[crisp badger]

Except Moretti

[crisp badger]

[fathom meteor]

oh

THAT IS STILL WILD wow

[fathom meteor]

FRANCO DA CRUZ ive never seen him b4 wow

[fathom meteor]

wow

DRAVEN WON WITH LESS RACE WINS

THE GUY WITH THE MOST RACE WINS WAS IN 11TH

no words

thats crazy

[crisp badger]

Inconsistent

[fathom meteor]

oh

yeah makes sense

[crisp badger]

Those 3 wins were his only podium finishes

[fathom meteor]

damn

[fathom meteor]

What a mess of points

[crisp badger]

They all thought of periodically bottling it after a few races

[fathom meteor]

Yeah i can see that lol

[crisp badger]

One of my favourite seasons is this one

[fathom meteor]

ohhh torvald

[fathom meteor]

wasnt even a competition

[crisp badger]

Max (not Verstappen) Torvald was finally able to showcase his potential

Stayed at BMW for all of his career but 1 season and carried them

His worst WDC finish was P5

[fathom meteor]

Damn

[fathom meteor]

who are the oldest drivers still racing currently?

[crisp badger]

S21 News:

Diego Fernandes to leave BMW and replace Mikael Ruud at Audi!

@distant hollow @fathom meteor

[fathom meteor]

WOAH?

[crisp badger]

He outscored him in the WDC in a worse car

It's only right that he joins

[fathom meteor]

it was by one point to be fair

or not

[crisp badger]

It was

[fathom meteor]

ah yes

I mean

Yeah it's fair

It's good Diego is getting a good 2nd chance, the time at Ferrari wasn't so great

But he proved himself

[crisp badger]

There's more news

Troy Wilson is returning to Porsche

But unfortunately for you... Julio is still at Honda

Julio has raced for 4 full seasons so far, has 5 poles and 10 podiums

Best WDC finish is 9th, worst WDC finish is 11th

All at Honda

Best race finish is P2, achieved twice

[fathom meteor]

Ayyy

[fathom meteor]

💔

Let's hope Honda doesn't ruin his potential, hes actually a great driver

Maybe getting a race win this year could convince teams

[fathom meteor]

Will we have any races soon

[crisp badger]

Not for the time being

[fathom meteor]

Fair

Excited to see the next season tho lol

[lime brook]

Wait can i join before the season starts?

[lime brook]

@crisp badger when will the season start?

[crisp badger]

Undecided

[crisp badger]

The grid doesn't consist of server members

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor @distant hollow @elfin briar Final S21 grid after modifications:

[elfin briar]

so uhm

where is

thiago costa..

[crisp badger]

Thiago is too old to race here now

[fathom meteor]

JULIO ON A TOP SEAT

YAAAAAAAA

[crisp badger]

https://tenor.com/view/kimi-raikkonen-fucking-finally-gif-21412484

[fathom meteor]

dude we have the next gen

cheer for him

[elfin briar]

gcl is getting jumped by 5 billion plushies soon

[fathom meteor]

He actually did ok on his last season, 101 points to his teammate's 106

But like

He was old :(

[crisp badger]

Costa remains the only driver in the series to have more than 300 races in it

[fathom meteor]

Exactly lmao

[crisp badger]

https://tenor.com/view/fernando-alonso-fernando-alonso-f1-formula-1-gif-15409674451501385698

[elfin briar]

i still hate u for making him the alonso of this simulation

[crisp badger]

Julio Oliveira takes pole for the Australian GP!

[fathom meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/ruben-cervantes-javier-bardem-formula-1-f1-f1-movie-gif-7594889906374898185

ITS HAPPENING

(he is about to finish 2nd again)

[crisp badger]

Van den Berg wins in Australia

Rinaldi wins in Malaysia

Julio finished 3rd and 5th respectively

[fathom meteor]

oh right BMW is overpowered

[fathom meteor]

where's Stewart

[crisp badger]

Stewart DNF

[fathom meteor]

WOAH

[crisp badger]

8th in the WDC after Malaysia

[fathom meteor]

he's the current champion still right?

[crisp badger]

Yes

[fathom meteor]

[crisp badger]

But

China was where the world champion came back

[fathom meteor]

👀

19th to 9th

absolutely heroic

Wait I didn't see Conti at Mercedes

:O

[crisp badger]

This is how the WDC looks like after China

[fathom meteor]

Marcus is leading hooray

...by one point but it's still a lead

[crisp badger]

Fast foward to Japan and BMW strikes out of nowhere again

[fathom meteor]

Diego beats the Ferrari

[crisp badger]

And takes the WDC lead in the process

[fathom meteor]

👀

[crisp badger]

Julio's first win comes in Saudi Arabia

[fathom meteor]

OHHHHHHHHH YES

[crisp badger]

He beats Stewart to victory like Max beat Charles in the 2022 race

[fathom meteor]

Oh that's beautiful

I like how he has always bottled a pole, and his first race win is when he qualified 2nd 😭

[fathom meteor]

Oh my Brazilian is fighting

👀 This is gonna be exciting

[lime brook]

I know

[crisp badger]

This is how things look like after Hungary (15/23)

[lime brook]

Can i join the clash? Like create my team or smth

[fathom meteor]

TIED ON POINTS

[fathom meteor]

You can give storyline suggestions, but not make up your own team.

You could also suggest a manufacturer that makes PUs to enter the grid...

(PUs = power units)

[lime brook]

Oh so it isnt a fantasy like other ones?

