Both also dnf at third round

[median mica]

Michael Schumacher is the sting

[median mica]

The Singapore GP has had at least 1 safety car in every edition

[hardy wave]

Leclerc has a 33% pole conversion in Monaco, which is higher than on other tracks

Overall he has a 25% pole conversion, proving he is better on Monaco

[vernal star]

That's the 1st time in F1 history that P1 and P2 had equal times.

Before only P1, P2 and P3 had equal times.

[hexed nebula]

record of george russel pole positions:
2022 hungary: achieved pole by a lap time that has no purple sectors
2024 canada: achieved pole with the exact same time as p2

[vernal star]

The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix was the 1st time since the 2018 F2 Silverstone sprint race that Lando Norris and George Russell were together on the podium.

[hardy wave]

Ferrari fucked up in Canada

[hexed nebula]

not last year tho, where the two ferraris qualified 10th and 11th, but finished in 4th and 5th due to their amazing strategy under safety car

how one years time could change

just like mercedes brazil 22 and 23

[midnight galleon]

Congrats @hexed nebula, you're now on lap 10

[summer stratus]

Albon getting appendicitis has probably saved Tsunoda's career

Lando Norris has never converted a pole into a race win.

Sergio Pérez, the driver with the number 11, started 11th in the 1111th Formula 1 Grand Prix and has now 111 points in the 2024 season.

[hexed nebula]

As George Russell wins the Austrian GP, the 2024 season is the first time since 2012 that two different british drivers have won at least 1 race each.

2009 is then the last time two different british drivers from different teams won at least 1 race each

[hexed nebula]

2022 is the last time that max verstappen did not win a grand prix for 2 times in a row, and guess what, the races were austria (leclerc) and great britain (sainz)

[vernal star]

Lewis Hamilton has now the alone record for the most wins on a single track with getting his 9th win in Silverstone at the 2024 British GP.

[hexed nebula]

2021 was the last time Max Verstappen suffered a win drought of 3 races (Brazil, Qatar, Saudi Arabia all won by Lewis Hamilton).

If Max Verstappen does not win the 2024 Belgian gp, it would be his longest win drought since 2020, where he only won 2 races out of 17 that year.

[graceful harness]

All the top 4 constructors had both drivers win a race this season, except for the leading constructor - RedBull

Mclaren are already ahead of ferrari in the WCC

[mortal silo]

Checo Perez moment

[hexed nebula]

We will most likely see our second double grand prix winner of the season (first was max verstappen) at spa-francorchamps since everybody in the top 8 of the championship except for sergio perez has won a grand prix

[hexed nebula]

also confirmed by max that he will take a grid penalty depending on the components he uses

eyes on checo to either bottle the race and red bull make driver changes or he delivers a great gp to add an 8th different grand prix winner to the mix

[hexed nebula]

after the belgian gp, a whopping 4 constructors have achieved a 1-2 finish this season. I believe that this is the first time in Formula 1 history that something has happened like this. Therefore, to a certain extent, the recent regulation changes did offer closer racing.

[vernal star]

In the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix Mercedes scored their 1st 1-2 since the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

[hexed nebula]

[hexed nebula]

Lance Stroll has more pole positions than Oscar Piastri

[hardy wave]

[median mica]

Oscar Piastri has more sprint pole positions than Lance Stroll

[hardy wave]

Hot take: Oscar piastri is better than stroll

[graceful harness]

Oscar Piastri has double the amount of podiums of Lance Stroll and also 3 fastest laps while Stroll has 0. Keep in mind Lance Stroll is in his 8th season in F1, while Oscar Piastri is only in his 2nd.

[hexed nebula]

At the moment Alex Albon have more retirements from a race than Logan Sargeant

[vernal star]

Even in that regard, Alex is beating Logan.

[hexed nebula]

This season, Checo Perez has scored 131 points. The current gap between Checo and Max is 146 points.

This means that YOU 🫵 are closer to Checo than he is to Max without having driven a SINGLE lap 🤯

Max Verstappen won a race earlier than Valtteri Bottas

[hexed nebula]

The 2024 Dutch GP saw Max Verstappen enable to take pole position for 4 straight races (Great Britain - Russell, Hungary - Norris, Belgium - Leclerc, The Netherlands - Norris) thought Verstappen theoretically took pole position in Belgium if the grid penalty was non-existent. The last time that this happened was in the 2022 season where Charles Leclerc took 4 pole positions in a row for the Miami, Spanish, Monaco, and Azerbaijan Grand Prix but winning none of them.

