Racing is, or should be, about drama, tension, excitement and emotion. But is there a place for objectivity and statistics to tell us something about the felt quality of racing?
If so, consider a real F1 race in which actually occurred:
- 25 changes of the lead
- 8 different drivers led the race
- 6 different constructors led the race
- 4 different engines led the race
- Margin of victory 0.01 second
- Top 5 finishers with 0.61 seconds
- Winner qualified 11th
- 24 cars qualified
- no one injured
- first 8 finishers from 7 different teams
- Dry, hot weather
Does this sound boring or outrageous? Or does it seem like something you might like to experience? Let me tell you this is currently impossible in the world we have come to accept. It happened in a Golden Age that cannot come again. Or can it?
