F1 Alternatives

Dumb stats and alternatives that you never needed to know

Of the last 10 "Striking Distance" graphics, just 1 has been correct

This is the first time since Spain 2016 the top 2 drivers in the championship both failed to score points in a race

The narratives in this sport are Shakespearean

Love him or hate him, anyone fighting Hamilton for the lead feels like they're fighting the final boss in a game, and I'm going to really miss that feeling when he calls it quits

Interestingly, apart from the 2010's, every WDC showdown lull has been ended with a flurry of showdowns in back to back seasons

[F1 Alternatives @F1_Alternatives]

If the WDC is all done and dusted before the final round, it will be the 2nd longest final round showdown lull in F1 history (tied 2nd with 1969-1973)

Only 1987-1993 has it beat, totalling at 7 seasons

@romojokes That's my thinking. Plus the narrative of LeClerc winning in Bahrain
Add in Gasly and Perez shock wins last season too. Dare to dream right

Without fail, a non F1 fan seeing a pit stop will say "woah that was quick"

It's mental how we're so numb to the sheer insanity of it all really

[F1 Alternatives @F1_Alternatives]

This race closing the season we've had is the equivalent of reaching into a Pringles tin and feeling crumbs

[F1 Alternatives @F1_Alternatives]

It's so weird to me seeing modern Pirelli tyres on old cars. It's like if a football club edited their current kit onto historic images

[F1 Alternatives @F1_Alternatives]

Perez's win last Sunday means he holds the record for most races before 1st win, with 190.
2nd place is Webber with a measly 130

The 1994 F1 season is a PERFECT blockbuster movie waiting to be made
From Senna to the dawn of Schumacher
The Benetton being a regulation * on wheels
Even more regulation *'s and chaos at Silverstone
Then the climatic Adelaide finale

@Morgz5631 Apparntly can't read my own spreadhsheets and confused spa and Canada

F1 if Lewis Hamilton never existed
Simply by removing his race results, and anybody who finished behind him gets +1 position
Spoilers, Rosberg benefits a lot
