Doing some preparatory work [sic] ready for the new season, I’m aware that I fell badly
behind with the stats for the last few races. AFAIK I haven’t posted the Qualifying
statistics since the Belgian GP, nor the Overtaking since the European. I have done
the analysis of qualifying and will post that shortly, while I should get the
Overtaking done tomorrow.
I also didn’t post any thing about Engine & Gearbox usage since Spa – I’ll review
the data and see if it’s worthwhile posting anything.
I hope to be posting all of the usual stuff from this coming weekend.
