And the off-season look at Senna v Prost reaches 1985. Black and Gold Lotus, Prost destroying the field, and much more.

Their paths are converging but not yet completely entangled.

It is coming.

2nd part of the Prost-Senna off-season story time. This time, 1984 gets the entire post because the first season with both drivers in F1 had a lot going for it.

And the glut of drivers in the plots always makes me happy. So many names that became (in)famous.

First part of an off-season offering.

Senna-Prost, Prost-Senna, SPernonsat, PSreonsnta, however you want to make it.

Long read, obviously, and it is only Part 1.

That Alpine jump...

Yeah, Haas, TR, Williams, good work across the board in the F1 season, but au revoir.

Alpine vaults them all thanks to Ocon and Gasly and the team behind them executing beautifully in a tough race.

Aston flat lining for 4 GPs now.

Updated Team Qualy Battles plot gif.

And now we wait until the autumn break is over while being swimming in crazy and/or stupid rumours about RIC's fate. New line incoming for the plots?

Verstappen and Albon finally lost one this season!!!

Yes, Albon was pretty severely compromised in the last Q3 attempt by extra weight on his car, but still here we are. Williams and Red Bull no longer have zeros on the board (sorry, Logan, you remain at zero).

Surprised to see Pérez is the leader in points scored in Baku and will remain so whatever happens this weekend. I knew he had a good record there, never realised he had a very healthy lead to second place.

So heatmap is updated and LEC and HAM are still at 19 position occupied with only P20 outside.

ALO is also at 19, but with P1 being the only one he has not reached.

PER was the same as ALO but he led a lap today, so hooray!

VER still far and away the leader in laps led while PIA the only driver to have completed 100% of the laps in the season.

Excellent first race by Franco Colapinto, finishing in a good position (enough to already overtake Bottas in the WDC) and holding his own in a busy midfield.

He was a surprise call-up, but he more than justified Williams' trust in him.
