Introducing wPF1

What is wPF1: wF1P means Weighted F1 Performance. It is something I am working on to try and analyse each F1 driver’s season and see who the top MRC driver truly was. It is based on a baseball statistic called wOBA and it uses weights to each event, in this case to each position in each F1 race, I also give weights to the car that each driver has at his disposal. For example from the information gathered the top machine in F1 this season was the Red Bull Racing Vaillante F1 and on the opposite spectrum (and not counting Mercedes for obvious reasons) we had the HamrHedZ Carriage WerkZ, so logically the expectations for the drivers in these two teams are quite different and cannot, or better yet, should not be analyzed equally, for those reasons each team was evaluated individually and given a weight depending on it’s potential, that was to try and make it as fair as possible. It analyses the races performances, not the qualifyings. It is a simple stat that doesn’t try to do too much. And that’s it, I already have the data for this season and you can check it out below.

Note: Drivers O. Nilson, P. Grandi and L. Bertelli were not accounted for for the season wF1P average and are not represented on the list, reason being that Mercedes did not develop a F1 car, and O. Nilson was retired.

Average wF1P in S18 was: 2.93
