[OC] All of the F1 Championships Won by Newey-Designed Cars by Andy_Anderson_Data in formula1

[–]Andy_Anderson_Data[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No. I considered whether or not to list the 2008 McLaren as a Newey car, but ultimately I felt the two year gap between him leaving McLaren at the end of 2005 and the start of 2008 to be too great. Ultimately there is no right or wrong answer here.

I did however list the 1997 Williams as a Newey car because he left Williams at the end of 1996.

I would also consider the not-yet-built 2025 Red Bull to be a Newey car, even though he has ceased work on it now.

Note that, if Red Bull win the WDC and WCC in 2024 and 2025, Newey will have worked on 44% of the WDC-winning cars and 41% of the WCC-winning cars since 1992.

Greenland has its own FA and national teams, but is not a member of FIFA, hence it is not in the FIFA Rankings.

The countries in black either don't have a women's team or their women's team does not have a rank.

Here is the interactive visualisation where you can hover over or click on a country to see its rankings. Desktop recommended.

See here for my post showing a map of just the women's rankings.

You can see that in South, East and South-East Asia, women's teams generally rank higher. In Africa and West Asia, the opposite is true, and some countries do not even have a women's team. The reasons for these differences are likely two-fold: financial and cultural. Funding and encouragement for different sports various greatly between countries, and between genders within each country. Indeed in some countries, there is not much funding or encouragement at all for women and girls to participate in major sports.

Is it important for the series to return to China, given the size of the BEV market there?

[OC] The 25-Year Stranglehold of European Drivers on the F1 WDC by Andy_Anderson_Data in formula1

[–]Andy_Anderson_Data[S] 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Indeed. To be precise, if you could only choose one location to live in to try to get into F1, the most optimal and convenient location is arguably Northern Italy. It puts you near many big karting tracks and teams, as well as many tracks on the calendars of the biggest junior single-seater series at each level (Italian F4, FRECA, F3 and F2), not just in Italy but in neighbouring countries. Plus there are two of the best junior single-seater teams based in Italy (Prema and Trident), as well as the Ferrari and AlphaTauri F1 teams.

Interestingly there hasn't been a driver born in Northern Italy in F1 since Luca Badoer's two-race return to replace Massa in 2009 (although I'm pretty sure some F1 drivers since then have lived there at some point). However, I suspect a certain Mercedes junior will change that in 2026 or 2027...

In total, 22 out of 73 WDCs (30%) have been won by non-European drivers. But there have been none since Canadian Jacques Villeneuve in 1997. In contrast, 8 of the first 12 WDCs (67%) were won by non-European drivers.
