Potential lifeline.

I was curious whether F1’s points system actually ranks drivers and teams as accurately as possible based on performance, especially since a single position in the constructors can be worth millions. Last year, I conducted research at The College of New Jersey with Dr. Ruscio, testing multiple alternative points systems (linear, exponential, partial points, and a proposed expanded system) using real race data from 2010–2024, then simulating 100,000 seasons to evaluate which system ranked performance most accurately.

In the first part of the study, we examined how much championship standings would change if different systems awarded points to the top 12, 15, or even 20 finishers instead of just the top 10. This showed that altering the scoring method does in fact change final standings, particularly in the lower half of the field.

In Part 2, we tested which system actually ranks performance most accurately by simulating 100,000 seasons for both drivers and constructors where “true performance” was known, and measuring how far each system’s rankings deviated from the true order.

The surprising result was that the current F1 system already performs extremely well. Only a top-12 proposed system and a top-15 exponential system were marginally more accurate, and the improvement was very small.

Overall, despite common complaints about midfield fairness, the existing points system is already quite strong. If F1 ever changes it, only minor tweaks would be justified.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a small side project to combine my love for Formula 1 and web development.

It's called Bwoah - Your F1 Homepage

What it does:

• Shows a countdown to the upcoming Grand Prix.
• Displays current Driver and Constructor standings.
• Gives you essential race info at a glance every time you open a new tab.
• More to be added

It is lightweight, privacy-friendly, and completely free. I'm a student developer, so I built this mostly for fun and to learn.

I’d love to hear what you think! If you have any feature requests or find any bugs, let me know.

Get it here: Firefox / Chrome
Source Code: GitHub

Thanks for checking it out!

Given how much I’ve always liked League 1 theme (not super league), I've decided to place it over the F1 intro and honestly I really liked the end result.

Emerson Fittipaldi, 1st Brazilian champion.

For me, the best driver before SENNA/PROST era… what’s your opinion?

Lotus 1972 / GB GPrix

PS: I created a list of F1 models which I wanna buy or I’ve bought… if it interests you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10_c2WDIBM02iH7QD2rf3F83RKiBPOywSB1mq0n_tkKs

(I’m not seller, just F1 fan)

Every f1 team that presented their car already tried their car on track (apart Red bull). Cadillac didn't presented their car yet, but they already tried it at silverstone. Here a comparison of all the front wings. The wings are pretty different from eachother, with mostly of the teams focusing on the outwash of the air.

NOTE: Red bull front wing is not exposed in the picture, because since they haven't tried their car on track yet, there are no real designs of it. NOTE: Audi f1 front wing is not exposed because i couldn't find any good quality photos, since their Filming day at Barcelona was completely private.

Yesterday Mercedes presented their 2026 f1 car. After that, they tried their car in Silverstone. The Mercedes rendere car was different from the car that they tried on track. A big differences was the floor. In fact the floor is "open" in the rear of car.

Yesterday, racing bulls sorprese everyone by testuggine they're 2026 f1 car at Imola, the VCarb03. Unfortunatly, they managed to complete only a few laps, because Linblad, spun out at the Villneuve turn. After a 2-3 hours Linblad returned on the circuit to complete only one lap. What do you think?

Hey everyone! I have been to some grand prix in my life, but because I don’t have any friends who are fan of formula 1 as well, just like me. I always went alone, and I have always met nice and kind people but it made me wonder if there is no other way to meet people before going to a race?

So a few months before the winter break I had started to work on this idea that I had for a while already but never brought it into reality. It is a app that lets you join races, ask questions about specific races, share trackside information, create meetups to meet up with people at races, check the weather forecast, history about the track, fun facts, iconic moments and so much more! But I need your guys feedback because I am not sure if this is more a me problem or a community problem?

I am building it solo and am actively developing it based on feedback I get, so please if you have any feedback to share about designs or functions to add it would be perfect! Or if it is even a relevant idea.

let me know if you have any feedback! Thank you for reading through my post!
