Hayate • Swift Wind
Two Blades. One Race.
Hamon reveals the grid through qualifying precision.
Tamahagane predicts the podium through race endurance.
Both forged in telemetry. Both sharpened on the FastF1 API.
The Way of the Blade
In F1, victory is measured in thousandths of a second. A single mistake costs positions. A perfect lap secures pole. Hayate does not predict winners, it predicts time. Lap times in qualifying. Completion times in the race. The order emerges naturally from precision.
Like a samurai studying an opponent's stance, Hayate analyzes every data point: telemetry streams revealing throttle input, braking zones, DRS deployment. Sector times exposing where drivers gain or lose tenths. Tire compounds dictating strategy. Weather patterns reshaping the track. FastF1 API provides the raw steel. The models fold it into precision.
Two blades work in harmony. Hamon cuts through qualifying, sharp, decisive, revealing starting positions through single-lap mastery. Tamahagane endures the race, strong, flexible, calculating who maintains pace across 50+ laps under pressure. Together, they form a complete weapon.
The blade is still being forged. Data is being gathered, patterns studied, models tested. When complete, Hayate will cut through uncertainty with the precision of a master's strike.
Two blades. Two purposes. Both essential to victory.
The Temper Line
Named after the distinctive pattern along a katana's edge, the line that separates hardened steel from flexible spine. Hamon predicts qualifying lap times with surgical precision, revealing grid positions through calculated speed, not chance.
In qualifying, there is no margin. One lap. One chance. The blade must be sharp. Hamon analyzes telemetry, sector speeds, tire compounds, track temperature, every variable that separates pole position from the pack. Like the temper line that defines a blade's soul, Hamon defines who starts at the front.
The Data Forge
Telemetry streams, historical qualifying data, track-specific sector analysis, tire degradation curves, weather patterns, speed trap measurements.
The Folded Steel
Named after legendary Japanese steel, folded thousands of times to remove impurities and create unbreakable strength. Tamahagane predicts race completion times through endurance modeling, calculating who crosses the line first based on sustained pace, not fleeting speed.
Races are not won in a single lap. They are forged through consistency, tire management, fuel strategy, pit stop execution. Like tamahagane steel folded repeatedly until flawless, Tamahagane processes lap after lap of data, finding patterns in tire degradation, fuel load effects, race pace under pressure.
The Data Forge
Race pace modeling, tire compound strategies, fuel load simulations, pit stop timing analysis, historical race data, weather evolution, traffic patterns.
Every weapon requires raw materials. FastF1 API provides the data streams. Hayate forges them into predictions.
Speed, throttle, brake, DRS usage, every input captured in real-time through FastF1 API.
Track split into thirds. Each sector revealing driver strengths, weaknesses, and where time is won or lost.
Soft, medium, hard. Each compound with unique degradation curves, grip levels, optimal temperature windows.
Rain changes everything. Track temperature affects grip. Wind impacts braking zones. All variables, all data.
Plus: Pit stop timing, fuel loads, traffic patterns, safety car deployments, speed traps, brake points.
Every variable. Every data point. All flowing through FastF1 API into the forge where raw telemetry becomes sharp predictions.
The blade is still being forged.
Technical scrolls will be written as the models take shape, documenting the forging process, the data patterns discovered, and the precision achieved.
The blades are being sharpened. The data explored. The models tested. Interested in the process, the philosophy, or the precision to come?
