The pole this year was slower than 2023 pole. The track conditions must have really been terrible.
Call a spade, a spade.

Simplistic view to keep us in check. This year is closer than last year. Will not account for any outliers, safety cars, rain, etc. Final results all encompassing. Will try to update as season progresses.

P1 race finishing time
P2 and P3 gap to winner.

More red = bigger gap to winner
More green = smaller gap to winner

I’ll update the spread sheet next week, thought it would be kind of self explanatory.

It was much slower than pre season as well. McLaren might not have the race pace advantage we saw in pre-season.

This doesn't look like much of a night race...

will be interesting to see how fast Norris can get through the field. On paper, I'd think a race with high tire wear should suit him better than Piastri - but he can't afford to lose much time in the beginning.

P2 before the first stops. The others won't defend because they will ruin their own races.

Sunset at 18:00 local time. Exactly as the race starts. It should get dark and cold quickly.

I presume that's a drive through for Norris

that should be more than a +5s penalty for Norris, I guess? He started significantly too far in front.

Seems like they already forgot last season they started giving harsher penalties based on drivers feedback.