[lime brook]

Ik

[fathom meteor]

Not as fantastical, yeah

[lime brook]

Oh alr

[crisp badger]

Belgium:

Julio - P3 to P1
Allison - P10 to P3
Stewart - P9 to P4
Rinaldi - P1 to P6

1. OLI - 254
2. STE - 241
3. ALL - 175

[fathom meteor]

That was an amazing race... except for Rinaldi

HES LEADING

[crisp badger]

But... the reigning world champion still doesn't give up

Takes his 9th pole of the season in Zandvoort

And wins

[fathom meteor]

rinaldi is crumbling

:(

Stewart might be cooking tho

[crisp badger]

Stewart's pole in Zandvoort was Ferrari's record-breaking 108th pole in the series

Surpassing Porsche

[fathom meteor]

WOAH

speaking of, porsche has just fallen off massively

[crisp badger]

Audi's surge to the top came at the expense of that

BMW is inconsistent, and so is Mercedes

[fathom meteor]

damn.

[crisp badger]

Stewart on pole again, this time at Monza

10th pole of the season

[fathom meteor]

oh man

[crisp badger]

But the race was erm... not so good

For either side

[fathom meteor]

Oh No

[crisp badger]

https://tenor.com/view/max-verstappen-lewis-gif-23054152

[fathom meteor]

NOOOOOOOOO

JULIO WHY DID YOU

[crisp badger]

In Singapore, it's Allison who takes the win

Stewart 3rd, Julio 5th

[fathom meteor]

oh no...

[crisp badger]

Stewart wins in Turkey, Julio wins in USA

[fathom meteor]

did stewart take the lead?

[crisp badger]

Yes

[fathom meteor]

oh dear.

[crisp badger]

Julio wins again in Las Vegas

Audi has wrapped up the WCC

[fathom meteor]

theres hope

there IS hope

[fathom meteor]

Ford Points

[fathom meteor]

THEYRE TIED ON POINTS

oh man its 2021 all over again

except it wont go down to the last race

[crisp badger]

Both of them have 7 wins

[crisp badger]

Next race is the last one though

[fathom meteor]

oh it does

ITS 2021 ALL OVER AGAIN

[crisp badger]

Stewart has 11 poles

Julio has 3 poles

Stewart has 15 podiums

Julio has 12 podiums

Stewart has 4 DNF's, Julio has 2 DNF's

[fathom meteor]

and theyre tied

wow

[crisp badger]

Currently Stewart is ahead only because he has one more 2nd place finish

[fathom meteor]

oh

[crisp badger]

I think you already know what the last race is

Julio's home turf

Maximum pressure

[fathom meteor]

🙏

[crisp badger]

But unfortunately for him, Stewart pulls another generational pole lap

4 tenths dunked

12th pole of the season for him

[fathom meteor]

oh my.

lets see what happens

[crisp badger]

Time for the final results

[fathom meteor]

im not ready

oh n0...

[crisp badger]

A SC got them both off contention for P1

But not the on-track battle for the title

A sudden ambitious defence makes Stewart lock up, giving the position to Julio, then it was a sprint to the end

A Brazilian gets crowned champion on his home GP

[fathom meteor]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[crisp badger]

Here is the list of the champions and how many times they've won

[fathom meteor]

@elfin briar LOOK

[crisp badger]

Oliveira's updated stats (all time) after S21:

705 points
7 wins
8 poles
23 podiums
1 WDC
6 FL
13 DOTD awards
115 races (5 seasons)

Meanwhile, after this season, Gallagher and Stewart managed to enter the top 10 list of all time podiums

[fathom meteor]

damn

[crisp badger]

Stewart also entered the top 4 of all time poles

He has 26 poles, 12 of which were in S21

The record remains 44, set by Viktor Orlov

(He retired 8 seasons ago)

[fathom meteor]

interesting

[crisp badger]

I forgot to mention

During S21, Audi surpassed 100 podiums

They now have 112

[fathom meteor]

woah

[fathom meteor]

is liam harper a rookie?

interesting job there at volvo (?)

santoro too, best of the rest

its his 2nd season

[crisp badger]

Nope

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor Julio has decided to keep number 7, refusing a switch to 1

[fathom meteor]

oh;

[crisp badger]

Ferrari, Mercedes and Audi remain unchanged in their lineups

We have 2 new rookies

BMW and Renault did an exchange. Fernandes went to Renault, Ruud went to BMW

[fathom meteor]

oh boy

ruud might be cooking?... hopefully bmw doesn't suck

[crisp badger]

16/23 races complete

[fathom meteor]

who's leading?

[crisp badger]

During the time being, I simulated another 5 races, so now it's 21/23

[fathom meteor]

oh!

[crisp badger]

Winners of each race (so far):

Australia - Oliveira
Malaysia - Hoffman
China - Wilson
Japan - Oliveira
Bahrain - Stewart
Saudi Arabia - Allison
Portugal - Oliveira
Spain - Oliveira
Emilia Romagna - Wilson
Monaco - Wilson
Canada - Oliveira
Austria - Stewart
Great Britain - Oliveira
Germany - Wilson
Hungary - Stewart
Belgium - Stewart
Netherlands - Gallagher
Italy - Conti
Singapore - Stewart
Turkey - Gallagher
USA - Stewart

Oliveira led the championship from Australia to Turkey

[fathom meteor]

Mercedes are absolutely back

[crisp badger]

In USA, Stewart managed to get it

[fathom meteor]

It might be going his way tbh, no race wins for Julio since Silverstone....

