Background

The question that has ruined many a social event:

Who is the F1 greatest of all time (GOAT)?

There are many opinions. Let's build a rating system to see if we can identify - at least - the data GOAT.

Install

Prerequisites

This project is built using Make, Python 3.11.19 and Poetry 1.8.3. Install these dependencies before continuing.

Data

Download the CSV database tables from ¹ and unzip them into data/raw. The table structure for these tables can be found in ².

Environment

Run make env in a command line interface (e.g. iTerm) to install Python dependencies for this project.

Usage

The model can be found in src/f1_elo. Run make data_e2e to build the model and predict ratings per driver and constructor for all races.

The streamlit app can be found in src/f1_elo. Run make app to explore the app locally.

Testing
