You can look at F1 Tempo, it has data going back to 2018. Racefans also has interactive race data.
"Ultimately in Formula 1, we have the luxury of it being quite quantitative," he said.
"You see what kind of progress you are making in the wind tunnel and the computer simulations and you kind of know that a certain [development] rate will mean two tenths, half a second, seven tenths better at the start of the season.
"Realistically, we know that if you want to retain your competitiveness going into next season, you need to have half a second in hand. Otherwise, it's like what we have seen at the end of a season, it looks like you're moving backwards. It's just because you are steady and everyone is catching up.
"So, we will first of all look at the data. We already know pretty much this data, which I won't comment on. And then based on that, we will position the entire team internally and externally.
"We don't have to create false expectations because then reality comes to you in a violent way and we don't want to find ourselves in this position.
"At the same time, we don't want to downplay too much and then find we weren't ready to fight at the front and we didn't make good decisions because of that. So just to stick with the data, be realistic, be honest. That's our philosophy."
"The way I structure the season is we started uncompetitive, took a step in Austria, another step in Singapore. But there's a final phase of the season in which we have been steady from a development point of view," Stella pointed out.
"Many cars have brought upgrades, some of which have been quite successful. So, it's a phase in which it's not like we have degraded our performance, simply some other cars have closed the gap on us or have even overtaken us.
"Definitely, if we want to enjoy some of the results we have enjoyed in this third phase after Singapore, we do have to make a further step forward going on to next season."

Sainz seemed on average to be a little faster on race day, but nothing dramatic. You can see that for many races only one of the drivers would actually finish the race, there's probably more races where one driver finished than two.
If I recall correctly, I think Sainz had better racecraft and Lando was more cautious in his first season - this impeded his progress. But the racepace was in Sainz favour by a small margin.
Lando is an exceptional driver that went under the radar in his rookie season because people did not have a good read on Sainz.Dafnalina wrote: ↑13 Dec 2023, 03:40Thank you so much!mwillems wrote: ↑10 Dec 2023, 15:43You can look at F1 Tempo, it has data going back to 2018.
