In this episode of “Data Driven F1”, Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz analyze the 1953 season of Formula 1. The second year where the  championship had been organized based on F2-requirements. Defending  champion Alberto Ascari on Ferrari started as favorite, but should face  more competition than still the year before.

We discuss major engineering breakthroughs and analytics developments,  events, behavior, strategies and legacy of the season. We welcome  discussions, comments, additions to information we provide on this  channel. If you have any comments, ideas, factual corrections – do let  us know and we will do our best to take them on board and address in future episodes!
