Welcome to F1Crunch — your go-to space for turning raw data into race-day insight.

My journey with Formula 1 began during the early days of the turbo-hybrid era — when the roar of the Mercedes power unit echoed with dominance and precision. Watching that first race, I was immediately hooked by the sheer speed, the strategy, and the aura of invincibility surrounding that silver arrow. But what really pulled me in wasn’t just the sound or the spectacle — it was the post-race analysis.

Hearing the commentators dissect stints, tire choices, and sector times made me realize there was a whole other side to racing — one that lived in the numbers. I found myself pausing, rewinding, and researching, trying to understand how they read into the data and drew conclusions. That curiosity stuck. I kept persisting, learning how telemetry is read, how race pace is measured, and how performance trends can reveal the real story behind the highlight reel.

Now, here at F1Crunch, I break down what the numbers are really saying — whether it’s after a Grand Prix, a Friday free practice session, or a tight qualifying shootout. Expect lap time trends, tire stint breakdowns, pace comparisons, and the occasional spicy radio message analysis.

You’ll also find deep dives into old races, forgotten strategies, or telemetry quirks that deserve a second look. Because sometimes, looking back reveals just as much as looking ahead.

I’m Rutej — a curious engineering mind with a passion for motorsport and the numbers that power it. Whether you’re here to nerd out over race sims or just want to understand why your favorite driver faded in the final stint, you’re in the right place.
