Just went through & figured out the whole Fast and Furious timeline.
It makes no sense, but was fun.
F9 canonically takes place in either 2013 or 2017.
There's some discrepancies but most evidence in the later movies points towards the official canon being 2017.
#F9 #Family
Fast and Furious Facts:
Letty is canonically ~10 years younger than the rest of the crew. This doesn't make sense given some dialog, but her grave marker from 4 and 7 both show this.
2 Facts 2 Furious:
#F9 #spoilers (light spoiler)
Elle is 11 some time after Fast & Furious 6, but appears to be 20-something just 6 years later in F9 (she somehow ages much quicker than Jack O'Conner or Brian Marcos Toretto - but I'll get back to lil Brian)
The Fast and the Furious: Facts Drift:
If you canonize Better Luck Tomorrow's portrayal of Han, then he's actually a year younger than Letty.
Facts & Furious:
Between 4 and 5 they were either on the run for 1 year or 5 years. With the more recent canon pointing towards just 1 year, which makes more sense.
Facts Five:
The most obvious discrepancy is that in #F9, Lucas Black's character is canonically about 20 years old. Oof. He had a hard 3 years after high school.
Fast & Fact-ious 6:
Baby Brian. Elena got preggo at the start of 6 in 2011 & gave birth before we see her clearly not pregnant in the start of F7 which, based on Jack O'Conner, is ~3 years later. But in F8, immediately after F7, Brian is an infant, maaaybe 1 at most.
Facts 7:
Mia and Brian O'Conner have a baby girl after F8. We haven't seen her but I'm going to guess based on the other child growth pace that she looks to be 15 by now & is probably named Letty since every baby is named after another character (Brian, Nico, Jack).

(*as best as can be figured, acknowledging there are direct contradictions; this seems to be what is being used going forwards)
#F9:
This is a great series & I love it to death. I've watched/played all of the canonical content. I love the earnestness & love in this series.
Timelines will come & go. We all know that. The most important things in life will always be the people... Salute mi familia.
Raw notes with some minor stuff I didn't mention.
Some light #spoilers if you haven't seen F9
