F1 Laps Data
Where do your tyres die fastest? This page measures real tyre wear per lap at every F1 26 track, pulled from the race laps players upload to F1Laps. It's per-wheel telemetry, not a model, and it refreshes on its own as new laps come in.

Belgium wears tyres ~1.8× faster than Brazil. Softs shed about 3.9% per lap at Belgium, against 2.2% at Brazil — the widest gap on the calendar. Plan your stints around it.
Median Soft wear per lap at each track, highest first. Medium and Hard sit alongside it, plus a rough estimate of how many Soft laps you get before the set is half worn. A dash means we don't have enough laps on that compound at that track yet.
Some tracks eat rear tyres, some eat fronts. The number is how much harder one end works than the other — a ratio of 2.0 means the rears wear twice as fast as the fronts. Rear-limited tracks reward smooth throttle out of slow corners; front-limited ones punish braking and turn-in.
Tyres don't wear at a flat rate — the older the set, the faster it goes. Here's median wear per lap in each age window, per compound, so you can see the drop-off. Softs fall off the hardest as they age, which is the real story behind compound choice: it's not which one wears fastest fresh, it's how quickly each one runs away from you.

Intermediates wear a lot slower than slicks — you're carrying less speed and less load through the corners. Here's median Inter wear per lap where we have enough wet laps, highest first.

Every number here is a real per-wheel wear reading off race laps — we take the wear at the start of a lap, the wear at the end, and the difference is what that lap cost the tyres. We use the median across thousands of F1 26 laps and drop pit in-and-out laps, so a tyre change never sneaks into the figure. It all refreshes automatically as more laps land.
Treat these as directional. Fuel load, setup and driving style all move wear around, so your own laps will land higher or lower than the median.
We don't tell you which lap to pit, and that's deliberate. Players change tyres at wildly different wear levels — some box at a third worn, some run them into the ground — so any "pit around lap N" number would say more about the crowd than about your race. The tyre-life figures are a rough guide to how long a set lasts, not a strategy call.
