F1 Regulations, Safety, And Racing Performance

Description

The F1 Regulations, Safety, and Racing Performance dataset provides an overview of key factors influenced by the evolving Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) regulations from 1990 to 2023. This dataset includes metrics such as the number of teams, drivers, races, fatalities, car weight, DRS implementation, and overtakes. It tracks the introduction of new regulations each season, especially those impacting aerodynamics, making it an essential resource for analyzing the long-term effects of regulatory changes on safety, racing dynamics, and overall spectacle in Formula 1.

The dataset enables detailed investigations into how FIA regulations have shaped the sport in terms of performance, safety improvements, and the number of overtakes, providing valuable insights into the interaction between these factors.

Columns:

• Season: The year the data corresponds to (1990–2023).
• Number of Teams: The number of teams participating in each season.
• Number of Drivers: The total number of drivers competing each season.
• Number of Races: The number of races held in each season.
• Number of New Regulations: The number of new FIA regulations introduced in each season.
• New Regulations Impacting Aerodynamics: The number of new regulations specifically targeting car aerodynamics.
• Fatalities: The number of driver fatalities recorded during each season.
• Average Car Weight (kg): The average weight of Formula 1 cars for the corresponding season.
• DRS: A Boolean value indicating whether the Drag Reduction System (DRS) was available during the season (True/False).
• Overtakes: The total number of overtakes recorded in a season.
