🇬🇧Abu Dhabi 2021, last race of the season. Vestappen and Hamilton, Formula 1 drivers are fighting for the title of World Champion. They face each other at the Yas Marina circuit, both with 369.5 points. Hamilton is fighting for his eighth world championship title, surpassing Michael Schumacher's record number of victories, while Max Verstappen is fighting for his first world championship title. There can only be one winner, which will be decided on the last lap of the final circuit of the season.
This ETL project analyzes the most relevant data of the Abu Dhabi 2021 race, both external such as driver, car, position or result information, as well as detailed data of the fight between Hamilton and Verstappen, specifically on their last lap, by printing the telemetry of both cars.
🇪🇸Abu Dhabi 2021, última carrera de la temporada. Vestappen y Hamilon, pilotos de Formula 1 luchan por el título de Campeón del mundo. Se enfrentan en el circuito de Yas Marina, ambos con 369,5 puntos. Hamilton lucha por su octavo título de campeón del mundo, superando el récord de victorias de Michael Schumacher, mientras que Max Verstappen pelea por su primer título de Campeón del mundo. Sólo puede haber un ganador, el cual se decidirá en la última vuelta del último circuito de la temporada.
Este proyecto de ETL analiza los datos más relevantes de la carrera Abu Dhabi 2021, tanto externos como la información del piloto, coche, posición o resultados, como datos detallados de la lucha entre Hamilton y Verstappen, específicamente en su última vuelta, mediante la impresión de la telemetría de ambos coches.

This graph represents the values taken by the drivers on their fastest lap in Qualy. You can see how Verstappen is the one who leads the ranking with 1:22.109 in time while Hamilton follows with 1:22.480 in time. Since it was Verstappen who did the fastest lap, we decided to take a closer look at this lap in qualifying.
This is Verstappen's fastest lap in Qualy at the Abu Dhabi 2021 circuit in which we analyze using a color scale, with red being maximum speed, followed by less to more speed with colors from cool to warm. It can be seen how the speed has been maximum on the straights while in the curves it has been reduced.
Hamilton is the green color and Verstappen the blue color. Representation of the Abu Dhabi circuit in which you can see how Hamilton is much faster in curves while Verstappen is much faster in straights.
This graph shows Verstappen's race fastest lap on race day and you can see how on Sunday he improves his cornering times. This can be better seen in the average speed comparison graph between VER and HAM. The legend of this graph is from lower speed to cooler tones, from higher speed to warmer tones.
This graph belongs to the day of the race, Sunday. In which we see how Verstappen, in blue color improves his time in the corners, this will be better represented in the telemetry analysis of the last lap in which we see how Hamilton becomes faster in the straights while Verstappen accelerates before Hamilton and brakes before him.
Here we can see represented on the X axis the laps by Hamilton (blue color) and Verstappen (red color) and on the Y axis the race time. We can highlight the jump in the graph representing the exit of the safty car that has not counted as race time.
Carlos Sainz finished in third place, so we wanted to study the difference per lap between both drivers in order to establish a comparison between Vestappen (1st place) and Hamilton (2nd place) and between Hamilton and Carlos Sainz (3rd place).
We wanted to analyze the first sting between Hamilton (pink color) and Verstappen (green color), watching their progressive evolution.
🏎 Visualization of the comparison of traces, brakes and acceleration between Hamilton and Verstappen on the last lap
Graph analyzing the telemetry of Hamilton's car (green color) and Verstappen's car (pink color). In the first one, we can see the speed, how Hamilton is totally above Verstappen while Verstappen has an earlier braking than Hamilton (this we can see in the second graph; Brake). Finally we can see how in the last graph, acceleration in which Verstappen accelerates before Hamilton.
