Format
Twenty-four race weekends across five continents. Most weekends are the standard three sessions — practice, qualifying, race. Sprint weekends compress Friday practice into a sprint qualifying shootout.
Standings
Drivers’ and constructors’ tables re-rank after each race. We re-publish them within an hour of the official timing sheets, with a note on any provisional or steward-amended positions.
Recent reporting
Paddock reads every Thursday, qualifying read on Saturday, race column and reactions on Sunday. Strategy-board breakdown mid-week.
Tournament grammar
The four things to read first
Points scale
The top ten score — twenty-five for a win, then eighteen, fifteen, twelve, ten, eight, six, four, two and one. A sprint win on Friday scores eight points; second scores seven; down to one for eighth.
Tyre and compound picture
Three slick compounds per weekend, plus intermediates and full-wets. We publish a per-lap stint table around the race column, not just the lap chart.
Pit-stop cycle
The smallest delta a pit-stop loses is in the low two-second mark. We track the undercut numbers as a separate data set rather than blending them into a single race-narrative column.
Stewards’ decisions
Penalty points, time penalties and grid drops are public and the documents are cited. We add a verdict column where the rule is unclear — opinion with reasoning, never anonymous consensus.
What our F1 coverage does — and what it doesn’t
We publish a Thursday paddock read, a Saturday qualifying column, a Sunday race report and a mid-week strategy breakdown. We do not run paddock gossip as confirmed news, and we cite steward documents where a decision shapes a race column.
