Improve race technique and lower lap times.
Great to get your training started. First off, really good lap times, your consistency is very good and this is shown in the quality as well. Looking at your theoretical best you are only 1.5 seconds off the pace.
Look hard at your gear choice and remember the best gearing for each segment based on the reference lap. Try to copy these in a few laps to get a feel for how the car reacts in these gears. Listen to the engine and try to sense any changes in the balance of the car. Then if you are trying to improve at Jeddah, jump into the worse couple of segments (Segment 2, 4 and 6) and see where the biggest mistakes are. Tip, in Segment 2 there is no need to come off the throttle in the middle part of the segment. Determined practice here will get your lap time much closer to your theoretical time. Good luck!
It goes without saying that braking later reduces your lap time(assuming you make the corner). Even corners where the reference lap approaches the braking phase at a higher speed, you sometimes brake earlier. Focus on keeping your steering wheel straight to be able to brake as late as possible.
14% of your errors are braking too early which still needs looking at.
This can be seen in segment 1. Remember brake harder and a little later.
Just a little too early, good trail braking though. It is important to have a consistency in braking as this is really the best and only way to improve.
Gear choice is the understanding of which gear can be used in the corner to maximise control and most importantly speed of the car. Drop into too low a gear and the car could slow to match the gear ration, too high a gear and your acceleration won't be optimal.
Gearing errors is 19% of your total errors.
Segment 3 shows how you are using 4th gear while the the reference lap doesn't drop below 5th.
The easiest and quickest way to improve gearing mistakes is to copy the reference lap. Put all your thoughts aside as to whether it sounds wrong or feels strange. Start by just copying the lowest gear in a segment.
Full throttle is where the speed is. As long as you have control, the general aim is to get to full throttle as quickly as possible.
Late to full throttle is a common mistake with F1, as there is a fear of spinning the car. With over 16% of your mistakes here. Practise is important.
Segment 8 is a good example of how you apply your throttle. Here you lose over a quarter of a second by being a little too timid on the exit and as well as braking too early.
Take a moment to watch one of our videos that emphasises the need to get to full throttle quickly. Think smooth but fast, on / off the throttle will nearly always be slower than quick and smooth.