[fickle cipher]

Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen are the only 2 drivers who have made it to Q3 in Zandvoort every time since its return in 2021

The 2024 Singapore Grand Prix was the 1st ever Singapore Grand Prix without a Safety Car.

[median mica]

It also featured the first hat-trick (pole, win, led every lap) for Lando Norris.

[fickle cipher]

That’s not a hat trick he didn’t get fastest lap which is why it’s not a grand chelem either

Hat trick is pole, FL, win
Grand chelem is pole, lead every lap, FL and win

[cursive osprey]

Hamilton in 2023 scored more points than Bottas in 2021

Alonso 2003, Ocon 2021, Piastri 2024

[vernal star]

lol

[weary oxide]

Leclerc and Norris are the only drivers on the current grid who have never lost a quali head-to-head battle to their teammates

[cursive osprey]

It's been 1 year ago since bottas's last points finish in f1

[rancid copper]

piastri never drove for alpine

[hexed nebula]

ik

hes their reserve

[vernal star]

A reserve is also a driver though.

[cursive osprey]

Singapore 2023 was the only race in that year without the austrian athenm on the podium

[rancid copper]

fair enough

mick schumacher driving for merc is pretty funny tho lol

[cursive osprey]

Kmag is the current grid driver with the best result in his debut race

[vernal star]

After the 2024 US Grand Prix Lance Stroll has broken Johnny Herbert's record of the most races without a fastest lap.

[median mica]

Liam Lawson has never finished a Grand Prix in an even position (🇳🇱 P13, 🇮🇹 P11, 🇸🇬 P9, 🇯🇵 P11, 🇶🇦 P17, 🇺🇸 P9)

[cursive osprey]

Sauber in 2024 is the first team since hrt 2012 to have both of their drivers below p20 in wdc

[vernal star]

After the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix qualifying Sergio Pérez has more Q1 exits than Lance Stroll in 2024.

[median mica]

Max Verstappen now stands as the only driver to reach Q3 all year.

[cursive osprey]

mercedes 2024 is possibly the team to finish below p3 in wcc with most wins in a season

[hexed nebula]

after the mexican gp, the top 4 constructors have all won consecutive races this year. however, except for red bull, the other 3 constructors have consecutive wins with the courtesy of both drivers while verstappen is the sole winner for red bull

[median mica]

If Ferrari manage to somehow win the constructors championship, Oliver Bearman will become the first rookie to win a constructors championship since Jacques Villenueve won it with Williams in 1996.

Additionally, he will become the youngest driver to win it.

[hexed nebula]

hamilton could've claimed this record in 2007 if not spygate

[hexed nebula]

sargeant outqualified piastri in their first f1 race btw

[cursive osprey]

If max wins the wdc he is going to be the first driver to win with a team that is below p2 in the wcc

[twilit marlin]

This fun fact is crazy

Today it was the second time a qualifying have 5 red flags ( the last time was imola 2022)

Alex albon and Carlos Sainz were the only one who crashed in both qualifying 🤯

[hexed nebula]

alpine got a double podium before mercedes this season

alpine also got more p2s than mercedes

[thin bough]

First time since 2012 that at least 5 different drivers won consecutive races

Brazil - Verstappen
Mexico - Sainz
COTA - Leclerc
Baku - Piastri
Singapore - Norris

[cursive osprey]

Also alpine got more podiums than Mercedes after summerbreak

[cursive osprey]

Fun fact: Brazil was the first race without a mclaren or a Ferrari on podium in 2024

[vernal star]

Esteban Ocon has more laps led than Sergio Pérez in 2024.

[broken nebula]

Estegoat Goatcon for a reason

[rancid copper]

he also has a 5 second penalty

he’s just too good

[finite cloak]

Gasly has caused £0 worth of damage to his 2024 Alpine car

[rancid copper]

what abt at monaco?

surely that damaged him

[finite cloak]

Wait

[finite cloak]

Nope

Ended up damaging Ocon

And this is in terms of replacing parts

[tardy mauve]

Al Pease, a Canadian driver, was once disqualified for driving too slowly

[hexed nebula]

las vegas was mercedes' first double podium this season

[vernal star]

Sergio Pérez is the 1st ever driver in F1 history to get overtaken in the pit lane after a pit lane start.

[hexed nebula]

whenever russell finished 1st this season verstappen always finished 5th including belgium

and whenever hamilton wins russell is always not classified

and whenever norris wins verstappen is always 2nd

[rancid copper]

the f1 script is real

[median mica]

Well, in the ground effect era.

