here are the teammate h2hs - please be mindful of the scales as they are not all normalized, they're scaled to fit

the McLaren is getting faster. they aren't miraculously developing themselves out of a hole like in 2023, but it's looking like a close second fastest. the changes seem to suit lando a bit better than oscar.

the scale on this graph is itty bitty 'cause they're so close together!

the ferrari is better than it looked in melbourne, but they haven't found as much as mclaren. the cars are about as close as the mclarens, though. we've seen the cars pairing off by team in the results table a lot.

i don't have graphs to back this up, but by jove this looks like the closest a teammate has been to max in a long long time.

the amr26 is butt and it isn't getting better.

the willy is not so butt but it might be falling back.

now THIS is really interesting. the vcarb doesn't look so shit, but liam is incredibly consistent in it, and arvid is jumping around like he's trying stuff out and learning.

the haas also maybe not so butt the haas also maybe falling back.

audi again has an older super consistent driver and a younger one with glimmers of promise (we don't hold brake fires against people, probably) - without car trouble, theyre 2-2 in the h2h.

there have been much worse alpines in recent memory. it looks better than it did in melbourne!

george out

next round is the first time max is actually at risk of being eliminated: if he loses more than 9 points to lando in las vegas he will be out of contention

the two leaders are still separated by less than 1 race win of points

anyway here's a comparison of the pole times in the first 3(ish, thanks covid in the 2021 season) races of the season in the years before and after the last three regulation changes.

no pretty colors right now but here's how the teams' point shares are looking. first driver listed in the long team name is the one ahead in standings; teams sorted descending by closeness in %.
