Remember what the drivers' standings looked like after the Dutch GP last year ... A 104-point gap was flipped last year from P1 to P3. Right now you could fit a 104-point gap between Kimi Antonelli and Lando Norris, who is P5 in the standings.
Max Verstappen still has the most wins since the 2024 Miami GP Max Verstappen - 13 Lando Norris - 12 Oscar Piastri - 9 Kimi Antonelli - 6 George Russell - 6 Charles Leclerc - 4 Lewis Hamilton - 3 Carlos Sainz - 1 Man vs. machinery.

🤯 Only 3 entities have won over 100 F1 races since 2007 • Red Bull (130) • Mercedes (130) • Lewis Hamilton (106) Only 1 of these entities is a single person though.

Lando Norris gave McLaren its 200th GP victory one year ago today in Hungary 🧡 He did this with some exceptional tyre management. 35 of his last 37 laps on the hard tyre were within 19.9 to 20.9 😳
🤯 Another wild coincidence - Both Lando Norris & Lewis Hamilton's first win as a champion was their 10th race start with the #1 on their car. That's on top of the fact that both were for McLaren in Hungary on the same day (July 26). Lando's DNS in China happened for a reason.
