Daniel Ricciardo put in a stonking lap during Q3 at the 2023 Mexican GP! Here’s a comparison between him and Checo which showcases how he made up the massive straight line deficits.

What telemetry is available to generate these animations? Is it all just from transponders? Are there enough transponders for such granular speed resolution? I think the FIA has direct access to some amount of onboard telemetry, which would make more sense than transponder data. If so, how is the car’s lateral position determined?
I’m sure the teams are more than capable of deriving this, but how much is proprietary?
Not the author of the video but I’m guessing most data comes from FastF1 or a similar telemetry data API. FastF1 can provide timing data, speed, rpm, gear, normalized track position etc.
