Sochi Autodrom 2017: Bottas, 81 Starts in the Making
The moment
The 2017 Russian Grand Prix at Sochi Autodrom, the moment Valtteri Bottas took the chequered flag.
A finish poster: the whole field at the chequered flag. Every running car sits where it was on the lap as the race was won, with the final classification down the side.
How the positions were found
Car positions reconstructed from timing data, built as vector art.
Car positions are estimated from timing: each car is set back from the finish line by its finishing gap to Bottas, converted to distance using a race-pace lap time taken from the fastest lap of the race and a speed profile of the circuit.
