Faster identification of faster Formula 1 drivers via time-rank duality (2024)
Journal Article
Fry, J., Brighton, T., & Fanzon, S. (2024). Faster identification of faster Formula 1 drivers via time-rank duality. Economics letters, 237, Article 111671. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2024.111671

Two natural ways of modelling Formula 1 race outcomes are a probabilistic approach, based on the exponential distribution, and econometric modelling of the ranks. Both approaches lead to exactly soluble race-winning probabilities. Equating race-winni... Read More about Faster identification of faster Formula 1 drivers via time-rank duality.
