Ramadhan kareem! May peace be up on you all! Find below the constructors' championship standings after the two first races in the 2024 season! Here is a quick analysis for what we have seen so far : Red Bull Racing : They seem dominant at the moment, with Max Verstappen leading the drivers' championship and both Red Bull drivers (Verstappen and Perez) consistently finishing on the podium. Their strong showing aligns with their pre-season testing pace. Ferrari : Despite strong pre-season testing results, Ferrari seems a step behind Red Bull. They've secured the two podium finishes but haven't quite matched Red Bull's overall performance. Mercedes : currently sits in third, but with a much lower point total than expected. This suggests they might be struggling with their car's performance or haven't fully unlocked its potential. It's still early to predict the championship contenders, but Red Bull is certainly looking strong at this point. The next few races will be crucial in understanding how Ferrari and Mercedes can close the gap. Looking ahead : Australian Grand Prix starting from March 22nd, 2024!

Formula 1 had a great weekend. Lando Norris won his first race ever. Max Verstapen came in second place. I wondered why (considering how dominate Verstappen has been recently), so I looked at the data. Norris' car handled better. He was getting into corners quicker especially in the twisty part of the track. This resulted in lap times that were a few milliseconds faster. In particular, Sector 1 which has a lot of turns. Verstappen was just as fast in a straight line (and even had higher top speeds in some areas), but he had a hard time turning the car. "It's a disaster!" was the radio comm to his pit crew. Data only gets you so far. At some point, you have to turn that data into decisions. Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology has some work to do to match McLaren Racing. McLaren has done a bunch of upgrades which were very effective. Over the next 3 or 4 races, we'll see if McLaren has indeed passed Red Bull or if this was just a lucky break. I dug a little deeper. Red Bull had a problem with the 'hard' set of tires. Red Bull was outperforming McLaren on the 'medium's, but now McLaren was faster. 0.100 seconds * 30 laps is 3 seconds. 100ms is the blink of an eye. That's all it takes - 100 milliseconds over 100 seconds of racing (a lap). 0.1%. If you can improve by just 0.1%, you can win. If you decline by 0.1%, you get left behind. That's the difference that McLaren made. And it made all the difference. Get just a little better every day. McLaren is a great example of this. Kudos to Zak Brown for the incredible results, and Norris for the great drive over the last 30 laps. #improve #f1

Race Recap 4.5 /24: #ChineseGP - China's first Sprint Race weekend of 2024 was a rollercoaster! Qualifying was a season highlight with championship contenders Verstappen and Leclerc going off track, Hamilton initially on pole, Norris snatching it away twice, and ultimately claiming the top spot. This drama perfectly set the stage for an equally thrilling Sprint Race. Sprint Race Highlights: ⭐Hamilton vs. Norris: Turn 1? More like Turn-around for Norris as Lewis bullies him off track. Alonso capitalizes, briefly becoming the "almost champion." ⭐Max's Battery Blues: Verstappen's car went flatter than a day-old pancake, struggling to keep up with a feisty Alonso. ⭐Alonso's Puncture: Just when the Spaniard was giving another Spaniard a run for his money, a late-race puncture ended his charge. ️ ⭐Scuderia Ferrari Feud: Sainz and Leclerc went from teammates to torpedoes, almost taking each other out in a display of on-track rage. ⭐Verstappen Cruises to Victory: Max showed why he's the champion, leaving Hamilton in the dust with a 12.6-second lead. Bonus: Ricciardo even managed to outqualify his teammate Yuki! Looks like things are finally looking up for the Honey Badger. ⬆️ you know the drill by now, but if YOU are new here:- →Reply below with your funniest one-liner summarizing the Suzuka Grand Prix. →Let's keep it short, sweet, and side-splittingly funny! →The more creative, the better! ️ 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞: **𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭: 𝐀 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐱'𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐲. 🥟 ** With such a dramatic Sprint Race serving as the appetizer, the stage is set for an exciting Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday. I am left with nothing but pure buzzing excitement... Will Verstappen extend his dominance? Can McLaren surprise everyone? Will the Ferraris resolve their differences? What Are Your Predictions? #chinesegp #formula1

