Lap Analysis for qualifying and practice — the Laps panel now opens in every session. In qualifying and practice it has two tabs, both following the replay time:
- Sectors — the session's best sectors and theoretical best lap, each driver's ideal lap, and a driver's laps with sector times coloured purple (session best) or green (personal best). Filter qualifying by Q1, Q2 and Q3; practice adds a chart of flying laps. Out and in laps are marked.
- Compare — two drivers' best laps side by side, sector by sector. On desktop, traces along the lap (gap, speed, throttle, brake, gear, with corner numbers) and Track dominance, which colours the track map by who was faster through each part of the lap.
-
Mini-sectors — in qualifying and practice, the leaderboard's sector markers fill in mini-sector by mini-sector, coloured as F1 shows them, and the focused driver's mini-sectors are drawn on the track map. On by default; switch between Sectors and Mini-sectors next to the Show/Hide Sectors button on the track map. Desktop only.
-
Deleted laps — laps deleted by the stewards are struck through in Lap Analysis, with the reason on hover, and don't count towards bests.
-
Sector times in lap pop-ups — the pop-up when a driver completes a lap shows each sector's time. Turn it off under Lap notifications in Settings.
Mini-sectors, deleted laps and sector end times need sessions reprocessed. Without that, sessions work as before, with normal sectors. Add just this data to processed sessions with python precompute.py <years> --lap-extras-only (downloads timing data but not telemetry, so it needs an F1 TV sign-in and the same network as other downloads).