[hexed nebula]

funny enough theres only one time russell scored points when hamilton won

which is sochi 2021 hamilton p1 russell p10

[cursive osprey]

every time hamilton has won this year is russell getting dnf or dsq

Fun fact: every race max has won a wdc a Williams has dnfed

Sergio Pérez got released from Red Bull exactly 4 years after the announcement that he will join the team in 2021.

[median mica]

And in both of those times, he originally had a 2-year contract to stay.

[cursive osprey]

And the contract got terminated

With choosing the number 6 Isack Hadjar is the 1st driver in F1 history to choose a number 2 other drivers have already chosen before.

[twilit marlin]

Interressing fun fact

monaco 2021 where bottas front right tire couldn't be removed. The tire finally has been removed after 43 hours after a nut was stuck and unable to be removed

Making it as the most impossibile way to break a record in f1

[hexed nebula]

norris now has a race win streak, the 1st driver to do so after 2021 hamilton besides verstappen

and this is the first time verstappen lost his championship lead after overtaking leclerc in the standings in 2022

[tardy mauve]

lewis hamilton's ferrari debut is the worst (in terms of finishing position) since 2009. 💔

[cold zinc]

The Australian GP had the most DNFs for a season opener (6) since Austria 2020 (9).
In the last 10 years, it ranks fourth:

1. 🇦🇹 2020 (9)

   3= 🇦🇺 2016 (6)
   3= 🇦🇺 2025 (6)

The last time 3+ cars were disqualified was the 2004 Canadian GP, where both Toyota and Williams cars (Matta, Panis, Montoya and R. Schumacher) used illegal brake ducts.

[wicked laurel]

Max Verstappen has more points in F1, than Liam Lawson has hours as a RedBull driver

Lando No-wins has more wins than George Russel

Harry Maguire is more likely to be a F1 driver, than VCARB having the same two drivers the whole season

VCARB is the only team on the grid to have Isak Hadjar driving for them

Mercedes is the only team on the grid, that currently has Toto working for them

RedBull driver development scheme is the only driver development scheme ever to take Liam Lawson to F1

[hexed nebula]

ok the first two started pretty well and the rest is complete bullshit lol

fernando right now is still not classified after two races, the last time this happened was grosjean in 2019

[vernal star]

After the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix, George Russell with the driver number 63 has not only scored 63 points this season, but also had his 63rd points finish with Mercedes.

[hexed nebula]

and his 2nd 2nd position finish for mercedes whom are 2nd in the constructors

[cold zinc]

This F1 season is already the second most attritional ever in terms of disqualifications:

1. 2004 (5x DSQs)
   2= 2005 (4x DSQs)
   2= 2006 (4x DSQs)
   2= 2025 (4x DSQs)

• The most popular nation to get disqualified in is Australia, with 8 DSQs altogether (probably as new parts are discovered to be illegal at the season opener).
• Just behind is Canada, with 7 DSQs throughout F1's history, though there haven't been any there since 2007, where Massa and Fisichella were disqualified for leaving the pits while the red light was on.

[tardy mauve]

7 drivers scored the fastest lap in the 1954 british grand prix so they divided the fastest lap point by 7

so 7 drivers got 0.14 points

The streak of no Miami wins from pole position continues.

[twilit marlin]

Max verstappen broke the Record with most lost places in that miami curse

1 -> 4
While all drivers lost one place

[broken nebula]

He also lost his streak of never finishing out of the points starting from Belgium 2016.

[twilit marlin]

Wdym?

[broken nebula]

Whenever he finished a race, he was always in the points. So that doesn’t include DNF’s or DNS’.

[twilit marlin]

He is 4th he didn't lose any points

[cursive osprey]

he means in the sprint

he finished last

but doesnt rlly count tbh

[twilit marlin]

Oh

Right

[twilit marlin]

But still count

According to Wikipedia

[hexed nebula]

's pole position at the 2021 bahrain gp was only his 4th career pole position

it took him 4 seasons in f1 to take his 1st pole position

at the 2019 hungarian gp

based on the base rate fallacy, you can draw that there is a 1 in 20 chance of any driver winning on any given weekend. max verstappen won 19 races in a season, event which has a likelihood of (0.0519 ~= 1.9x10^−27).

this is less likely than winning the lottery several times in a row.

He had world championship potential. He's well past his prime - I'm sure he would be competitive in the midfield, but he really struggled in his last years.