It's looking like it might be a long year in F1 for anyone who isn't a Max fan... While today might have only been the second practice session (third if you count filming days), the feeling in the paddock is that it's going to be another season of dominance for Red Bull. Even though the timing boards were topped by Ferrari today, everyone knows that lap times mean little, and it's in the paddock where you'll find the best indication of who's doing well (think of Aston Martin last year). Even as a Mercedes fan, you have no choice but to take your hat off and admire the job that Red Bull has done. To take a car which was so dominant, and seemed surely to have reached the theoretical limit of how good this generation of cars can be, and find an extra second (compared to last year's testing) is absolutely ludicrous. Trying to spot chinks in Red Bull's dominance might seem futile, but there are a few things that might be cause for hope. Mercedes seems to have finally got their car working mechanically, which means they can finally work on aerodynamic performance in earnest, while Ferrari seems to have got the rear of their car under control. It might not be enough for consistently competitive races in 2024, but just maybe for 2025. One can hope! #Formula1 #RedBull #Mercedes #Ferrari #F1Testing

Little late on this one, and yes it is just an excuse to post about F1 and the excitement of Norris finally clinching his first ever podium, but McLaren Racing and Lando Norris' recent win can definitely (for LinkedIn purposes at least) demonstrate some valuable lessons for us all around perseverance and determination. It's taken Norris 110 races in Formula 1 to finally win his first race podium. Many other drivers have done this a lot more quickly, or with many multiple podiums within the same number of races, but the important thing is that neither McLaren nor Norris gave up. McLaren is the second-most successful F1 team ever (after Ferrari) and yet, with all of this prestigious history, they haven't [until now] won a race since Ricciardo found pole in 2021 at Monza and before then, all the way back to 2012 with Button and Hamilton bringing it home. With the continued belief that McLaren could once again be back on top in F1, the long-standing and deeply trusting partnership between Norris, McLaren's CEO Zac Brown and the whole of the McLaren team has proven that working together and pulling consistently in the same direction, even when times are tough, will get the end result. Let's not forget that each and every driver and each and every team on the grid represents the absolute best of the best, so the competition is high. When you want to push to the limit, achieve more, be better, it's not meant to be an easy task, but when it comes, the reward is that much sweeter! Congrats Lando, may this be the first of many wins to come! #formula1 #perseverance #progression #teamwork https://lnkd.in/eHcsB-HA

5️⃣ Round Five: China 5️⃣ Last race, Red Bull bounced back from their Australian GP struggles to seal their third 1–2 of the season. Ferrari also cemented their place as the second-fastest team. This week, F1 will head to Shanghai, PRC, for the first time since 2019. Hosted in Shanghai International Circuit, the track consists of 16 corners that will punish the tyres to their absolute limit. Expect plenty of action coming in into Turns 1, 2, and 14. So, what should we look out for this weekend? 👀 Ahead of the 2024 race, here’s a little reminder of what happened in Shanghai five years ago: 1️⃣ Valtteri Bottas on pole: Valtteri Bottas qualified on pole with only 0.023 seconds, separating him with second-placed Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel rounded off the trio. 🏆 Hamilton wins the 1000th GP: It was smooth sailing for Hamilton after he overtook Bottas into the first corner and never relinquished his lead until the end of the race. Vettel finished third for Ferrari. 👏 Albon gets DOTD: After crashing his Toro Rosso in FP3, Alex Albon needed to start the race from the pit lane after receiving a new chassis. He made plenty of moves during the race and managed to finish in tenth, and was voted as the “Driver of the Day” by the fans. What’s your prediction for the Chinese GP? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 p/s: Don’t forget that the Chinese round is a sprint weekend. ** 🏎 Love seeing Formula One content on LinkedIn?
