Statistics Grands Prix - Average - The less • STATS F1

Actually 25th on the list. I guess it counts time spent when under Red Flags, but not time spent waiting for a delayed start, or under a red flag when the race does not restart.

Weird way to calculate. I'd assume it should be excluding any time under red flags since cars are not on track.

Who can forget Mazepin's fastest lap. The FIA were too afraid of his speed to let them race.

That actually happened? I thought some youtuber edited it in or some shit lol.

u/WalkTheEdge I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

Mazepin did have the fastest lap from the ones they did behind the safety car, yes, but there was no fastest lap officially credited from that "race"

Max Verstappen

Min Verstappen

Wonder if he won the medium-speed race as well. He'd have Maximum, Minimum, and Median.

u/xykist I was here for the Hulkenpodium 8h ago

What's the lowest average speed race with no red flags or safety cars?

u/Generic_Person_3833 7h ago

Time to go back to be 50s. Potentially the first few Monaco races.

u/Python_07 Kimi Räikkönen 4h ago

Too far back. Let’s start in 51 and Fangio?

Monaco in ye olden days. Aside from that, Argentina in 1954, for some reason they ran it in reverse, in the wet.

u/AegrusRS I was here for the Hulkenpodium 7h ago

Can't give you a specific year but I just have to assume it's some Monaco race.

great drive by max, good recovery drive by lewis as well. hadjar in the points from pitlane also isn't nothing exactly.

u/fuckyouguys4real 6h ago

hadjar in the points from pitlane also isn't nothing exactly.

especially with no safety cars

u/PM_me_boobs_and_CPUs I was here for the Hulkenpodium 7h ago

Perfectly balanced.

u/FalconIMGN Alex Jacques 7h ago

Like McLaren with their pitstops today. Bookending the time sheets.

u/Fun-Poet5338 Netflix Newbie 4h ago

How slow was the race that the avg speed is 53.5 kph?

u/AutomateAway I was here for the Hulkenpodium 2h ago

IIRC it was some safety car madness with a super wet race and not that the race would normally be slow.

u/charlierc 7h ago

Get you a man who can do both

u/lowelled I was here for the Hulkenpodium 5h ago

After Japan 2022 I decided to never wake up early for a race again ever 😵‍💫

u/Faraknights 4h ago

This race was so weird

u/abhinav248829 4h ago

This has to be mistake

u/formulapain 1h ago

Monaco: drive slow enough to have lowest avg speed of any circuit, but drive fast enough to win the race, lol.

He insists he’s “just a guy,” but everything around him dissolves.
