I've correlated each #F1 team's average quali gap with their WCC points - and some results were surprising! 👀 🔵RBR (VER) was the 2nd best car in quali on average. Yet, they are just 4th in the WCC due to the 'lack' of a second driver 🟢Sauber and 🟣Alpine are opposites:…
RACE PACE (on slicks) 1)🟧NOR (Quickest on average, also thanks to Hards) 2)🟧PIA +0.33s/lap 3)🟥LEC +0.45s/lap 4)🟦VER +0.47s/lap 5)🟩RUS +0.88s/lap TOP SPEEDS (Bottom part of image) ANT reached 356km/h! #LewisHamilton, however, reached 358km/h in the Sprint VER's high-load…

It finally happened: the W11, the fastest #F1 car ever designed, was beaten! 🤯 PIA beat its laptime by 0.742s ✅ ⬛️W11 (2020): quicker mostly in the medium-speed corners and changes of direction (54kg lighter) 🟧MCL38: unmatched aero efficiency thanks to ground effect! Way…
SPRINT POLE 🟦VER: less drag (+3km/h top speed, gained on all straights); despite that, he was quicker in the Pouhon corner! (295 vs 292km/h, lifting less) 🟧PIA was quicker T7 to T9, but most of his massive gap was made T12 to T15: RBR looks like a midfield car! Additional…

🟦Red Bull is using the same low-load wing used in Silverstone (which got VER on pole, then ruined his wet race), despite the 75% rain probability at the race start in Spa 🤔 Spa, however, features fewer medium/high speed corners (mostly S2) and more time spent full throttle than…

In 2025, McLaren and Ferrari both updated their front suspensions, but Ferrari radically changed their layout from Push-Rod to Pull-Rod: McL went from quickest to dominating, while Ferrari lost most of its pace after fighting for the 2024 #F1 WCC More info in this thread 👇
#F1 TEAMS QUALI TIER LIST (Based on average quali gap) S-Tier: McL (almost always on pole, and when they don't, it's by a tiny margin) B-Tier: Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari (Can fight for poles, but only if everything goes their way). Average quali gap: TENFOLD McL's! D-Tier:…
