser.
Drivers line up in the right sequentially a team when they scroll, and lap times form a line when they go below.
Arrangement of a team is constructors ranking of the last year. (as for it car No.)
Light blue is a 1st driver, and white is a 2nd driver, and a gray color displays a 3rd driver.
A graph displays it in the lower part of data.
A cross axle is an elapsed time of a session, and a vertical axis is usually a lap time.
But I do a cross axle with the number of the laps when I am hard to consider it to make it an axis by F1 tests in time.
In addition, I assume a cross axle the number of the laps in final race and I use the second axis of the right side and display pit time with a bar graph. Pit time is not real stop time. It is time displayed on a live broadcasting timing.
About Excel data
Data to carry are going to improve two kinds.
When it stuck a graph image on a list page of an HTML form and one is already straight data of Excel.
If Excel is installed in your PC, you can read it
If you have Excel and know a lot about graph operation, you change a selection area, and favorite comparison is possible. (For freedom)
There is a link to Excel data in a bottom of a page.
If Excel is not installed in your PC, but you can look that you install a free Microsoft Excel Viewer.
Expectation of "used to New tyre "
It is the surroundings that I expected that the part of yellow scenery of Excel data "used a new tyre".（After 2006 San Marino GP）
In addition, you can confirm where is the individual lap which used a new tire for only on Excel data.
I make other page "Tyres" after Quaryfing session, and display used tires number and a remaining new tires.
The expected method is from improvement of a lap time when a driver used a new tire.
In addition, I consider how a team and a driver use seven sets of dry tires decided in regulation.
Attention !
There is a weak point in a calculation method for this lap time.
Because indication 0.1 are second units, it means that thereunder cuts it off.
Therefore an error of 0.099 seconds may occur at a maximum per section. （About 0.3 seconds's greatest with one lap）
In other words a fast lap time is calculated than a fact.
In addition, finals race is not going to input sector time because thyme of 1/1,000 second units of every lap should be displayed.
However, start surroundings and pit in surroundings calculate sector time of front and back lap for reference so that a lap time is not displayed.
Oh, please understand it because this is a thing without a way.
Others
It may be good a parenthesis when I add sleeve notes to the material by data and the graph which I made.
If room is given to me, I want to try to examine it.
I may be busy with only data count and a homepage publication till then.
In addition, I ride (when it is announced, I am limited) for all lap times of some F1 tests.
By an F1 test performed in Barcelona, all lap times are announced in official site (PDF).
But You cannot read it if a test day does not have it in front and back.
I misappropriate these data in this site and make a graph and show it with Excel data.
If F1 official page carries out a publication for all lap times, this site becomes duty pardon and is finished.
If your pleasant F1 life can help it, I am happy.
(My English is poor, and I'm sorry.)
