only if they have 24+ cars on the grid

we used to only give points to sixth place. we used to be a harsh sport. to tenth is fine, the ramp of points isn't why Verstappen is running away, it's because Newey is a warlock and there are too many races in a season where messing one up means less.

Attrition dropped massively in the early 2000s. 1-6 was no longer tenable.

If you just took Max out of the picture then you'd have a really interesting season with four different race winners from the first six events and it's not like Perez is good enough to dominate in the cheater car. If all the following rounds gave us poo poo-tier reliability for Max's car specifically then the sport would be saved.

I’ve long thought we need to return to engines only needing to last a weekend. The cost isn’t in manufacturing the 4 power unit sets each team currently has, but in all the poo poo they’re breaking to develop those final four sets - limit that and you’re set. Let these things turn up the wick a bit.

defector provided me with an extremely cursed fact

quote:

Max Verstappen's unsurprising 2024 Chinese Grand Prix win has rounded him out to holding exactly 50 percent of all race wins since April 14, 2019, the last time the Chinese GP was held, and that's including two full years of Mercedes domination.

If my tally is correct, 53 wins for Max, 30 for Lewis.

All the rest is negligable (bottas, perez, leclerc 5-6 each)

Post-Mercedes Bottas is living his best life. I'm happy for him and incredibly jealous. If Audi doesn't keep him around I hope he has a good time riding bikes in Australia or whatever he does.

Something like 4/5 of those races involved minute long pit stops since Sauber's finest minds somehow can't machine wheel nuts that work

Not sure how you analyze stats my friend, but I see a trend of continuous improvement along with his improved qualifying numbers.
