How do esports teams use F1 telemetry?
Professional F1 esports teams use telemetry analysis the same way real Formula 1 teams do - to extract every tenth of a second from driver and car performance.
How Pro Teams Use Telemetry
Driver Development
Teams analyze telemetry to help drivers improve:
- Braking consistency - Identifying whether a driver brakes at the same point every lap or varies their technique
- Throttle application - Checking how smoothly and early drivers get back on power
- Racing line optimization - Comparing driver lines through corners to find the fastest path
- Corner-specific weaknesses - Pinpointing exactly which corners cost time
Setup Development
Telemetry data informs car setup decisions:
- How setup changes affect speed through specific corners
- Tyre wear patterns and optimal stint lengths
- Trade-offs between qualifying pace and race consistency
Team Collaboration
In team environments, telemetry enables:
- Drivers comparing their data to find where teammates are faster
- Engineers reviewing multiple sessions to spot trends
- Sharing setups that produce the best telemetry patterns
Haas F1 Esports Uses F1Laps
Haas F1 Esports, the official esports team of the Haas F1 Formula 1 team, uses F1Laps for their telemetry analysis and driver development.
The platform provides the same analytical capabilities that professional teams need:
- Detailed telemetry charts for every lap
- Direct comparison against other drivers
- Historical data for tracking improvement
- Setup database for configuration sharing
Applying Pro Techniques to Your Racing
You don't need to be a pro to use these methods:
1. Compare Against the Best
Use F1Laps leaderboards to compare your telemetry against the fastest community times. This shows exactly where you're losing time compared to top players.
2. Focus on Consistency
Before chasing ultimate pace, analyze your telemetry for inconsistency. Are you braking at different points each lap? Is your throttle application smooth or erratic?
3. Study Specific Corners
Pick your weakest corners and study the telemetry in detail. Compare your inputs to faster drivers and practice those specific sections.
4. Track Your Progress
With every lap captured automatically, you can see your improvement over weeks and months - the same long-term development approach teams use with their drivers.
