Tempered Analytics is one engineer and an automated pipeline.

Why Formula 1

The timing and telemetry are public, and a fresh result lands roughly every other weekend.

How I work

• Straight from the source. Every chart and every number in the analysis comes from raw session timing and telemetry, never from broadcast footage or someone else's graphics. The data is the sport's; the analysis is mine.
• Calibrated. A prediction comes as a range that shows how confident the pipeline is, so you know how far to trust it. When the data is not enough to know yet, the analysis says so.
• Fast. The pipeline builds a finished analysis within hours of a session, to the same standard every time.
• Checked after the race. Every prediction is checked against the data from the race. What the check finds goes back into the pipeline.
• Independent. Not associated with Formula 1, any team, or any sanctioning body.

The name

Tempering is the heat treatment that finishes steel: it trades a little hardness for toughness that lasts.

In everyday English, tempered also means measured and restrained. The name is meant in both senses.

The mark

The mark is a gauge: three arcs and a heat point at the centre, like the face of a measuring dial. When steel is heated its surface runs through a sequence of colours, and that sequence is the palette. It ends on a cool steel blue, the same family as the blue in the charts, so the brand and the charts match.

Who's behind it

I'm an engineer turned data scientist. One rule covers everything published here: nothing goes out until the numbers check out.
