• Why race week practice data is mostly noise โ€” and what signal there is

    FP1 and FP2 run fuel loads and programmes that don't correspond to race conditions. The useful signal in practice is: tyre degradation rate at race fuel loads in long run stints (usually FP2 afternoon). Everything else is programme completion information. Teams know this. Bettors often don't.
