I like the idea that weather is the ultimate small talk subject.
So I made smol talk.
80 years of Melbourne weekly minimum temperatures, compressed into one big field of tiny marks.
There’s a pattern in there somewhere.
Probably.
Every little mark is a week.
Every bigger, more chaotic mark is a colder week.
Every lap of the Australian GP from 2022–2026, turned into a pile of circles.
Each circle is a drivers lap.
The bigger the circles the slower lap.
Left to right is the lap number.
Each row is a different year.
Then I duplicated the whole thing a bunch of times, changed the colours, line weights, transparency and positions, and layered them all up 🤷♂️
So basically… 5 years of F1 lap data turned into this weird little data blob.
