Excellent work. Good to be reminded of Ricciardo's incredible drive in Abu Dhabi.

Ricciardo had an amazing season, I didn't think he was going to do much after his time at Toro Rosso.

That race made me wish I could isolate two drivers, to compare Ricciardo and Vettel.

That would be a nice feature.

It's possible here, but unfortunately the pit stops aren't highlighted as in the OP's version: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/11/23/ricciardo-beats-vettel...

It should be fixed now. Thanks!

F1 Fanatic has been doing something very similar for several years now: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.f1fanatic.co.uk+"la...

Though I guess their code isn't on GitHub :) The gap charts they have are nice as well.

Amazing seeing the chaos of some of the wet races, the early laps of Brazil 2012 is a pretty good example.

Nice, it looks like a D3 reimplementation of the old official Formula1 Java applet chart.

Are the F1 laps data available as API or as data dump on F1/FIA website?

I get the lap data from the Ergast web service: http://ergast.com/mrd/

Gosh those are pretty. Sort of reminds me of Pennant, that lovely baseball stat app from a few years back.

Very neat!

I'd love to see accompanying commentary. For example, what happened in laps 5-6 of Abu Dhabi? Mass chaos.

IIRC, They were routine pit stops

I like it!
