LIVID ARSON RAGHHH 🔥🔥

This is all statistical based of the limited data set of 8 races available, and done just for fun! (Unless I am correct. In which case this is all part of my overarching ✨Plan✨)

Teams HQ race + anthem played if they win

Mercedes - Silverstone | German (Austria is considered)

Ferrari - Monza | Italian

Mclaren - Silverstone | British

Red bull - Silverstone | Austrian

Racing bulls - Monza | Italian

Audi - Austria | German (Austria)

Haas - US gp | American

Alpine - Silverstone (did not expect this?) | French (Monaco) (did expect this)

Williams - Silverstone | British

Aston Martin - Silverstone | British

Cadillac - US gp | American

SO for Audi and Mercedes, the Germans, they have Austria considered instead, and alpine has the Monaco gp.

as per location, 6/11 teams have Silverstone, 2/11 have Monza, 2/11 have and of the 3 US gp's and 1/11 has Austria.

Per anthem, 3/11 have Austria, 3/11 have Silverstone, 2/11 have monza, 2/11 have US, and 1/11 has Monaco.

sooooo, let's evaluate themm!

this is a cumulative of either 5 or 8 races depending on which us race you're counting, and so far, 3 of these 5 or 8 have occurred. Miami, Austria and Monaco.

PER LOCATION,

Audi has Austria, Cadillac and Haas have Miami, and ... yeah that's it.

Austria

Audi finished 11th and 12th in Austria, which as per points is literally not really anything big, given they haven't really scored pints since Australia.

buuuut, counting positions, (Gabi first, Nico second)

They were 11th and 12th in Austria (11.5),  11th and NC/20th in Barcelona (15.5),  11th and 13th in Monaco (12),  12th and 13th in Canada (12.5),  12th and nc/19th in Miami (15.5), 11th and 13th in Japan (12),  11th and nc/21 in China (16)   9th and nc/22nd in Australia (15.5)

So we can notice lots of thing here. like how their avg finish position 13.8. And how hulkenberg's options in a race seem to be either do not finish or p13. Like, jeez, what do you mean he hasn't finished half the races?!

But in all seriousness, Austria was actually thier best finish together. especially considering it should be Hulkenbergs home race equivalent, this is odd.

Now for the Miami gp.

Both Haas and cadillac can consider that one of thier three home gp's. (hear me out, if two teams have three home gp's maybe it's time to cut one. Make it one each, ya know.)

now Haas, point wise had thee best race in china, with 11 points

counting positions, (not driver wise unlike Audi)

They were 14th and 16th in Austria (15),  13th and 17th in Barcelona (15),  9th and Nc/20th in Monaco (14.5),  10th and 14th in Canada (12),  11th and 13th in Miami (12), 10th and NC/22nd in Japan (16),  5th and 14th in China (9.5)   7th and 11th in Australia (9)

So average finish is 12.9. And while Miami is not their best, it is their third best. And given that the previous race's average was P16, P12 is a pretty good improvement, I'd say.

Cadillac points wise uhhhhh.... are very consistent.

They were NC/21st and NC/22nd in Austria (21.5),  14th and NC/21st in Barcelona (17.5),  15th and NC/21st in Monaco (18),  16th and nc/17th in Canada (16.5),  16th and nc/18th in Miami (17), 17th and 19th in Japan (18),  13th and 15th in China (14)   16th and nc/19th in Australia (17.5)

This makes thier avg finishing position 17.625, with Miami as thier third best finish. which seems to be a pattern for the us teams. maybe because Miami's one of 3? maybe because Miami's the us race least considered the home race? (order being Austin, Vegas then Miami that is) idk man, that's an investigation for another time, when Austin and Vegas have both occurred.

Soooo, by location, Audi's de facto home race was thier best finish, and its German driver's (whose de facto home race it also was) best finish as well, seemingly cancelling out the home race curse. Haas and Cadillac both had thier concurrent 3rd best finishes at one of thier three home races. (coincidence?, I think not) but we don't have enough data for why.

PER ANTHEM

Per anthem, Mercedes, Redbull, and Audi have Austria, Alpine has Monaco, And once again, Haas and Cadillac have Miami.

So we've calculated for Audi, Haas and Cadillac, so here will be calculating only for Mercedes, red bull and Alpine.

Austria... Again.

Soo, we know it was Audi's best result. For Mercedes, however, points wise it was pretty low actually, a 40. However when you remove points from sprints, it becomes thier second best, with china being a 1-2, gaining 43 points and Miami being 1-4, gaining 37 points.

The points, driver wise this time (George then Kimi)

They were 1st and 3rd in Austria (2),  2nd and 16th in Barcelona (9),  12th and 1st in Monaco (6.5),  nc/19th and 1st in Canada (10),  4th and 1st in Miami (2.5), 4th and 1st in Japan (2.5),  2nd and 1st in China (1.5)   1st and 2nd in Australia (1.5)

Their average finish is 4.44. Which is ridiculous. no wonder they're beating second place by over a hundred points In the WCC.

They seem to be following haas's 'very good at the start, slowly worse as time goes by', but Austria marks a decisive upward point in their joint positions. Given that Austria is very much one of their highest finishes, especially given their previous run, of 9, 6.5 and 10, I'd say Austria was pretty good luck for them as a home race.

