Hi Professor Brambor and co.

Please find our topic proposal linked here.

Thanks, Group F

The proposal looks good

Looking at this:

For over time data that show comparison features, we'll include line graphs, or other time series graphs. We could include an interactive map feature, illustrating the various circuits or races that might make up an F1 season and the globe-trotting nature of the sport. If there is data to include a topographical dynamic map for race track elevation, we are interested in illustrating this element of the circuit. If the data allows, we'd like to illustrate crashes or contact between drivers by location on the race track or the lap number of the race.

This feels like it could be a lot more specific. What, exactly, are you trying to show happening over time, or over a geographic area?

If it were me, I'd want to formulate some very specific questions. One might be: is there a "home-field advantage," as they say in soccer? That is, do drivers win more if they've had more practice on the speedway where the competition takes place? Another might be: how important is having a fast pit stop? That is, what kind of correlation can you find between pit stop time (assuming this is recorded somewhere) and winnings? Does weather (whether it's raining, etc.) correlate at all with the number of crashes?

These might just be bad examples, but they might help to suggest the level of specificity you might want to shoot for.

Thanks for your feedback Jonathan. We're still in the scoping part of this project and have assigned out different areas to investigate to ultimately come up with a cohesive project. We should be landing on final questions (and some rough outline of viz) in the next couple of weeks.
