Introduction for New Readers
============================
I have posted these amateur analyses for several years now, in an attempt
to allow comparisons between Grands Prix, seasons, circuits, drivers, etc.
In order to make any meaningful observations it is essential to produce
these stats in as consistent a way as possible. To do this I have made
several "rules" that I try to follow for each race. Please note before
posting to complain that I missed an obvious passing manoeuvre that it
probably has been excluded because of my "rules". The rules are outlined
in the "Disclaimer" below - please read it.
This analysis was mainly derived from the official FIA lap chart, which is
usually available from www.fia.com, www.forix.com or www.autosport.com/f1/
on race day or the following day. The original chart remains copyright of the
FIA. Other excellent Formula One websites are available. This analysis is
completely unofficial.
Disclaimer
==========
For the purposes of this analysis, I only count what I will call "genuine"
passing manoeuvres, which means that I exclude:
a) any place changes made during pit stops
b) all lapping/unlapping manoeuvres
c) any changes during the first lap
Hopefully, a) & b) are obvious, c) is because although lap one is often the
best opportunity to make up places, it is also not typical of the rest of
the race, and so, for the purpose of comparing races with other races and
seasons with other seasons, it is simpler to exclude lap one completely.
For the purposes of this analysis a pit stop encompasses the slowing down
lap and the out lap, since any passes during those laps MIGHT be due to
the stopper slowing down or speeding up.
Note: Passes are not counted in these stats UNLESS the gained position is
held until the start/finish line is next crossed and so gets recorded onto
the lap chart. I try to ignore anything that isn't recorded in the lap
chart, even if it was seen on TV - in this way I try to keep the numbers
as consistent as possible.
These are the passes I read for the 2006 Chinese GP:
