As touched on above, we’ve seen some very close races this season, with seven or half of the 14 Grands Prix held so far – won by less than two and a half seconds. .

For the first time since 2021, four different teams have tasted victory in the same F1 season, with Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes winning the opening half.
Power Rankings: Where do the drivers rank at the halfway point of the season?
Red Bull have seven wins to their name (five from the opening seven races), the ever-improving Mercedes have three (all claimed in the last four races), and McLaren and Ferrari have two each.
This is the same number when it comes to pole positions scored by Verstappen (eight) and Russell, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc (two each).

The number gets even bigger when it comes to the different drivers who have won the race so far in 2024, with wins among seven, including Norris in Miami and Piastre in Hungary.
Mercedes pair Russell and Hamilton, Ferrari pair Carlos Sainz and Leclerc and Red Bull’s Verstappen are the other names on the list, meaning Sergio Perez is the only driver from the top four teams yet to hit the mark.
