Season Salaries vs Current Salaries Distribution

This chart compares the distribution of driver salaries for the current race against the average distribution for the season. Two bars represent each salary range: one for the Season and one for the Current race.

  1. Season Bar Higher Than Current Bar: If the Season bar is higher than the Current bar for a particular salary range, it means fewer drivers are valued within that salary range for the current race compared to the average for the season.
  2. Current Bar Higher Than Season Bar: Conversely, if the Current bar is higher than the Season bar, more drivers are valued within that salary range for the current race compared to the season average.

Understanding shifts in salary ranges can offer valuable insights into the dynamics of the upcoming race. Here are some scenarios to consider:

  1. Season Bar Higher: This could indicate that the odds-makers are shifting their focus to other salary ranges, possibly considering the upcoming race as less favorable for drivers usually valued in this salary range.
  2. Current Bar Higher: This could mean the odds-makers see something special about the upcoming race that makes them adjust driver values. It could be track-specific skills, recent performance, or other unknown factors.

Strategic Implications

  • If a specific salary range is over-represented or under-represented in a given race, you might want to think twice before filling your roster with drivers from that range.
  • Recognize trends over multiple races to anticipate how odds-makers may set future salaries, which can give you an edge in building stronger lineups.
