F1 2024 Chinese GP Sprint Qualifying Data Analysis - What Did We Learn?

[@sebvettel2462]

I have been waiting for this upload. Incredible sprint session, shame for Leclerc he had the pace in the dry

[@MrPulseF1]

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it ❤️

[@toddhouchin3252]

Pulse, excellent analysis! You're really doing a nice job on describing the graphs. When I was a newcomer, I sort of had to figure out some things on my own, so the details you continue to add are very handy. Thanks for doing the SQ vid. Dry to wet made for some fun!

[@MrPulseF1]

Ahh thank you so much, I am glad you are enjoying all the little additions as time goes on

[@racing1000]

That delta in the Hamilton vs Russell SQ2 times proved Hamilton is truly the king of braking.

[@oldscooterguy1]

What about the effects of painting the track rather than resurfacing? Ever used a crosswalk in the rain? The painted portions are slick as goose poop! Happy to see the channel succeeding since I've been here from the start. My F1 fantasy secret weapon is being compromised!

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah painting the track surface sounds like cutting corners and it nearly backfired. Haha I still help out, I just help a few others now too 😂😂

[@mf1racer367]

Norris on pole sets tomorrow up nicely. I hope there is some more weather getting involved

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah me too it will be awesome

[@stephensegal5187]

I think if you did not qualify in the top 6 you are screwed for Sunday. For the Sprint that is suppossed to be dry, well, the cream always rises to the top!

[@sleepypixie8828]

its just baffling that a guy like stroll is pretty much guaranteed a seat and so many good drivers are out of a seat. How are people still defending him is beyond me.

[@MrPulseF1]

It's a joke and he will never actually risk losing his seat, it's so easy for him to just turn up and be below average

[@Pedro285]

Nice work as always Mr P. Any update on the weather there for the Sprint and likelihood of further trackside spontaneous combustion?

[@MrPulseF1]

I appreciate it 😀 There's a 50% chance of random fires for a nice little thunderstorm to fix

[@MooncricketsInc]

Nice to watch an f1 video without the crazy clickbait and rumors garbage.

[@MrPulseF1]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I try not to do any clickbait nonsense

[@Wintersun131]

Been a long time since an F1 session had me screaming at the TV

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah it was excellent 😀

[@FranSorex]

The only way this sprint race can be won in dry conditions: sprint ahead of Verstappen as soon as possible at the start of the race, keep positions and the top three drivers share DRS.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah, sadly that didn't happen, the great wall of Fernando did do some good defending to give a DRS train for a while

[@helenballinger5213]

I am not sure how I feel as I love Lando, George and Alex so really conflicted. Really happy for Landos pole but George and Alex had tough day. Williams are struggling at the minute but I hope they can bounce back ❤

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah I hope so too, hopefully it is just a rough patch for them and they can bounce back. They'll have a fresh chassis for one driver in Miami thankfully

[@briansingleton7985]

Going off track before Norris qualifying lap allowed him to fire off the intermediates. The friction helped...

[@francaistvavecyoussef22.]

Fantastic video as always. what are your predictions for the sprint race

[@MrPulseF1]

Thanks I appreciate it. Honestly if it is dry then Max will win, if it is wet then all bets are off

[@santamom_lolreal]

feel like ferrari threw off a chance of a 1-2 as they had the pace but norris looked strong 💪 hope in qualifying max won't be on pole

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah if it was dry they would have been further up definitely

[@luka58257]

I think hamilton will finish in the top five at least

[@MrPulseF1]

In the sprint it is possible, I just don't trust Mercedes have got it right

[@luka58257]

@@MrPulseF1 yeah if not for the weather he wouldn't finish P2, but tomorrow the dry race pace doesn't seem too bad

[@theuniversaldisneyian2021]

I got a question that maybe you can answer. Max said that at the end of SQ3, his engine was cutting out in certain parts of the track. Do you see anything in the data that seems to indicate that, or would it require a more in-depth analysis of engine performance?

[@matebenyo2367]

Both Red Bull and Ferrari driver said they cant heat up the inters, unlike the top 3 drivers car, and thats why the Red Bull and Ferrari stronger them in race pace and tire wear, and the wear is gonna be very high here, i think Red Bull and Ferrari gonna have an even bigger gap in the race compared to anyone else than usual (and the 1 practice held back them the least i think). If the sprint is dry my prediction is Max, Carlos, Lando, Checo and Charles. And the sq3 Carlos beat Charles again im not worried about that bc the 2:00.8 is Charles fist lap, Carlos first lap is a is a 2:04, and his 2nd lap (which is set around the same time as Charles first and only lap) is a 2:02 which is still more than a second slower, if Charles could do another lap he end up in atleast 3rd maybe 2nd. Charles qualy pace looks strong again, he just unlucky in the end (and cause a problem himself aswell),but i hope the rest of the weekend gonna be dry, bc i feel that maybe he has a chance again Max for the win.

[@MrPulseF1]

Oh yeah Leclerc was looking great this weekend, it all just started to come undone when it got wet. In the dry he looks like the Leclerc from the back end of last year

[@josephf467]

It’s called sprint qualifying again not sprint shootout

[@MrPulseF1]

Thanks for letting me know. Honestly I get lost with all the changes to sprint

[@marcoadrian16]

Pov:You hate lewis hamilton

[@MrPulseF1]

One minute I'm biased to Lewis the next minute I hate him 🙃 I can never win 😂
