[@Autosport] How the standings looked going into the F1 summer break... Last year vs This year - Lemmy.world

Alfa Romeos and AlphaTauris decline is sad to watch.

I could’ve sworn Haas were doing better this season…?

This year we have 4 to 5 competent teams at the top each race. The other teams are just fighting for scraps this season.
They are: their car is just a dog in the actual race. From a pure qualifying pace POV they are a lot better, with hulkenberg being able to get the car into q3 quite consistently.
That's also what makes them seem better than they really are: hulk qualifying in p8 (great) and then tumbles down to p16 by the end of the race (usually because they have to stop more often or at least to worse tires since their tire deg is abismal)
