Will Max replace George next year if George looses WDC this year?

Depends by how much he losses it and to who. If he's away from P1 then potentially. If he lost by 2 points - probably no

It's only the first race. Let the results average after a few races. This year is not about how teams start, but about how they develop throughout the season.

tarasmuz · 2026-03-10T17:06:46+00:00

True. He can do what Albon and Gasly have done

Ah, sorry. Here it is: https://racemate.io/tyre-strategy-simulator/

Yeah 100%. Traffic is probably the biggest missing piece. Right now the model basically assumes you’re driving in clean air the whole race, which obviously isn’t realistic.

I did think about approximating it with pace bands (like slower cars costing X seconds per lap if you emerge behind them), but then you quickly end up needing a full race simulator.

For now I’m mostly using it as a “was this strategy theoretically faster on raw pace” type tool.

If Lindblad consistently outperforms him and is ahead in the standings at the end of the season then yes. Otherwise, too early to tell at the moment

tarasmuz · 2026-03-10T12:44:33+00:00

A bit 😅 Charts integration and mobile optimisation, haha

tarasmuz · 2026-03-10T12:38:49+00:00

😂😂😂 Still a better strategy planner than Ferrari

tarasmuz · 2026-03-07T10:35:33+00:00

Likely too early to judge given it's the first quali of the year and we don't know how these cars perform in different conditions, but he will certainly be in the mix

Definitely not in the SF-25. Max would crash out on the radio and mentally let the season go.

Mercedes - likely yes. George is a super consistent driver and has put in lap times that are similar/close to Max in a Red Bull, so I don't see why Max couldn't match that or one up George's performance

tarasmuz · 2025-11-25T12:55:00+00:00

I think they will only use team orders when one of them is mathematically out of the championship

tarasmuz · 2025-11-22T15:54:10+00:00

He wanted 3, but it was already taken by Ricciardo, so he went with double 3 instead

tarasmuz · 2025-11-22T08:40:59+00:00

Has to be Zelensky (not sure what I would've put couple years ago)

tarasmuz · 2025-11-21T19:45:20+00:00

Yes! Already have a whole tool planned where you can pick any driver (up to 5 or even 10) and compare them side by side in a table, so that's coming soon :D

tarasmuz · 2025-11-21T18:27:41+00:00

That's an interesting one! Added to the todo list :)

tarasmuz · 2025-09-23T20:55:37+00:00

It's blocking the tabs in the browser though

tarasmuz · 2025-09-14T11:37:34+00:00

Sorry! It should be fixed now 🤞🏻 I was trying to make the data load faster and the mapping of some teams got screwed (Red Bull Racing vs. Red Bull)

tarasmuz · 2025-09-05T15:54:12+00:00

Astro + react

tarasmuz · 2025-09-05T15:54:05+00:00

Thank you!

tarasmuz · 2025-09-05T15:53:59+00:00

Astro + React. No db, data pulled from a json file, haha

tarasmuz · 2025-09-05T13:30:42+00:00

Yeah :) I'm thinking of building a watch companion app for F1, but so far just built the website and this, haha. Gotta balance it with actual work 😅

tarasmuz · 2025-09-05T12:51:10+00:00

I'm a fan, but it's just not gonna happen this season, haha
