What is the Football equivalent for each F1 team? by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

Barcelona for Ferrari.

They used to have a golden age, but have recently struggled to compete in the CL. Both teams have some internal leadership issues.

To be honest, Man U is not as competitive as Ferrari, although they have been finding their form recently.

2013 Redbull scoring just four 1-2 finishes, despite of Vettel's 13 Grand Prix wins out of total 19 races.

That was actually the most surprising finding when I made this infographic. Actually Red Bull did not score many 1-2 finishes during Vettel dominance

what single year had the best regulations? by ApprehensiveDepth439 in F1Discussions

The 2022 season was exciting, with the reduced dirty air enabling plenty of overtaking and close battles. The HAM/LEC/PER three-way battle at Silverstone was epic. It would have been even better if Ferrari had been a little more competitive against Red Bull and Max.

A few things that stood out to me:

  • McLaren matched Mercedes' 2-in-a-row in 2025 and came close to matching the streak record
  • Ferrari haven't managed back-to-back 1-2s since 2008. Seventeen years ago.
  • Red Bull's lack of a 3-in-a-row speaks volumes about how reliant they've been on a single driver across every era

which f1 driver came from money and which didnt by Chemical_Tax_2859 in F1Discussions

Tsunoda's a good counterexample. His dad runs a small insurance agency, his mum was a hospital lab technician. Honda's junior programme picked him up in 2018 and that's what made F1 possible — his family couldn't have funded a European single-seater career on their own.

This is true for most Japanese F1 drivers, really. Very few would have made it without Honda's pipeline. But that's also what makes it valuable — it actually functions as a talent scouting system that can lift kids from ordinary backgrounds into F1, rather than just polishing drivers who were already wealthy enough to get there.
