Deep-Racing: An Embedded Deep Neural Network (EDNN) Model to Predict the Winning Strategy in Formula One Racing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents an embedded deep neural network model to predict the driver rank and the optimum pitstop strategy.In formula one racing, the race strategy is critical to determine optimal pitstops and finish the race in the best possible position.Considering a system with only one racing car, the pitstop can be decided just by looking at the degradation of the tires.But in reality, the formula one environment is more complex, and multiple probabilistic factors (like safety car phases, opponent strategy, and overtaking) influence the pitstop decision.Deep-Racing is a prediction and decision algorithm for formula one racing cars that uses neural networks with embedding layers.The algorithm is developed after carefully reviewing formula one racing and appropriate statistical modeling techniques, which can be trained for pre-race and real-time predictions during the race using the data from previous laps.Deep-Racing has the potential to help team principals and race engineers to decide the optimized strategy for making pitstops.It is trained on the data from seasons 2015-2022.This project is the first to utilize an embedded layer in motorsport racing predictions, and the results show an improvement in predictive accuracy compared with the previously available literature.This paper significantly expands the previous research in this field and proposes trends in the data available from the latest seasons.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
