Yuki Tsunoda has taken his first points at home! 👏
Some incredible overtakes from Yuki and pitstops from RB helped Yuki recover from the places he lost on the medium tyre at the first start, and he ended the day in P10 🤩
This makes him the first Japanese driver to score points at the Japanese Grand Prix since Kamui Kobayashi took to the podium at Suzuka in 2012 🇯🇵

Aston Martin have brought some interesting upgrades this weekend…👀
Lance Stroll is driving the upgraded AMR24 this weekend, while Fernando Alonso has the spec from Melbourne to allow the team to make comparisons.
The team have made key changes to their floor body, floor fences and floor edge - but in conjunction with these, they’ve also made changes to their bodywork which are more obvious for us to see 🧐
They’ve added a crease into the upper part of their sidepod as we saw on the Red Bull Racing RB18, but we’ve also seen this on a previous Aston Martin - the AMR22.
A bulge under the driver number at the rear of the car has been added to increase the cooling outlet to the rear🌪️
Though these are visually small changes, they should have a big impact - but Alonso in the non-upgraded car was faster than Stroll in Free Practice 1…🤔

Max Verstappen & Lewis Hamilton’s retirements from today’s Australian Grand Prix make this the first time we’ve seen mechanical failures for both drivers in the same race 🤯
Max retired on just lap 5 with a fire and smoke from his right rear brakes which later exploded as he entered the pitlane 😳
Lewis’ issue came on lap 17 as he suffered an engine failure…🫣

Who made the top 10 in the more representative FP2 session? 👀
Less than a second covered the whole top 10 in free practice 2 in Melbourne as Charles Leclerc topped the times with a lap of 1:17.277s, and Yuki Tsunoda in P10 was just +0.911s off! 🤯
That being said, the gap between Charles and Max Verstappen in P2 was considerable at just under 4 tenths - perhaps indicating we could have a Ferrari for pole tomorrow! 🤩

Max Verstappen’s pole lap today in Jeddah was faster than Lewis Hamilton’s from 2021 🤯
With the 2022 ground-effect regulations, F1 cars became bigger and heavier than ever before, making it unlikely that any times set in the previous era would be beaten…
But today’s pole time from Max Verstappen around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit has beaten Lewis Hamilton’s from 2021 to become the fastest pole lap at the circuit, also beating Sergio Perez’s 2022 and 2023 times 👀

Who had the fastest top speed through the speed trap during the representative FP2 session? 🧐
Despite saying their car characteristics had changed to reduce their strength in a straight line and benefit them through corners, it was the Williams of Logan Sargeant who went fastest at 321 km/h 🤯
But how does this compare to the other teams’ top times, and is an order we’ll see repeated in quali later?? 👀

Who made the biggest jump from their best lap in FP1 to FP2? 🤩
This was Nico Hulkenberg whose best lap time dropped 7.054s from FP1 to FP2, and despite him putting in a fantastic lap in FP2 this may be exaggerated by him focusing more on race runs in FP1 🤔
What else do we need to consider looking at these gains?
☀️🌙 Time of Day: The conditions changed dramatically from FP1 to FP2, as not only did it shift from day to night, but the temperature and wind both lowered too. FP2 was therefore, more representative to the conditions we’ll see for qualifying tomorrow.
🛞 Tyre Compound: The best lap of the drivers in FP1 were set on the medium for this weekend, the C2 compound. However, in FP2 all drivers set their best laps on the soft, the C3, which will of course reduce lap times.
⛽️ Fuel Loads: Many drivers were completing both race and qualifying runs this morning in FP1 which will have resulted in altered fuel loads, though what these were when the drivers set their best times is unknown!
🏎️ Engine Modes: A few teams may have been running their engines at a higher mode than others, which perhaps is why Red Bull were lower down in qualifying sims than initially expected after testing, or why Mercedes were higher up in the order.
But who else improved their times the most from session to session today? Swipe to see… 👀

McLaren are veterans of Formula 1, having completed an incredible 58 seasons in the sport 🤯
In this time they’ve had many big name drivers, a staggering number of wins, and even more podiums, which they of course added to last season as they turned around their performance 👏
But what else have they achieved in their 58 years, and what could they achieve in their 59th? 👀
Do you think we could see a return to the top step for McLaren this year? 🏆

While we only saw three different F1 race winners in 2023, this wasn’t the first time there’s been so few drivers on the top step through an F1 championship year…👀

Swipe to see how names like Fangio, Farina, Hamilton and and Senna all feature…🤩

Though recent attention has been on the teams with some interesting (👀) new names on the grid for 2024, this isn’t the first time F1 has had some weird & wonderfully named teams 🤩
Let’s take a look back…
⭐️ Goldie Hexagon Racing: took their name from car dealers John Goldie & Hexagon of Highgate, their best finish over the one season they raced was 4th.
💳 Mastercard Lola: Visa Cashapp RB aren’t the first to be sponsored by a global creditcard company, but hopefully they’ll make it further than Mastercard Lola’s one entry in 1997 at the Australian GP!
👖Denim Osella: Osella raced from 1980 to 1990 with many title sponsors, one of which was ‘Denim’ who were with the team for their first two seasons with a striking blue and white livery!
🏎️ Life Racing Engines: They raced for just one season, but failed to pre-qualify for every race they entered!
🏃♂️ Zakspeed: Named after Erich Zakowski, the team was in F1 from 1985 to 1989 with drivers like Martin Brundle behind the wheel in that time, who also scored the team’s best finish (5th) at the San Marino GP of 1987!
Are these names better or worse than the ones we’ll see on the 2024 grid? 🤔

Who gained the most positions from quali to the end of a race in the 2023 season? 🤔
