Data Thursday

Hi there 👋

At Data Tribes, we organise meetups because we truly care about sharing knowledge—both within and beyond our organisation.
We believe that bringing people together to connect, create, learn and grow benefits not only us, but the entire data community.

What does “real time” truly mean in the world of Formula 1 - and what happens when a domain expert builds the application with an AI coding agent?
F1 Unleashed is Nelson Sousa’s latest personal project: an application that streams, downloads, visualises and analyses Formula 1 data while the action is still unfolding.
Timing screens. Weather. Telemetry. Strategy insights. Tactical opportunities. Predictions.
Not a Monday-morning explanation of how Sunday’s race was won or lost, but insights when they still matter.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁
📡 Live Formula 1 timing, weather and telemetry data
📊 Near-real-time race analysis, predictions and strategy insights
⚡ The challenge of reducing latency from one hour to five minutes, five seconds and ultimately under one second
🧠 Why predictive models are only as good—and as fast—as the data pipelines feeding them
🤖 How Nelson used Claude Code as an implementation agent while retaining control over the domain reasoning, architecture and validation
🛠️ An honest look at the possibilities, lessons and limitations of agentic engineering
The AI helped write the application. Nelson decided what it needed to understand.
Whether you are a Formula 1 fan or interested in streaming data, predictive modelling, real-time analytics or AI-assisted software engineering, this meetup is for you.
