Data Driven F1

The beginning of the new decade saw a Cooper dream-team with Jack  Brabham and Bruce McLaren as drivers. Could they repeat their previous  year's success, or Lotus or Ferrari take the crown? Ganna Pogrebna and  Patrick Henz analyze the season, including its victories, strategies,  technologies and legacy.

Three times Formula 1 world champion, engineer and team-owner – Jack  Brabham – is the Formula legend Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz discuss  in the next episode of Data Driven F1. Jack Brabham managed to win the  title not only as a driver, but also as a car constructor and team  owner. Additionally, Ganna and Patrick speak about the team Brabham’s race-engineer Gordon Murray and his famous Brabham Alfa Romeo “fan” car.

The end of the 1950s saw the rise of numerous smaller British  manufacturers. Especially Cooper became the base for various teams,  using different engines. On the driver-side, famous names like Bruce McLaren, Graham Hill and Jack Brabham joined the first ranks of a more  diverse championship. Another fascinating year for Ganna Pogrebna and  Patrick Henz to analyze.

The British businessman Tony Vandervell entered Formula 1 with a dream, but also a clear strategy:

Efficient Business Plan + Smart Management + Adequate Funding = Successful Car

With this mindset he pushed the sports  to the next level. Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz analyze his life,  career, decisions, victory and legacy.

The Vandervell team started with one clear goal: “to beat those bloody red cars.” A clear strategy should ensure achieving this dream. But was this  enough to create the first champion in British Racing Green, or could  Ferrari take the crown again? Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz discuss the 1958  season of Formula1, including the victories and tragedies. Furthermore,  we discuss major engineering breakthroughs and analytics developments,  events, behavior, strategies and legacy of the season.
