One of my favorite things about F1 racing is the data behind it. F1 cars are the most complex and advanced in any racing series. They collect huge amounts of telemetry data. The tracks also gather data during events, and race engineers analyze it week after week. They study everything from weather and tire temperatures to corner exit speeds. Data drives the sport forward in a major way.While learning about graph databases and Neo4j, I realized it was the perfect tool for answering a question I was curious about. We've all seen or heard of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," where nearly any actor can be traced back to the Footloose star. I wondered: could this work for F1 drivers? By comparison, it's a much smaller dataset than famous actors.
