It was shocking to realise that 20% of the current #F1 grid is following my page! 🤯 (4 out of 20) Verstappen was the first to do so (in 2022), and since then he’s always won the WDC! The power of data analysis? 🤣👀 @Max33Verstappen @FranColapinto @PierreGASLY

Kimi Antonelli was just 4 when Jenson Button pressed the DRS *button* for the first time in 2011 Yesterday, he became the last driver ever to use it! He activated it in the final DRS zone of the final lap, hitting 330 km/h (but still couldn’t pass TSU) Goodbye, DRS 🫡 #F1

At the end, HUL basically said: “Traffic? I don’t care” *Proceeds to pass 5 cars in a DRS train in 8 laps* Fatalities recorded: his teammate, one Mercedes, two Williams, and one Red Bull “Traffic does not exist, it can’t hurt you!” @HulkHulkenberg @stakef1team_ks #F1

Norris beat his first two rivals (VER, PIA) through a clever drive: we’ll soon know about the third! (Plank wear) The 3 points PIA handed him in Monza proved decisive: kudos to both and to the team! Thanks Max for keeping the season alive Ferrari closed the season on a

Lambiase on VER's high fuel runs: https://t.co/b6XxXPaaui Evidence of VER lifting twice on his best FP2 lap:
FP2: 🟠NOR's downforce advantage trumped 🔵VER's superior top speed! He braked later and gained at every braking zone (T1, T6, T9), and was quicker in the fast corners (T1/T9) 🔵VER lifted before braking into T5, making his lap look slower (and did the same at the lap end,

🟠Norris is the only title contender who has performed better in Abu Dhabi than across the rest of the season In 2023-24, he averaged +5 pts in there vs his season baseline - while 🔵VER never scored better in Abu Dhabi than in the other races (but his 26.1pts/weekend '23 avg.

A crazy stat: in the last 5 occasions that (at least) 3 drivers fought for the WDC in the last race, the one leading the championship NEVER won! 🤯 The weight of expectations? Can NOR break this streak? (‘81, ‘83, ‘86, ‘07, ‘10) Reddit:

RACE PACE #F1 #QatarGP In trying not to disappoint any driver, McL disappointed both: not splitting the strategy was shocking, and gifted VER the win! If VER takes the title, McL’s collapse will be a case study... PIA was 0.40s/lap quicker than VER: not enough to offset the

HAM’s poor top speed in Sprint Quali pushed him to switch rear-wing spec, costing a pit-lane start He went from slowest to fastest (despite using DRS for only six laps), yet felt the car was overall even worse! @Charles_Leclerc, stuck in traffic, hit 339km/h RUS held a 5 km/h

With two races to go, Albon's and Williams' top speed record (369km/h, '24 Las Vegas) for this generation of cars will never be beaten! HAM and BEA ALMOST beat the 2025 record (365km/h by HAM in Monza). HAM was stuck in traffic for so long that he exceeded 360km/h on FIVE laps!
