F1 2011 Spain Free Practice - Timing Data

Here's a link to a spreadsheet containing the timing data from the three free practice sessions: F1 2011 Spain - Free Practice Timing Data

Columns included:

• Session (i.e. FP1, FP2 or FP3)


• Name (name of driver)


• DriverNum (the car/driver number)


• Lap (the lap number, corresponding to separate times on timing sheet)


• Time (laptime)


• Elapsed (elapsed time in the session, in seconds, as counted from the first time appearing on the timing sheet)


• Stint (the stint number, identified according to the heuristics described below)


• Fuel Corrected Laptime (that is, fuel weight penalty corrected laptime within that stint)


• Stint Length (the number of laps in the stint)


• Lap in stint (the lap number within the stint)

The heuristic used to identify stints is:
- ignore first "lap" time on timing sheet for each driver;
- end of stint if laptime > 1.5* fastest laptime in that session for that driver
