In Formula 1, dirty air refers to the turbulent airflow left behind a car as it moves at high speeds. This disturbed air disrupts the aerodynamic performance of a following car, making it harder to generate downforce—especially in corners—leading to reduced grip and increased tire wear.
As a result, drivers often struggle to follow closely or attempt overtakes in dirty air zones. Understanding dirty air is crucial in F1 because it directly affects race strategy, car design, and overtaking opportunities. With recent regulations aimed at reducing the effects of dirty air, fans can expect more competitive and exciting on-track battles.
To explain the graph above - we separated each track to 30 minisectors and for each sector in each lap we calculated how far is the car ahead. Then we categorize each piece of data in the 4 categories above, and after summing up everything we get the final result.
