03/2024	Our paper Faster identification of faster Formula 1 drivers via time-rank duality has been published on Economics Letters. We provide a novel approach to estimate race-winning probabilities, which leads to new insights regarding driver-level versus car-level effects, as well as a simplified Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. The paper can be found here. The annotated R code to reproduce the findings is here

12/2023	Our preprint Faster identification of faster Formula 1 drivers via time-rank duality is out. We provide a novel approach to estimate race-winning probabilities, which leads to new insights regarding driver-level versus car-level effects, as well as a simplified Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. The annotated R code to reproduce the findings is here
