Rather belatedly, I got around to posting a series of posts summarising the Formula One season to date:
- F1 2012 Mid-Season Review – Grid/Classification Analysis: for example, how do the drivers’ grid and final classifications compare?
- F1 2012 Mid-Season Review – Pit Stops: for example, how does pit stop performance across the teams compare?

- F1 2012 Mid-Season Review – Qualifying Analysis: for example, how do normalised qualifying lap times compare across the teams over the season so far?

It’s also worth comparing the charts to the F1 2011 Season Review charts.
The R-code used to generate the graphics can be found here: F1 2012 Mid-Season Review – R Markdown.
Comments/suggestions/code improvements and extensions etc all welcome…