[crisp badger]

Audi started off in dominant fashion, but were leapfrogged by Mercedes afterwards

And were challenged by others

[crisp badger]

Audi looks handy for the WCC again

[fathom meteor]

At least

[crisp badger]

Ferrari is being carried by one man once more

Mercedes is just not that close

Yes, you're seeing that right, BMW fell off

No podiums all season

[fathom meteor]

💔

At least Porsche are decent

[crisp badger]

Oliveira's form at the start of the season: P1-P2-P2-P1-P3-P2

Stewart's form at the start of the season: P5-P4-P3-P5-P1-P3

[fathom meteor]

Oh my brazilian was much better

But now he's falling off

[crisp badger]

The order of the top 6 looks kinda familiar

[fathom meteor]

Ruud 💔

[fathom meteor]

bmw really just made a really bad car

its a shame

[crisp badger]

Podiums this season

[fathom meteor]

Allison has more podiums than Wilson, but less points

😭

[crisp badger]

1 win vs 4 wins

Mercedes front row lock-out in Las Vegas

Conti on pole

[fathom meteor]

Yeah crazy

[fathom meteor]

My goat

Except no not really JULIO FIGHT FOR IT

[crisp badger]

Conti gets a puncture just a few laps away from the chequered flag

[fathom meteor]

Oh???

[crisp badger]

Wilson's now P1

[fathom meteor]

Who's in second

[crisp badger]

Stewart is promoted to P2, Julio is promoted to P3

Julio went P9 -> P3

[fathom meteor]

Oh my

WHAT A RACE

[crisp badger]

Rinaldi P4

Allison P5

Porsche 6-7

BMW 8-10

Ford gets P9

[fathom meteor]

Ayooo ford finally doing something

[crisp badger]

Audi have secured the WCC

[fathom meteor]

!!!

[crisp badger]

Wilson has secured P3 in the in the WDC

Allison has secured P4

Gallagher has secured P5

[fathom meteor]

sooo itll come down to Brazil, again

[fathom meteor]

13 points....

[crisp badger]

Julio takes pole in his home GP

[fathom meteor]

please...

[crisp badger]

Allison P2
Conti P3
Van den Berg P4

Rinaldi P5
Gallagher P6
Stewart P7

[fathom meteor]

he just needs to

keep his position

[crisp badger]

Audi decided to bring back the rocket ship in the final race

[fathom meteor]

ALLISON YOU GOTTA HELP HIM OUT

[crisp badger]

It's a wet race

[fathom meteor]

...oh no.

im already feeling TRAGEDY

Im having brazil 2008 flashbacks

[crisp badger]

Conti gets a perfect start, Oliveira has wheelspin off the line and loses P1

[fathom meteor]

Already a great start right there

😭

[crisp badger]

The treacherous conditions mean someone causes something at the back

SOMEONE TAKES STEWART OUT!

[fathom meteor]

WOAH WOAH WOAH

[crisp badger]

He has a puncture and has been sent to the wall

But the car is intact and he is back on the race

[fathom meteor]

oh.

[crisp badger]

Currently 18th

Julio is still in 2nd

[crisp badger]

(The tangling took 4 drivers out)

[fathom meteor]

He just needs to keep it on the track

[fathom meteor]

WOAH

[crisp badger]

And nothing major happened for the rest of the race

Final results are here

[fathom meteor]

so this means...

HES A WORLD CHAMPION

[crisp badger]

...I'll let you see for yourself

Sorry to give you false hope

[crisp badger]

@distant hollow knows what race I'm referring to here

[fathom meteor]

hes
....

hes won it then

man NO OOOOO

[crisp badger]

https://tenor.com/view/fernando-alonso-alonso-f1-formula1-reaction-gif-13826450

[fathom meteor]

by one point wasnt it?

ONE. POINT.

😭

it is what it is. he fell off during the latter half of the season.

[crisp badger]

3

It may not have been a 100% replica, but if you haven't understood it yet, I'll help you with it

This season resembled 2012

[fathom meteor]

oh

[crisp badger]

Though Alonso wasn't this dominant in machinery

[fathom meteor]

man I was already celebrating thinking julio was going to be a 2x wdc but

[crisp badger]

6 wins and 7 poles for him this season

Ford finished 6th in the WCC

[fathom meteor]

BMW relegated to the midfield

😭

Wouldn't be surprised if Ford starts getting 5th in the WCC soon

[crisp badger]

Daniel Stewart is now in the top 10 list of all time points

Julio is in the top 19

[crisp badger]

Gallagher too

And on top of that

I completely overlooked that Porsche surpassed 10,000 points

[fathom meteor]

Are they in the top 3 of constructors?

[fathom meteor]

Oh wow

[crisp badger]

By the way, Rinaldi's last win was 45 races ago

Since then, Ferrari's got 13 wins

All from Stewart

[fathom meteor]

💔

[limber shale]

what happened to this

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor Volvo and Peugeot have officially dropped out of the series after a string of poor seasons

A new manufacturer will be added to make the number of teams 10

[fathom meteor]

Not surprising

[fathom meteor]

👀

[crisp badger]

And the replacement will be...

ALFA ROMEO!

[fathom meteor]

Oh awesome

[crisp badger]

@elfin briar I'll bring back Thiago Costa

[elfin briar]

SHUT UP

[fathom meteor]

wait WHAT

also I think Ramirez should go ngl

[crisp badger]

What's wrong?

https://tenor.com/view/f1-alonso-fernandoalonso-formula1-fernando-gif-27517556

[fathom meteor]

will he go to alfa?

