Formula 1 is one of the most competitive sports in the world. Engineers and technicians from every team use weather radar screens, provided by Ubimet to the teams, which allows them to track the current weather and make predictions during the race. Race engineers relay precise information to drivers, including:

How many minutes until it starts raining Intensity of the rain Which corner will be hit first by the rain Duration of the rain Dataset Description

I will go through Formula 1 2021 Weather Data for the Formula AI Hackathon '22 - Challenge 1.

Here is some of the important attributes:

• SESSION_UID: Unique identifier for the session
