I found this interactive data chart and I think it had a few good parts and a few parts that needed work. As far as the negative parts of the chart the headline isn't very descriptive and neither is the chart. Is the numbers in percents? meters? inches? All in all its very confusing and doesn't give enough information for a average person to decipher what exactly the chart is trying to explain. The positive parts about this chart is that  it allows you to choose the individual's stats you'd like to see. Each lap ( bottom numbers ) correlate with the side numbers to show the individual racers position.