[crisp badger]

Maybe

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor Ferrari has decided to sack Rinaldi

Conti: Mercedes -> Ferrari
Gallagher: Porsche -> Mercedes
Rinaldi: Ferrari -> Porsche

[fathom meteor]

Interesting

Let's see how Owen does

Conti as well

I have no big expectations for Rinaldi tho

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor @elfin briar Oliveira wins in Australia, Costa DNF in his first race after returning from retirement

[crisp badger]

@distant hollow What do you think about this grid?

[distant hollow]

its been a while

[distant hollow]

stewart at ferrari? this is peak already

[crisp badger]

You've missed pure cinema

[fathom meteor]

good start

[crisp badger]

The last 3 seasons have been fire

[crisp badger]

Once again, Ferrari doesn't look that good

[fathom meteor]

Imagine Rinaldi beats Conti in the championship lmao

[crisp badger]

Costa bounces back in Malaysia!

The Brazilians are doing well

[fathom meteor]

WHAT

LMAO WHAT

[crisp badger]

And it looks like Mercedes is Audi's main contender this season

[fathom meteor]

Oh yeah

Troy may try something!

[crisp badger]

And he does!

[fathom meteor]

oh!

could fight for the drivers championship... hmmmm

[crisp badger]

Japan:

P1 Stewart
P2 Wilson
P3 Oliveira

Gap between Oliveira and Wilson is now just 4 points

[fathom meteor]

oh wow

[crisp badger]

@distant hollow @fathom meteor Oliveira wins in Bahrain!

Wilson P2, Allison P3

Gap between Oliveira and Wilson now at 11 points

[fathom meteor]

COOKING

how did costa do

[crisp badger]

DNF

[fathom meteor]

😭

[crisp badger]

Talking about cooking, Allison leads an Audi 1-2 in Jeddah

[fathom meteor]

FIRE

[crisp badger]

Conti takes his first podium for Ferrari

[fathom meteor]

Even better

[crisp badger]

Gap between Oliveira and Wilson now at 23 points

Wilson finished P7

[fathom meteor]

Good, good

[crisp badger]

Stewart wins in Portugal!

Oliveira P2
Conti P3
Allison P4
Wilson P5
Gallagher P6

Stewart is now 2nd in the WDC, 30 points behind Oliveira

[fathom meteor]

Well that's not that good but still-

Wait how many drivers championships does Stewart have now

[crisp badger]

3

[fathom meteor]

...I think he could genuinely tie with Klein for wdcs if everything goes wrong for my Audi goat

:O

[crisp badger]

Well well well

Mercedes 1-2 in Spain

Wilson wins

[fathom meteor]

Nvm

[crisp badger]

Oliveira P3

[fathom meteor]

Decent

[crisp badger]

WDC

1. Oliveira - 153
2. Wilson - 132
3. Stewart - 118

[crisp badger]

Stewart wins in Monaco

Oliveira P2, Wilson P3

Wait a minute, I skipped Imola

[fathom meteor]

Why DOES MY MAN NOT WANT TO WIN RACES 😭

[crisp badger]

I don't have good news for you Solstice

The home hero in the home team wins in Imola

That's right, Conti

It's a Ferrari 1-2

[fathom meteor]

okay at least-

where did he finish

[crisp badger]

Wilson on the podium, Oliveira DNF

[fathom meteor]

🥶

[crisp badger]

First one of the season

[fathom meteor]

Disasterclass

I am now on full hopium

[crisp badger]

6 points ahead of Wilson, 17 points ahead of Stewart

[fathom meteor]

Yeah he might be losing this one again 😭

[crisp badger]

Looks like it's paying off

Wilson and Stewart DNF in Canada

[fathom meteor]

🥶

[crisp badger]

But, Oliveira is P2, not P1

Gallagher wins

[fathom meteor]

DAMN?

[crisp badger]

Porsche take their first podium of the season

With Hoffman

[fathom meteor]

Ah nice

[crisp badger]

And after 6 winless races, Oliveira returns to the top of the podium in Austria

[fathom meteor]

FINALLY

[crisp badger]

Not enough relief for him though because Wilson is P2

[fathom meteor]

Ill keep on hopium

[crisp badger]

These are the races I've completed until now, Oliveira has a 34 point lead with 11 races left

[fathom meteor]

🙏

[fathom meteor]

thiago costa 7th

UNC STILL GOT IT

[crisp badger]

@elfin briar Your unc still has it

[elfin briar]

😭

[crisp badger]

There will be a surprise in one of the remaining races

[elfin briar]

knowing ur hater ass its not going to be a good one for me atleast

[crisp badger]

Stewart wins in Silverstone

Oliveira wins in Germany
Wilson wins in Hungary
Stewart wins in Belgium
Oliveira wins in Netherlands
Stewart wins in Italy

@fathom meteor @elfin briar

Thiago Costa delivered a stunning, controversial victory for Alfa Romeo in their debut season, mirroring the 2008 Singapore GP.
Starting P16, Costa and teammate Liam Harper pitted early for intermediates as rain intensified. While leaders Audi, Ferrari, and Mercedes slid off or made poor calls, Costa climbed to P2.
Lap 48: Harper crashed at Turn 17 under no obvious pressure, triggering a safety car. The field pitted again while Costa stayed out on the right tyres, inheriting a huge lead.
He held off Gallagher and Oliveira at the restart, winning by 8.4 seconds, the oldest winner in series history and Alfa Romeo’s maiden victory.

Post-race: FIA investigated Harper’s crash; cleared as “driver error in wet conditions.” No penalties. Costa called it “one last ride I’ll never forget.” Paddock divided, Harper silent. Oliveira retains lead, but Costa’s shock win steals every headline. Singapore S23 enters lore as Costa’s comeback masterpiece.

[fathom meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/masi-f1verstappen-hamilton-mercedes-red-bull-horner-fia-toto-wolff-racing-no-michael-gif-24167345

with that said at least a Brazilian benefitted from it

[elfin briar]

HELL FUCKING YEAH

[crisp badger]

His first win since Netherlands S17

[fathom meteor]

How's the championship look like after this?

[crisp badger]

@elfin briar Thoughts?

I predict Troy is a future WDC. Maybe not now, but surely someday

[fathom meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/fernandoalonso-fernando-alonso-la-marca-f1-formula-1-gif-16930910319286113555

although he is doing very well at alfa

just look at his teammate 😭

Imagine Costa comeback to Porsche

[crisp badger]

I have just finished the last 4 races of S23 @distant hollow

[fathom meteor]

oh no...

[fathom meteor]

Well that's surprising

Troy starting 16th 😭

Conti starting 20th 💔

[crisp badger]

WDC

1. Oliveira - 345
2. Wilson - 294
3. Stewart - 288

[fathom meteor]

oh wilson

when i said you were good you do this to me

ANYWAY COME ON MY BRAZILIAN GOAT....

[fathom meteor]

THIAGO COMING FROM LAST PLACE TO POINTS

[crisp badger]

[fathom meteor]

allison what are you doing br-

https://tenor.com/view/ruben-cervantes-javier-bardem-formula-1-f1-f1-movie-gif-7594889906374898185

[fathom meteor]

@elfin briar I TOLD YOU HE WAS COSTA REGEN

[crisp badger]

||More titles than him now||

[fathom meteor]

BMW podium !

[crisp badger]

WDC after Las Vegas (1 race left):

C. Oliveira - 395

2. Wilson - 330
3. Stewart - 307
4. Allison - 246
5. Gallagher - 235

[fathom meteor]

this is so peak

[crisp badger]

And lastly, Interlagos

[crisp badger]

Looks like it

[fathom meteor]

perfect

[fathom meteor]

audi has been epic

sure hope they don't fall off 😭

[crisp badger]

Audi now has 3 consecutive WCC titles

While Porsche has finished 4th for 6 consecutive seasons

[fathom meteor]

porsche need to step up their game

shoutout to BMW for losing to a new team

😭

[crisp badger]

Wait

Allison looking kinda washed

[fathom meteor]

oh he is

[crisp badger]

(I have these kinds of stats for every duo)

[fathom meteor]

HERE WE GO, statistics time

[crisp badger]

Prodigy vs former champion

[fathom meteor]

man...

[crisp badger]

But at least Owen took 2 wins

[fathom meteor]

yeah true

Did Allison even win

[crisp badger]

Saudi Arabia

Matter of fact that's his best track

He's won like 4 times there or something

[fathom meteor]

Damn

[crisp badger]

Despite finishing further back than in the WDC, Conti doesn't look too bad

[elfin briar]

is he going to fumble

[fathom meteor]

no hes won it twice now

[crisp badger]

He just overtook Costa on titles won

[fathom meteor]

quite decent

considering it was current champion yk

[crisp badger]

Hoffman has that little bit more experience but Rinaldi is another former champion

Same thing in quali

[fathom meteor]

very close damn

[crisp badger]

Maybe Harper wasn't that bad

He got better in the latter races of the season

[fathom meteor]

yeah i noticed

[crisp badger]

Former champion vs a driver who got beaten by Allison

[fathom meteor]

man ruud is gone 💔

[crisp badger]

Less importance here because it's lower half of the field

[fathom meteor]

and elena scored more points

[crisp badger]

I guess finishing P11 when your teammate is P12 doesn't matter if the one time they beat you they get a high result

I didn't expect Noah to get humbled this much though

13-10 for Durand and Becker respectively in the Honda and Ford teammate battles

[crisp badger]

After this season, Stewart is now creeping up close to a record that's been long untouchable

(Most poles in the series)

Orlov set this record when he retired in S13

[fathom meteor]

Woah

[crisp badger]

To the list of long untouched records we could add the most fastest laps and the most DOTD awards

But they are less important

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor @distant hollow @elfin briar

After S23:

• Lukas Hoffman retires

• Davide Rinaldi retires

• Oscar van den Berg retires

• Karl Becker drops out

• Felix Durand drops out

[fathom meteor]

oh wow

[distant hollow]

end of an era

[elfin briar]

costa still playing kinda crazy

[fathom meteor]

And him winning in Singapore

😭

[crisp badger]

There are 5 rookies on the new grid

[fathom meteor]

oh Wow

is it gonna be like last years f1 rookies :o

[crisp badger]

@distant hollow Who's gonna win the title?

[fathom meteor]

Oliveira's not number 1?

[crisp badger]

Oliveira wants to keep 7

That's what the storyline says

[fathom meteor]

oh!

fair

It really depends who has gotten the best car

Stewart, Oliveira and Wilson are very clear favorites

[crisp badger]

Hm

[fathom meteor]

And Wilson is getting in his prime I believe

👀

Wonder how Porsche's gonna perform tho

Imagine Beilensohn fighting for race wins, absolutely fire

[crisp badger]

They have an entirely new limeup, so not too hopeful on them

[fathom meteor]

Yeah true

Guess we'll have to wait for the racing action

[distant hollow]

ruud

[fathom meteor]

fell off

[crisp badger]

@distant hollow @fathom meteor Thanks to the new update made to FGC, I now have access to specific stats per track, like most wins there, most poles there, lap records etc.

Drivers and teams

[fathom meteor]

stat timeee

[crisp badger]

Where do you want to start, lap records or drivers & teams with most wins on each track?

[fathom meteor]

hmmmmm

lap records

feel like that's interesting

[crisp badger]

Australia

Qualifying: 1:14.622 by Thiago Costa in S16

Race: 1:18.926 by Julio Oliveira in S22

[fathom meteor]

BRAZILIAN LAP RECORDS

damn

[crisp badger]

In Malaysia both are held by Allison

We can skip the timings since they aren't really relevant

[fathom meteor]

surprising

[crisp badger]

In China, the qualifying lap record is held by Stewart, the race lap record is held by Van den Berg

[fathom meteor]

damn

[crisp badger]

Japan is kinda astonishing

The qualifying record is held by Klein, set in S9

The race lap record is held by Elio Karr (I know this isn't a familiar name), set all the way back in the first ever season

23 seasons and it still hasn't been broken

[fathom meteor]

Wow

Was that dude even a frontrunner?

[crisp badger]

Bahrain

Qualifying - Stewart, S22
Race - Bertolini, S15

[crisp badger]

Not really

[fathom meteor]

that's incredible lmao

[crisp badger]

He managed to get one single win but he wasn't really competitive

That lap record was with Audi

But back then they weren't really good

[fathom meteor]

i feel like stewart is gonna take a lot of those lap recirds

[crisp badger]

Saudi Arabia

Qualifying - Allison, S23
Race - Oliveira, S23

This track's having a tradition of Audi dominating

[fathom meteor]

allison always delivering masterclasses there for some reason

[crisp badger]

Portugal

Qualifying - Costa, S19
Race - Somerkoski, S19

[fathom meteor]

man, somerkoski

[crisp badger]

Spain

Qualifying - Julien Martin, S15

Race - Fernandes, S20

Coincidentally both with BMW

Canada

Qualifying - Stewart, S19
Race - Orlov, S9

Austria

Qualifying - Allison, S23
Race - Rinaldi, S22

[fathom meteor]

again Allison

waow

[crisp badger]

Looks like Allison broke multiple lap records in qualifying in S23

Silverstone

Both of them held by Stewart, qualifying in S23, race in S22

[fathom meteor]

yeah stewart is definitely the guy who has the most of those records

fantastic driver

[crisp badger]

Germany

Qualifying - Klein, S18
Race - Rinaldi, S19

Hungary

Qualifying - Rinaldi, S20
Race - Thiago Costa, S12

Spa

Qualifying - Adrian Noordwijk (Renault), S11

[crisp badger]

Zandvoort

Qualifying - Oscar van den Berg, S17
Race - Rafael Sorenzo (Porsche), S5

Monza

Qualifying - Oliveira, S23
Race - Thiago Costa, S13

[fathom meteor]

TWO BRAZILIANS AGAIN

[crisp badger]

Singapore

Qualifying - Stewart, S22
Race - Allison, S22

Turkey

Qualifying - Viktor Orlov (Porsche), S2
Race - Nico Steiner (BMW), S2

[fathom meteor]

Long time ago again

[crisp badger]

COTA

Qualifying - Klaus Richter (Ferrari), S13
Race - Alessio Rana (Mercedes), S13

Las Vegas

Qualifying - Klaus Richter (Renault), S3
Race - Vicos Sokolov (Lamborghini), S4

Interlagos

Qualifying - Daniel Stewart (BMW), S18
Race - Soren Draven (Ferrari), S10

[fathom meteor]

oh!

surprising not seeing costa set a record

[crisp badger]

And that's pretty much it regarding lap record holders

[fathom meteor]

at interlagos

this is very interesting

a lot of older records still

now about the most successful teams and drivers in each track maybe?

[crisp badger]

I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this...

Both Costa and Oliveira are yet to win a race at Interlagos

[fathom meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/salad-disturb-disruptive-table-table-flip-gif-6183005253937452884

The curse remains even in here 💔

[crisp badger]

that is... quite interesting

[crisp badger]

During his time, Porsche was the dominant team

Monaco

Most points: Soren Draven
Most wins: Soren Draven
Most poles: Daniel Stewart
Most podiums: Soren Draven

[fathom meteor]

yeah i can tell with them having 10 thousand points historically

[crisp badger]

(Yo this Stewart guy kinda looking like a pole merchant)

[fathom meteor]

tbh thats kind of what oliveira was until he went to audi

was the type of person to get pole in spa

Out of absolutely nowhere

[crisp badger]

Canada

Most points: Viktor Orlov
Most wins: Max Torvald
Most poles: Daniel Stewart (again)
Most podiums: Tobias Klein

[fathom meteor]

😭 no wonder he has so many records

[crisp badger]

So far this is the most competitive track in terms of stats

[fathom meteor]

indeed

[crisp badger]

Austria

Most points: Dante Valtierra
Most wins: Oscar van den Berg
Most poles: Soren Draven
Most podiums: Soren Draven

Silverstone

This is a clean sheet of Draven dominating

6 wins says enough

[fathom meteor]

damn.

draven was damn good

[crisp badger]

Only one title though

Germany

Most points: Viktor Orlov
Most wins: Viktor Orlov
Most poles: Tobias Klein
Most podiums: Viktor Orlov

[fathom meteor]

the home driver only having most poles

wow

I SAY THIS AND I KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT HAPPENS AT INTERLAGOS

[crisp badger]

Hungary

Most points: Dante Valtierra
Most wins: Nico Steiner
Most poles: Dante Valtierra
Most podiums: Dante Valtierra

[fathom meteor]

valtierra domination

[crisp badger]

Belgium

Most points: Max Torvald
Most wins: Max Torvald
Most poles: Julio Oliveira
Most podiums: Viktor Orlov

Torvald and Draven had about the same luck

Both highly capable but against Orlov and Klein

So a lack of many titles

[fathom meteor]

interesting

[fathom meteor]

he really likes Spa 😭

HE GOT A POLE IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON THERE like 😭

[crisp badger]

Zandvoort

Most points: Soren Draven
Most wins: Max Torvald
Most poles: Viktor Orlov
Most podiums: Max Torvald

Monza

Most points: Soren Draven
Most wins: Viktor Orlov
Most poles: Davide Rinaldi
Most podiums: Max Torvald

[fathom meteor]

rinaldi finaly

[crisp badger]

Singapore

Most points: Tobias Klein
Most wins: Tobias Klein
Most poles: Viktor Orlov
Most podiums: Viktor Orlov

[fathom meteor]

i like how the modern drivers havent really gotten most wins (and Costa doesnt count as a modern driver 😭)

at best they have most poles

[crisp badger]

Turkey

Most points: Dante Valtierra
Most wins: Soren Draven
Most poles: MIKAEL RUUD
Most podiums: Dante Valtierra

[fathom meteor]

RUUD????

😭

ahh

[crisp badger]

COTA

Most points: Viktor Orlov
Most wins: Viktor Orlov
Most poles: Julio Oliveira
Most podiums: Tobias Klein

[fathom meteor]

and i say this as a ruud fan tbh he was somewhat peak

[crisp badger]

Las Vegas

Most points: Viktor Orlov
Most wins: Nils Moreau
Most poles: Emil Novak
Most podiums: Viktor Orlov

[fathom meteor]

moreau mention

[crisp badger]

Brazil

Most points: Max Torvald
Most wins: Tobias Klein
Most poles: Tobias Klein
Most podiums: Max Torvald

[crisp badger]

Moreau got denied a title by Toyota supremacy in S13 and Klein himself in S15

[fathom meteor]

💔

[crisp badger]

Now if you want I also have the teams' version

But as you can see it's pretty time-wasting

[fathom meteor]

yeah true

its probably gonna be like

"Porsche" (x15)

[crisp badger]

Australia is Ferrari's ground based on points and wins

Porsche gets that back in poles and podiums

[fathom meteor]

as expected

[crisp badger]

Malaysia is Porsche ground

Except for poles where BMW tops

Same in China, but this time the outlier is Mercedes

[fathom meteor]

knew it 😭

[crisp badger]

Same in Japan, with the outlier being podiums, which are Ferrari's

[crisp badger]

Bahrain is a game-changer

Points and podiums go to Mercedes

Wins and poles go to Ferrari

[fathom meteor]

:O

[crisp badger]

Saudi Arabia is another Porsche ground, Ferrari tops poles though

In Portugal, points go to Mercedes

Wins go to Porsche

Poles and podiums to Ferrari

Spain is Ferrari ground, with Audi topping wins

Imola is a Porsche clean sheet

Monaco is Ferrari ground, with Porsche topping podiums

[fathom meteor]

its more competitive than i expected

[crisp badger]

Opposite in Canada, with Ferrari topping poles

Austria is Mercedes ground, with Ferrari topping poles yet again

[crisp badger]

Silverstone is a mix between Mercedes and Ferrari

Points and wins to Mercedes, poles and podiums to Ferrari

Same goes for Germany

In Hungary, Ferrari has the points and the wins, Porsche has the poles, Mercedes has the podiums

In Spa, Porsche has the points and the podiums, BMW has the wins, Ferrari has the poles

[fathom meteor]

oh bmw!

[crisp badger]

Zandvoort is a clean sheet for Porsche

Monza is Ferrari ground with Porsche topping podiums

Opposite in Singapore, with Ferrari topping the poles

In Turkey, Ferrari has the points, Porsche has the wins and the poles, Mercedes has the podiums

In COTA, Ferrari has the points and the podiums, Porsche has the wins and the poles

In Las Vegas, Ferrari has the points and the wins, Porsche has the poles, Mercedes has the podiums

Brazil is Porsche ground, but with BMW having the most wins

Although Porsche's form in the last 5 or so seasons has made these records a thing of the past

[fathom meteor]

true

[crisp badger]

@fathom meteor @distant hollow Owen Gallagher is back on top in Australia

He leads the championship for the first time in quite a while

[fathom meteor]

OWEN???

[crisp badger]

Yes

Troy's teammate

[fathom meteor]

Oh Merc

[fathom meteor]

surprised troy dnf

and allison outqualifying oliveira

the Audi probably sucks this year

[crisp badger]

Allison seems to have started this season very well

[fathom meteor]

ALLISON TITLE BID???

[crisp badger]

Thanks to Gallagher finishing only P8, Allison leads by 2 points

That is until Ferrari strikes at China

[fathom meteor]

not a great start for the Brazilian

yeah audi isnt the fastest anymore

i want to see how stewart vs wilson vs conti plays out tho

[crisp badger]

BMW seems to have improved

[fathom meteor]

P10

also 2 straight dnfs for costa

its over 💔

[crisp badger]

After Japan, Stewart leads Wilson by 15 points

But Bahrain will tell a different tale

The reigning champion strikes as the gaps at the front narrow

[fathom meteor]

OOOKAY

GOID

Audi doing well in Bahrain at least

[crisp badger]

Saudi is even crazier

[fathom meteor]

let
me
guess

[crisp badger]

So after Bahrain, Stewart leads Wilson by 13 points and Conti by 21 points

Stewart takes pole in Saudi

[fathom meteor]

oh

[crisp badger]

The top 3 has just flipped upside down

[fathom meteor]

costa FROM last to points WOW.

wait true

LMAO

[crisp badger]

Conti leads Wilson by 2 and Stewart by 4 points

[crisp badger]

And now we get to the last race I've simulated for now

After DNF'ing on the first race, Wilson is now the WDC leader

[fathom meteor]

mendoza is up to something...

[fathom meteor]

oh its gonna be tight

[fathom meteor]

costa is aurafarming

[fathom meteor]

julio isnt winning it this year

im dead

[fathom meteor]

thats her first race win?

congratulations damn

BUT RUUD FINISHING ABOVE JULIO IS UNFORGIVABLE

[crisp badger]

Canada is even more chaotic

[fathom meteor]

HONDA WIN???

Damn

[crisp badger]

After a long time

[fathom meteor]

LES.GO

and then fischer dnfs the next race 😭

[crisp badger]

The home hero is on pole in Silverstone, but the race result may have taken him out of title discussion

Wait

This looks familiar

https://tenor.com/view/vettel-sebastian-vettel-hockenheim-crash-formula-gif-12214085

[fathom meteor]

😭

[crisp badger]

WDC top 3:

1. Wilson - 199
2. Oliveira - 187

Disasterclass

[crisp badger]

[fathom meteor]

yeah its gonna be between these three

[crisp badger]

Wilson - 214
Oliveira - 211
Gallagher - 208

[fathom meteor]

[crisp badger]

Oliveira - 276

[fathom meteor]

Probably not but

[crisp badger]

🔥

[fathom meteor]

I'll be happy for Wilson if he wins

Shoutout to Ruud btw he's doing so well

[crisp badger]

Oliveira extends his lead!

[fathom meteor]

👀

[crisp badger]

Oliveira - 294
Wilson - 277

[fathom meteor]

[fathom meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/endrick-sleep-surigif-gif-5803750315967550550

[crisp badger]

[fathom meteor]

[crisp badger]

306 vs 302 vs 291

[fathom meteor]

oh dear

[crisp badger]

🔥

[fathom meteor]

YES

YWS

AND GALLAGHER MAKING IT HARDER FOR WILSON

[crisp badger]

Oliveira - 331
Wilson - 317
Gallagher - 309

[crisp badger]

And now it's time for the final race

[fathom meteor]

oliveira please just don't DNF

[crisp badger]

Julio's home race

[fathom meteor]

GOOD START

GOOD START

[crisp badger]

Oliveira in the race was...

https://tenor.com/view/leclerc-ferrari-engine-blow-engine-gone-f1-gif-25946489

[fathom meteor]

im dead

IM DEAD

AUDI

AUDI NO

[crisp badger]

Unfortunately Stewart was powerless to fight the mighty Mercedes of Wilson

[fathom meteor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/944788127720026112/1270527699697406066/speed.gif

Troy's the world champ tho so

FIRE

[fathom meteor]

peak

[crisp badger]

Porsche record their lowest ever WCC finish in the series despite getting 2 wins

[fathom meteor]

Mercedes finally made the better car

[fathom meteor]

💔

Porsche MAY be gone

I like how Fischer only scored 1 more point after that win

[fathom meteor]

what does it mean 64 points 😭

[crisp badger]

64 points in Brazil

Across the 8 races he did there

[fathom meteor]

oh

yeah wow only 2 podiums there

No luck in their home races

[crisp badger]

Lemme check Stewart at Silverstone and Troy at COTA

🔥

[fathom meteor]

I may also have a "hot take" as to why Oliveira is already the best Brazilian in the series

[crisp badger]

Go on

[fathom meteor]

that is pretty decent

[fathom meteor]

way better than the Brazilians

[fathom meteor]

even this

[fathom meteor]

2 wdcs, helped the team with 3 wccs, uhhh yeah 👍

[crisp badger]

https://tenor.com/view/f1-fernando-alonso-twitter-alonso-formula-one-gif-15288827103445224492

[fathom meteor]

could've been 3 wdcs if not for his luck in Bruhzil

[crisp badger]

I'm checking the all time points

[fathom meteor]

do check

[crisp badger]

Stewart and Gallagher have overtaken Costa

[fathom meteor]

OH

[fathom meteor]

wow

[crisp badger]

Podiums

[fathom meteor]

give it 2 more seasons i bet oliveira will be in 8th

[fathom meteor]

ALREADY MORE PODIUMS

Stewart in 5th damn

[crisp badger]

Stewart is currently at 230 races

That's the tally Torvald retired with

Orlov and Klein retired at 299

Draven at 276

Valtierra at 299

Costa meanwhile is setting records

[fathom meteor]

how many has he

[crisp badger]

He's at 360 races

[fathom meteor]

😭

ROAD TO 400 ?

[crisp badger]

Maybe

Julio is at 184

Gallagher at 230

Wilson at 138

[fathom meteor]

damn

been a while already

i hope julio is still in his peak in the next season

🙏

[crisp badger]

So close

This record's been untouched since S13

[fathom meteor]

i think he might do it

[crisp badger]

Wait, let me post a comparison of the 2 Brazilians

(The color is the same because they both started at Honda)

[fathom meteor]

woah...

[crisp badger]

@elfin briar Your goat here is going for the 400 race mark

[fathom meteor]

its very close between them and one has half the races of the other

i feel like oliveira already surpassed him

he was truly the costa regen

[crisp badger]

Meanwhile

Stewart is at 39 wins

Can he beat the win record

(Klein with 49)

[fathom meteor]

ehhhh

I feel like he's not really gonna do it
