Case Study: Formula One Stats and Info

Millions of fans and generating billions of dollars in revenue. The sport involves high-speed and high-tech cars competing on various circuits around the globe, driven by some of the best drivers in the world. The data behind the sport is also fascinating and complex, as it involves many variables such as drivers, teams, circuits, stadiums, race cars, and more. In this project, I will use SQL to analyze a dataset of Formula one races.
