FanDebrief exists because the best F1 stories are hiding in the data — and nobody is writing them for fans who aren't engineers.
Every race weekend, we pull real telemetry data from every session: lap times, sector splits, tyre stints, speed traces. Then we find the stories the standings don't tell — why a faster driver lost, where a strategy call decided everything, which corners separated teammates.
We write those stories in plain English. No jargon without explanation. No charts without context. The data is the evidence, not the headline.
Every article is written by one of our specialist analysts, each with a different lens on the sport. Jamie Carver thinks in strategy. Rosa Villanueva writes about the human side. Alistair Drum lets the numbers speak. Patrick Osei brings historical context. Nadia Ferreira picks a side and argues it.
Different voices keep the analysis fresh. The same race looks different depending on who's telling the story.
All telemetry and timing data is sourced via FastF1, an open-source Python library that accesses publicly available F1 timing data. We are not affiliated with Formula One Management or the FIA.
