This brief asked to look at a dataset and create a magazine spread that showcases the data in a rather intuitive manner along with an article.

I was rather interested in Formula 1 and knew that they deal with millions of datasets both within a race and off a race. I then began to look into the various datasets particularly when in races. I decided to have a look into one of the livestreams of the event and was rather surprised at how much data there was; not only the speed,gears and position but data such as wheel angle and the use of suspension to gain the edge within a race.

I began to research different data sets and began testing what connections I could find and what stories they could tell the reader. I then encountered a really interesting video which showcased all of the telematics from a particular lap and it was rather interesting to see all of the lines and the values behind all of the increase and decrease lines across of 1 Lap.

I then began to take note of data that was rather interesting and rare to find such as the wheel angles and suspension on each wheel, then when collating all of the data points may seem rather complex however when converting this data into a visualisation it converts something that’s complex into something much more simplistic and clearer.

I used the data to create a data point based on where within the lap the car was in so that the reader could easily understand and almost follow the driver without watching the race. Furthermore making telemetry data much more easy to understand. The spread included graphical elements from a race and was riso printed with a red and blue finish.
