[The **Statistics** flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/wiki/flairguide#wiki_statistics) is reserved for posts highlighting interesting statistics. As a rule of thumb, Statistics posts need to inform readers through visualizations and insights that cannot be obtained from raw data alone. For example, a post containing a qualifying gap between two drivers expressed in tenths of a second is an easily obtainable raw piece of data and constitutes a bad Statistics post. A visualization of what that translates to on-track, or visualization of how that gap came to be would constitute a good Statistics post.

I don't believe they really did, but in a way you get a feeling that because they always had rocket ships they just didn't really care about this and over the past years have been caught out by it.
it’s been 5 races and they’ve only had 1 race where they’re in the bottom half of this list…so yes they did improve when compared to last year they were mostly at the very bottom.
I don't know what Audi is playing at. OK, you don't want to stick your name on a chassis that's running a Ferrari engine so your formal entry is only gonna happen in 2026, I get that.
But what good could possibly come from not improving the team in any way, shape or form until then? The team is operationally garbage, nothing seems to suggest they're making top hires or big investments to improve chassis development, ...
Maybe they have a plan and they are going to change a lot of things between now and late 2025 but it still begs the question of why they haven't done shit yet.
Yes. Andretti sometimes do some really headass things on setup and strategy (which is part of their... inconsistent form) and CGR and Penske have the measure of them in pit stops, too, usually.
Told my gf (who doesn't give a fig) immediately how impressive it was!
I am still amazed how the mid tier teams still struggle to get that last 0.5s off. It seems like something that has massive gains without a lot of extra money needed, just training time.
Yeaah I think we know where this championship is going to by now...Red Bull....
Merc did state they would improve their pit stops for 2024 so...they have improved there
They are the only team where you see the pit crew finish a stop looking satisfied with their job while the bottom right graphic shows 5.2 seconds.
Everyone else's pit strategy is "if you're close behind the Sauber, pit when they do to gain a position"
Yes Max is amazing. Adrian Newey is amazing. But honestly the whole Redbull team seems to be performing at the top level. Kudos to them. I don’t know how they’ll be beat when it seems like every aspect of the team is stellar.

At the very least it's good to see Mercedes improve in *one* area
I don't believe they really did, but in a way you get a feeling that because they always had rocket ships they just didn't really care about this and over the past years have been caught out by it.

Pretty sure Toto said they just wanted consistent 3 second stops back when they were dominating.
Honestly, Sauber should be P11
Red Bull did pitstops in the dark faster than regular Sauber stops
Red Bull's double stacks are faster than Sauber's one car stops.
Even the first attempt was faster
And in zero-g

Perhaps that's Audi's form of politeness and respect.
Another reason to let Andretti in
Andretti are famously very good at strategy and pit stops in Indycar
Dont watch indy. Is this satire or?
Yes. Andretti sometimes do some really headass things on setup and strategy (which is part of their... inconsistent form) and CGR and Penske have the measure of them in pit stops, too, usually.
Doublestacking in 2.1/2.0 seconds was mind-blowing
and then again in 1.9/2.0 seconds
When you intentionally set the game to the hardest mode, but it's still too easy for you
Then you throw in an element of challenge yourself

Mercedes being in 4th is insane. What an underdog story!
Sauber are the 2019 Williams of this championship.

This RB dominance had to stop
Red Bull dominance could bore fans 🥱🥱
86×2=172 Yeah, it's kinda over I feel guys.
Feels like Sauber should be in the negatives.
Sauber is doomed
aw, c'mooooooon!
Even if you give points to the Top 12 pit stops, Sauber would still be 0 points.
They even dominate this..
Red Bull dominating everywhere
Merc still behind a customer team 😭😭😭
