As mentioned above, we have witnessed some extremely close racing results this season, with no fewer than seven – or half – of the 14 Grands Prix held so far being won by a margin of less than two and a half seconds.

For the first time since 2021, four different teams have claimed victory in a single F1 season, with Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes all triumphing in the first half.

POWER RANKINGS: What is the riders’ rank at the halfway point of the season?

Red Bull has seven wins to its name (five of them in the first seven races), Mercedes has three wins (all in the last four races), McLaren and Ferrari have two wins each.

The same number applies to the pole positions achieved by Verstappen (eight) and Russell, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc (two each).

The number gets even bigger when we look at the different drivers who have won a race so far in 2024: A total of seven drivers have taken victories – including the first-time triumphs of Norris in Miami and Piastri in Hungary.

Mercedes duo Russell and Hamilton, Ferrari duo Carlos Sainz and Leclerc and Red Bull’s Verstappen are the other names on the list, leaving Sergio Perez the only driver from the top four teams who has not yet made a breakthrough.
