  1. I’d like to have a copy of your paper to play with it.
    I wan to add/revise somme points:

    – Gain in positions. Some drivers can start a race in low positions due to a bad qualy, an accident or a mechanical failure.

    – teammates gain/lost position in race (can qualy in front.. but end race behind)

    – How measure the “competition effect”

  3. Hi! I want a copy of your paper (if it is possible of course) to have a look in it.
    I love statistics (specially F1 stats :P) and I’m very interested in your model because I think I can learn many things from that great model 🙂

  4. I would like that paper please and thank you.

  5. Hey Andrew,

    I really like your website in general, the work you do here is impressive. Please keep it coming, and thank you for sharing this with the world.

    I also have to commend you for your patience. I’ve read some of your replies, and the amount of idiocy and idiots you have to deal with here is not small, and the polite and calm manner in which you respond is quite unusual on the internet.

    Cheers!

  8. I really like the articles you’ve been putting out. What you’ve been doing is absolutely amazing!

    If you don’t mind, I’d also like a copy of your paper, if you are still okay with giving copies. I want to play around with the model, and see what I can come up with.

    Hi Andrew. I Hope you’re doing well. I saw that you was willing to email people a PDF of the raw data of your top 100 drivers of all time list. if this is still the case can you send me a copy?
