The 80-20 rule has become a general assumption in the F1 scene. We break it down for you.
In 2016, F1 champion Nico Rosberg had suggested that bagging a trophy at the races depended much more on the superiority of the car and the team, and allocated a very little part of the win to the driver.
Nowadays, however, F1 racers have the privilege to drive some of the most technologically advanced cars in the world. These cars are designed for their safety with minimum compromise from speed potential. On the other hand, the newly-proposed variable—which accounts for around 30 to 40 percent of what it takes to win F1—is the interaction between the driver and the car.
By acknowledging the complementarity of the two initial variables, the new variable shows that the drivers are valuable not only for the act of driving, but also as an independent agent in the process of improving the cars, owing to their feedback on the car’s performance.