For red bull, points wise, it was actually thier second best, after Canada.

based on result, (I know I keep mentioning points wise, but they're basically useless since they're an incomplete measure of every team's performance)

Driver wise, (Isack then Max)

They were 6th and 2nd in Austria (4),  6th and 4th in Barcelona (5),  4th and NC/22nd in Monaco (13),  5th and 3rd in Canada (4),  nc/22nd and 5th in Miami (13.5), 12th and 8th in Japan (10),  8th and nc/16th in China (12)   6th and NC/20TH in Australia (13)

Their average is 9.3, which makes me feel like some god out there is messing around, given the driver's numbers are literally 6 and 3. Then again could just math being oddly coincidental and ouroboric (??is that a word?) again.

Austria matches their best ever joint finish of 4, and give them thier highest ever personal finish of 2, so I would say it is great team home race luck for Red Bull.

Also the personal finish was from their dutch driver max Verstappen, who, I suppose, given the amount of time he has driven for red bull, the amount of fans who show up there for him an an annual basis and Netherlands proximity to Austria, can consider it one of his de facto home races, alongside Belgium.

Monacooooo

ft p3 PIIIIEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEE GASSSSSSSSSSLLLLLYYYYYYYY

(can you tell I just took f1.com's Danny Ric bday quiz?)

Anywho, coming to Alpine, which is the second team so far to have a driver with the same home race as the team. the aforementioned Pierre gasly.

points wise, monaco, for alpine was amazing. thier best, in fact.

results wise, (Pierre then Franco)

They were 13th and 15th in Austria (14),  7th and 10th in Barcelona (8.5),  3rd and 14th in Monaco (8.5),  8th and 6th in Canada (14),  nc/21st and 7th in Miami (14), 7th and 16th in Japan (11.5),  6th and 10th in China (8)   10th and 14th in Australia (12)

Thier average placing is 11.3.

Monaco is actually their second best result! which seems to be bit of a pattern given Monaco is alpine's de facto home race, same for Mercedes. But Austria is also Audi's best race so we don't have enough data to confirm a correlation between a team's defacto home race and thier second best result.

Conclusion

Soooo, to conclude, per location, we evaluated, Audi, Haas and Cadillac, (all of which have the same home race per location and anthem).

Austria was Audi's all time best. It was also its German driver, Nico H's best race finish. Importantly, it was the de facto home race for the team and the driver.

Miami was Haas's third best place, but marked a significant improvement from the previous race. It is important to note that it is only one of three home races of Haas.

Miami was also Cadillac's third best place, and it was a slight increase from the previous race. It is important to note this is also only one of three home races for Cadillac.

Per anthem we additionally evaluated Mercedes, red bull and Alpine.

Austria was Mercedes' second best result, after Australia and China. It was a significant increase for Mercedes in terms of form, with both drivers finishing in the top 3 for the first time since China. It is important to note that this is Mercedes de facto anthem home race.

Austria was red bull's best result, tying with Canada. They also achieved their best personal result from their dutch driver Max Verstappen, who one can argue holds Austria as a de facto home race.

Monaco was Alpine's second best result. (Coincidence? I Think Not!) It was also the best result for the French driver Pierre Gasly, who can consider Monaco his own home race.

So this is a lot of information, all pointing to each team getting pretty good result in thier defacto location/anthem based teams, but the issue here, is as everyone and their grandma 6 teams are based out of Silverstone, there is not nearly enough data leading up to Silverstone to conclude or rule out any odd looking coincidences. We can also not conclude whether this curse/blessing is dependent upon the home race being decided upon anthem or location of HQ.

But we can conclude, these things.

If it is your team's home race, you are likely to have a good race

If it is your de facto home race, (not actual home race) you will have your best finish (so far) (evidence: Pierre Gasly, Nico Hulkenberg, Max Verstappen)

It is possible that if it is your team's Home race, de facto or not, and your home race, de facto or not, the home race curse cancels out magnificently to give you an amazing personal best. (Evidence: Pierra Gasly, Nico Hulkenberg, Max Verstappen)

Therefore, at Silverstone, hypothetically, drivers who are completely guaranteed to have a good joint race, by virtue of being non British drivers for a British team are

Max Verstappen + Isack Hadjar - Red Bull (VER5TAPPEN!!!)

Franco Colapinto + Pierre Gasly - Alpine

Lance Stroll + Fernando Alonso - Aston Martin (Uhhhh, no dnf's???)

Drivers who could possibly benefit from the de facto home race data

Alex Albon - Half British half Thai, Thai flag

Arvid lindblad - British flag, but, hear me out, he is half Swedish and part Indian, so that might help

Max verstappen/Nico Hulkenberg????? - Highly dubious, but Netherlandsand Germany are close to Britain (as per a map. do not live in either of the three named countries and as such am not the most accurate judge of this) so just throwing thier names in here. Most likely not.

Drivers who should logically have the home races cancel out and get amazing races

George russell

Lando Norris

Alex Albon

Now. Hear me out.

2019 ROOKIES PODIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT SILVERSTONE!!!!!

(With Max Verstappen P4 and Arvid Lindblad P5!)
