Treats a Formula 1 season as a series of Grand Prix rankings and measures how competitive (unpredictable) the championship is over time using the Kendall corrected evolutive coefficient, a multi-ranking generalization of Kendall's tau. The season's per-GP driver and constructor classifications become a series of possibly-incomplete, possibly-tied rankings; the coefficient is folded into a Normalized Strength index NS = (1 - tau_ev)/2 in [0,1] that serves as a Competitive Balance measure. Learners see how to encode absent/tied competitors, two conventions for zero-point constructors, validation of the metric via t-tests and a Shapiro-Wilk normality check, and cross-sport comparison of competitive balance (F1 vs. Spanish and English football leagues, 2012-2022).
Applies the recently introduced Kendall corrected evolutive coefficient, via a Normalized Strength index NS = (1 - tau_ev)/2, as a measure of Competitive Balance (CB) to the FIA Formula 1 World Champ…
