I’ve been on Bluesky for only a week yet almost 900 people are already following my page and enjoying my analyses!

Thank you so much 🥹💙🦋
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 🎄

May the winter break bring performance to the teams you support, focus to your favourite drivers, and some well-deserved rest to you!

And to all us Ferrari fans: remember to ask Santa to help the team ace the new regulations 🎅

Electric energy management will be critical next season!
Look at this 👇

🪫Saudi Arabia: time spent braking (7.6%) is less than ONE TENTH of that passed full-throttle (76.1%). Little harvesting, long deployment → severe clipping

🪫Monza: on/off throttle (<10% partial throttle) → similar
(1/3)

💡Some wild stats if you split the season into three 8-race chunks:

-Worst: 🟠PIA at season end (86 pts)
-Best: 🔵VER at season end (191 pts, 23.9 pts/race !)

🟠NOR was never the best - but his worst (130 pts) still easily beat VER’s worst (94) and PIA’s (86)!

All season, I wrote in-depth, data analysis articles for every #F1 race weekend
They were supporter-only, but now they’re all free for everyone!

I won’t be able to continue these articles (for now), so I’m pausing all memberships: no one will be billed anymore

This was the first #F1 season ever where two drivers won 3 races in a row but didn’t win the WDC! 💡

🟠PIA: Bahrain / Saudi Arabia / Miami (Season start)
🔵VER: Las Vegas / Qatar/ Abu Dhabi (Season end)

🟠NOR never won 3 straight, but delivered strong form all year

Kimi Antonelli was just 4 when Jenson Button pressed the DRS *button* for the first time in 2011
Yesterday, he became the last driver ever to use it!

He activated it in the final DRS zone of the final lap, hitting 330 km/h (but still couldn’t pass TSU)

Goodbye, DRS 🫡

At the end, Hulkenberg basically said: “Traffic? I don’t care”
*Proceeds to pass 5 cars in a DRS train in 8 laps*

Fatalities recorded: his teammate, one Mercedes, two Williams, and one Red Bull

“Traffic does not exist, it can’t hurt you!”

Farewell to this car generation: as in ‘21, the final year of a cycle delivered one of the best seasons! 👌

And thanks to all of you for following my work: I hope my analyses made the season more enjoyable! 🤩

Norris beat his first two rivals (VER, PIA) through a clever drive: we’ll soon know about the third! (Plank wear)

The 3 points PIA handed him in Monza proved decisive: kudos to both and to the team!

Thanks Max for keeping the season alive

Ferrari closed the season on a positive note

FP2: 🟠NOR’s higher downforce beat 🔵VER’s top-speed edge!
He braked later and gained at every braking zone (T1, T6, T9), and in the fast corners (T1/T9)

🔵VER lifted before braking into T5, making his lap look slower (did the same at the lap end, dropping 10 km/h vs lap start)

Laps 11–18 changed everything: McLaren went from looking untouchable to not fast enough to win! ⏳

At the SC restart, ⚫️PIA gained 2.1s/lap on 🔵VER, and the race looked over. For short, though: VER was managing, and improved his pace by 1.4s/lap over the next 7 laps. PIA lost 0.7s

In trying not to disappoint any driver, McL disappointed both: not splitting the strategy was shocking, and gifted VER the win!
If VER takes the title, McL’s collapse will be a case study...

PIA was 0.40s/lap quicker than VER: not enough to offset the extra stop

HAM’s poor top speed in Sprint Quali pushed him to switch rear-wing spec, costing a pit-lane start
He went from slowest to fastest (despite using DRS for only six laps), yet felt the car was overall even worse!

LEC, stuck in traffic, hit 339km/h
RUS held a 5 km/h edge over PIA (neither used DRS)

SPRINT QUALI ANALYSIS 🏁

🟠PIA on pole with an excellent package: fastest in the slowest and fastest corners, plus good top speed

⚫️Mercedes: least drag... but lacked downforce

🟢ALO could stay full throttle for >70% of the lap!

🔵RBR and 🔴Ferrari had no strengths: lowest top speed, bad in corners…
November 28, 2025 at 7:28 PM
With two races to go, Albon's and Williams' top speed record (369km/h, '24 Las Vegas) for this generation of cars will never be beaten!

HAM and BEA ALMOST beat the 2025 record (365km/h by HAM in Monza). HAM was stuck in traffic for so long that he exceeded 360km/h on FIVE laps!

McLaren spotted the excessive plank wear far too late!

NOR lifted-and-coasted heavily in the last 4 laps, especially at Turn 10 (Fastest one → worst for wear), losing up to 52km/h! (~1s in one corner alone)
Still, by Lap 46, the damage was already done

PIA didn't lift at all

Throwback to last year, when the slipstream made Gasly's Alpine self-destruct!💥(Not his fault)

⚫️Lap 13 (Reference)
🟣Lap 14 (Failure)

Strong tow from TSU, reaching 361km/h under DRS: the engine reached 12937rpm in 8th gear, then exploded! (Speed dropping, no power afterwards)

I estimated how much each car’s Power/Drag ratio improved with DRS: NOR’s gain was just ONE THIRD of RBR’s and HAM’s!!!

🔵RBR: 19.6% VER vs 19.9% TSU
🔴Ferrari: 11.3% LEC vs 20.1% HAM
🟢Mercedes: RUS 10.2% vs ANT 14.4%
🟠McL: NOR 6.7% vs PIA 17.6%

❌Less effective DRS
❌ERS deployment dropped with DRS
November 21, 2025 at 1:19 PM
🔴Ferrari's wing (Monza-spec) is the least loaded among top teams: the front surface will be minimal once DRS opens! Enough downforce to heat the rears?

🟠McL's V-shaped lower plane preserves some downforce
⚫️Mercedes: much deeper lower plane

Ferrari and Sauber might beat ALB’s 369km/h! (Last year)
