On this day, 20 years ago, Fernando Alonso conquered the world 👑

At just 24, he dethroned Michael Schumacher and ended Ferrari’s dominance to become the youngest Formula 1 World Champion.

A day when a legend was crowned, and a new era began.
September 25, 2025 at 1:54 AM
13 races. 0 podiums.
Lewis Hamilton has now gone longer than most before tasting champagne in Ferrari red.

He’s third on the all-time list for most races before a first Ferrari podium, a list no legend wants to be on. The wait continues…
July 28, 2025 at 12:16 PM
Only THREE drivers in F1 history have scored points in 30+ consecutive Grands Prix:

1. Lewis Hamilton - 48 (2018-2020) & 33 (2016-2018)
2. Max Verstappen - 43 (2022-2024) & 31 (2024-2025)
3. Oscar Piastri - 31 (2024-2025)

The next-best active streak? Just 11, also by Hamilton.

McLaren have now taken SIX 1-2 finishes this season, their best since Alain Prost & Ayrton Senna’s iconic 1988 season, when they took TEN (from just 16 races!). 🧡

And with 11 races still to go… that record is under serious threat.
July 28, 2025 at 10:10 AM
McLaren pulled off their third straight 1-2 finish, something they haven’t done in 27 years. 🧡

They’re the first team to do it in the ground effect era, and in the entire hybrid era, only one other team has managed it - Mercedes.

No Red Bull. No Ferrari. Let that sink in!
July 28, 2025 at 10:04 AM
Oscar Piastri has now taken SIX wins in the 2025 #F1 season, the MOST by an Australian in a single year. 🇦🇺

Oscar Piastri - 6 (2025)
Jack Brabham - 5 (1960)
Alan Jones - 5 (1980)

Already a national legend, and it's only his third season.
July 28, 2025 at 9:49 AM
12 races down, 12 to go.

It's race week! 🔥

Hulkenberg spent 19 laps running in the top-three at Silverstone, more than he had managed across the previous eight years combined (11).
July 7, 2025 at 4:30 PM
Nico Hulkenberg became Formula 1’s oldest first-time podium finisher in over 50 years.

At 37 years, 10 months and 17 days, he’s the oldest since George Follmer, who was 39 years, 3 months and 2 days old when he finished on the podium at the 1973 Spanish Grand Prix.
July 7, 2025 at 4:28 PM
Red Bull now has 50 poles in the turbo-hybrid era.

Only Mercedes has more... and by a mile.
They’ve taken 125. That’s 2.5x more!
July 6, 2025 at 9:25 AM
Gasly in Q3:

🔹 2025 - 7 times in 12 races
🔹 2024 - 7 times in 24 races

And Alpine are last in the standings, but not because of him.
July 6, 2025 at 9:17 AM
Alonso has now outqualified Lance Stroll 50 times.

Only one driver has been outqualified by Alonso more often - Felipe Massa (58 times).

Different era, same Alonso.
July 6, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Fernando Alonso has now outqualified Lance Stroll for the 24th race in a row.

The last time Stroll started ahead of him?
Exactly a year ago, Silverstone 2024.
July 6, 2025 at 9:06 AM
Lewis Hamilton has two wins at Silverstone from outside the top-3:

🔹 P4 in 2008 (McLaren)
🔹 P6 in 2014 (Mercedes)

And both those victories came on 6th July.
Today is 6th July and he starts outside the top-3. 👀
July 6, 2025 at 8:14 AM
Isack Hadjar remains the only rookie to have avoided a Q1 elimination in 2025 so far.

The others in that club?
Norris, Piastri, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell and Albon. Some serious names. 👏
July 6, 2025 at 8:00 AM
Another day, another milestone for Fernando Alonso. 🇪🇸
June 29, 2025 at 11:52 AM
Lewis Hamilton has now qualified inside the top-five in four straight rounds.

A sharp turnaround after recording just two top-five starts in the first nine races of the season, including Sprints.
June 29, 2025 at 10:39 AM
For the first time this season, Oscar Piastri will not start from the front row in back-to-back races.

The last time that happened was in Las Vegas and Qatar in 2024.
June 29, 2025 at 10:33 AM
This is just the second time in Lando Norris’s career that he’s topped all three qualifying segments (Q1, Q2 and Q3). The first was in Australia earlier this year. 🇦🇺

Fun fact - The last seven times a driver has topped all three qualifying sessions, they’ve gone on to win the race.
June 29, 2025 at 10:28 AM
Lando Norris’ pole margin of 0.521s is the biggest of his F1 career and McLaren’s largest in nearly 16 years.

The last time they secured a bigger gap was at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, when Lewis Hamilton was 0.667s clear.
June 29, 2025 at 10:24 AM
Lando Norris is now fifth on McLaren’s all-time pole list with 12 poles, moving ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Only Senna, Hakkinen, Hamilton and Hunt have more.

Senna - 46
Hakkinen - 26
Hamilton - 26
Hunt - 14
Norris - 12
June 29, 2025 at 10:19 AM
Lando Norris' DNF in Canada ended an incredible run for McLaren - 22 consecutive races without a single retirement, the longest streak in the team’s history.

Hard to believe that just eight years ago, they had 16 DNFs and 2 DNS in a 20-race season.

Wild how far they’ve come.
June 23, 2025 at 10:58 AM
Each of Lando Norris’ last four DNFs has come from accidents or collisions:

❌ Canada 2025 – Collision
❌ Austria 2024 – Collision
❌ Miami Sprint 2024 – Collision
❌ Las Vegas 2023 – Accident

His last mechanical DNF? Sao Paulo 2022.
June 23, 2025 at 10:37 AM
At just 18, Kimi Antonelli has ticked off these #F1 milestones in record time:

✅ Youngest to lead a race
✅ Youngest to take pole (in any format)
✅ Youngest to set a fastest lap
✅ 2nd-youngest to score points
✅ 3rd-youngest to start a race
✅ 3rd-youngest to get a podium
June 23, 2025 at 10:31 AM
📊 Eight of the youngest 50 #F1 podiums by average age have occurred in 2025.

Every single one featured either Oscar Piastri or Kimi Antonelli.

A generational shift is well underway.
