Two years ago today, Max Verstappen & Lando Norris got the first of their SEVEN 1-2 finishes of the 2024 season.

An epic rivalry was about to begin.

The only drivers who have won 3+ consecutive races since 2014:

• Max Verstappen
• Lewis Hamilton
• Nico Rosberg
• Oscar Piastri

END OF LIST.

It was 2 years & a day ago that Lando Norris took pole for the Chinese GP sprint race by a whopping 1.261 seconds to P2.

And he did it in wet conditions.

Q - What is the closest we’ve got to the perfect driver?

“Fernando Alonso in those Ferrari years is for me the closest we’ve had to perfection.” - Jolyon Palmer on F1 Nation.

The last time Roman Reigns won a world title at WrestleMania, the reigning F1 champion overcame a huge deficit to win the title again.

Roman Reigns just won the heavyweight title at WrestleMania & the reigning F1 champion Lando Norris faces a big deficit 👀

Acknowledge That ☝️

1 year ago today, Oscar Piastri took the lead of the drivers' championship from Lando Norris & would hold that lead for the next 15 GPs and 189 days.

Out of all the drivers in F1 history who led the championship for 15+ GPs, Piastri is the only one who isn't a champion.

It has officially been 1 year & 6 months since Charles Leclerc's last win in Formula 1.

Seems like a perfect symbolic number for the streak to end at.

Drivers' championsips not won by Red Bull or Mercedes since 2010:

• Lando Norris (McLaren)

Max Verstappen in 2026

HERE'S A WILD STAT - Every Formula 1 season since 1992 has seen either Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen win a race 🤯

• Schumacher (1992-2006)
• Hamilton (2007-2021, 2024)
• Verstappen (2016-2025)

We can't let this streak end in 2026. It's too incredible.

17 years ago today, Red Bull got its first ever Formula 1 win thanks to Sebastian Vettel.

Since that day, no team has won more races than Red Bull.

Not bad for an energy drink company, eh? 😳

Things you love to see.

Doriane Pin completed 76 laps in the Mercedes W12 at Silverstone.

Never forget that Charles Leclerc had a record 8 poles in his first & only season in F2.

No driver in F2 or GP2 history had more poles.

5 years ago today, Lando Norris also got the first of 4 consecutive podiums in Imola.

2021 - 🏆
2022 - 🏆
2024 - 🏆
2025 - 🏆

One of his best tracks.

If Max Verstappen wins a race in 2026, he will join Michael Schumacher & Lewis Hamilton as the only drivers in F1 history to win a race in 11+ consecutive years.

Can he do it?

Here were the long runs from FP2 of the 2026 Saudi Arabia GP 👀

It looks like another unpredictable weekend for the most part.

Mercedes drivers are the only ones with a perfect pole-to-win conversion rate since 2025 😳

George Russell - 100% (3/3)
Kimi Antonelli - 100% (2/2)
Lando Norris - 71.43% (5/7)
Oscar Piastri - 66.67% (4/6)
Max Verstappen - 62.5% (5/8)
Charles Leclerc - 0% (0/1)

Unbeatable force.

🚨 Colton Herta will make his Formula 1 debut for Cadillac during FP1 in Barcelona.

It’s happening!

2 years ago today, Kimi Antonelli drove his first laps in a Formula 1 car at the age of 17.

2 years later, he’s already the youngest polesitter & youngest driver to lead the championship in F1 history at the age of 19.

Something tells me there’s still more history coming.

This F1 break has shattered my concept of time because what do you mean Suzuka was only 19 days ago?

It feels like that happened in a different season or lifetime right now. At this point, you could even convince me the first three races were just a figment of my imagination.

REMINDER - Out of all the drivers in F1 history with at least 4 world titles, Max Verstappen is the only one who hasn't driven for Scuderia Ferrari ... yet 👀

I think we really need a yellow car back on the grid again.

The only McLaren drivers in F1 history to finish on the podium in 8+ consecutive races 😳

• Lewis Hamilton (9)
• Ayrton Senna (8)
• Oscar Piastri (8)

END OF LIST.

Here's a cool piece of history: Sebastian Vettel celebrated his 44th career victory nine years ago today.

And he shared the podium with #44 Lewis Hamilton, a great rival & friend.

Here's a stat that's gone unnoticed 👀

Mercedes podiums since 2022:
George Russell - 25
His teammates - 26

Stefano Domenicali says the auto industry is totally different now than when these regs were decided due to the pivot back to hybrids & ICEs using sustainable fuel.

Says he expects the new/next PU discussion will be definitely different.
