As touched on above, we’ve witnessed some extremely close race finishes this season, with no fewer than seven – or half – of the 14 Grands Prix held to this point being won by a margin smaller than two-and-a-half seconds.

For the first time since 2021, four different teams have tasted victory across a single F1 season, with Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes all triumphing in the opening half.
POWER RANKINGS: Where do the drivers rank at the halfway stage of the season?
Red Bull have seven wins to their name (five of those coming from the opening seven races), while an ever-improving Mercedes have racked up three (all claimed in the last four races), and McLaren and Ferrari have two apiece.
It’s the same number when it comes to pole positions, which have been scored by Verstappen (eight) and Russell, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc (two each).

The number gets even bigger as we move on to the different drivers who have won a race so far in 2024, with a whopping seven getting victories on the board – including first-time triumphs for Norris in Miami and Piastri in Hungary.
Mercedes pair Russell and Hamilton, Ferrari duo 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 get off the mark.
