Inversions Per Lap — All Years
2024 vs 2025 vs 2026 — hover for exact values. Higher peaks = more overtaking activity.
Cumulative Inversions — Race Chaos Over Time
Steeper slope = more chaotic phase. The gap between curves shows the effect of regulation changes.
Driver Position Changes by Year
Positions gained (green) or lost (red) from grid start to finish.

Methodology
Inversions are counted using a Fenwick Tree (BIT) per lap, measuring each lap's position array against the original grid order. Start→finish totals use a MergeSort-based counter. DNF drivers are excluded from inversion counts but shown in movement charts. Data via FastF1.
