... and it was close. Oscar Piastri was the last driver on the lead lap and was six seconds away from being lapped by McLaren teammate Lando Norris.

One of the rare stats to have gotten harder as the seasons have gone on and gotten longer

[โ€“] Thrashy 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The season is longer, but conversely the cars have never been more reliable. Back in the era of engines tuned to last for one race, mechanical DNFs were much more common.

[โ€“] calamitycastle 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a fair point! I do think Piastri has an extremely level head considering his experience. I thought he'd give Norris a harder run this year but next year we shall see.

I think next year there will be some fairly major driver shakeups ahead of 2026

[โ€“] Voytrekk 3 points 3 weeks ago

There are quite a few shakeups for next year already. I do not think drivers will change as much for 2026 because of the major rule changes.

He may not be the best right now, but the dude is a future champion.

As someone who doesn't watch or know much about f1, what's the significance of completing every lap in a season? Don't all drivers need to finish all laps?

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

No, if you get lapped by the leader, your race distance is effectively shortened by a lap. You don't drive for an additional lap to catch up, you just cross the finish line a lap down. Naturally if you crash out you won't be able to complete every lap either.

Basically completing every lap implies:

  • a reliable car, especially considering this year's calendar was longest ever
  • clean driving without major accidents
  • good pace, since the driver didn't get lapped

It's not enforced if you crash out or have a mechanical failure.

The other three: Michael Schumacher (2002), Lewis Hamilton (2019) and Max Verstappen (2023).

Sounds like some of the best/most dominant drives out there. Nice! Thanks for the info

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm just gonna guess that lewis in ... 19, maybe? Didn't have any mechanicals and didn't get lapped?
