Consider that a warning shot for next season, bwahaha!

Going to have to stop with the wildcard picks, I can't believe MV didn't crash out once, although he came close in Vegas.

It's been a slice, thanks for organizing this.

Bonkers thing I just learned - Max had now finished on the podium in more than half of the Grands Prix he has entered.

That's a fun stat.
For kicks I looked up a few more:

Hamilton: 59% (197/332)
Verstapen: 53% (98/185)
Schumacher: 51% (155/306)
Senna: 50% (80/161)
Vettel: 41% (122/299)
Alonso: 28% (106/377)
Stroll: 2% (3/143)

I suspect Max will continue to creep up % wise, but he's still chasing the goat!

Fun. Max can get to 58.3% if he hits the podium every race next year. If he does that Hamilton would need 11 podiums to stay ahead on this stat.

Of course, Max needs 50 wins more than Hamilton to pass him for all time race wins. Assuming he can keep winning 12-13/year he'd hit that by his 30th birthday.

So no changes at all for next year? That’s rare if it’s ever happened.

I’m hoping this was a sophomore slump this year and I can get back into the podium next year. I’ll take 6th place though as I figured I was going to be lower.

Thumbs up to Flamesrule for organizing and all the tabulating over the season. Now you get to do it 2 more times next year!

Next up testing, rumours, and new liveries. In the meantime, time to add Friday calendar notifications for each race so I don’t forget about races. ><

You can download iCal or google calendar from the F1 website.

It's a ton of alerts as it creates an entry for every session.

Best one lap driver on the circuit. Be interesting to see if he can put it all together.

The Ferrari drivers were pretty equally matched this year, 206 points for LeClerc to 200 for Sainz, but Sainz did win a race.

Man, if I was Leclerc do I really want to stay at Ferrari?

They're the worst strategy team in the paddock. They cost him so many points on their own.

Where would he go? The only seat that is equal or better that might be available after 2024 would be Perez's at Red Bull.

Totally agree. Awful take for an unknown reason.

Thinking about it, I doubt the Red Bull seat is available to him even if they drop Perez. It's a bad look for their development program if they pick another outsider after Perez - why even keep the 2nd team then. And I think Leclerc might fight with Max too much - one thing they don't want is lap 1, turn 1 crashes that retire both their cars.

If they went outside again, I think Sainz would be more likely. Came up with them, and seems more likely be willing to be #2 to Max and just focus on putting up points/jumping in when Max has a bad race. But I'd say re-signing Perez, Tsunoda, and Danny Ric are all more likely than either of the Ferrari drivers.
