It’s no secret and we hear this almost every day - at least outside the top three teams - that it is Formula 1 in the meantime championship of two classes. Three top teams play in their Champions League, namely Mercedes Benz, Classic Ferrari for sale in Red Bulland behind them - say in the Europa League - the rest of the field. A look at the team championships after twelve races of the season speaks for itself. Mercedes Benz he won 438 points, the other is Ferrari (288) the third Red Bull (244) Fourth McLaren he collected them only 82, with the team from Woking sovereign in place number four.
This difference is even more convincing if we do not take into account the current one scoring system, but the old system from 90s, which was valid until 2002. At that time, only the first six racers received points, according to the system 10-6-4-3-2-1. There were no extra points for the fastest lap of the race at the time.
Priority teams 2019 according to the old scoring system
- Mercedes (155 points)
- ferrari (76)
- Red Bull (61)
- McLarens (9)
- Toro Rosso (5)
- Racing Point (4)
- Renault (1)
- Haas (1)
- Alfa-Romeo (0)
- William (0)
According to this scoring key, the top teams would collect 292 from together 312 possible points championships! That means almost 94 percent all points. A similar monotony reigns in podium rankings. There is no need to recalculate here at all. Only six different racers stood on the podium in the first twelve races of the season. 35 of 36 possible podiums were occupied by the first three teams. Looking at the persons, the matter is as follows: Lewis Hamilton (10 times), Valtteri Bottas (9 times), Sebastian Vettel (6 times), Charles Leclerc in Max Verstappen (5 times). To this we only need to add a surprising third place Daniil Kvyat at a race in Germany.
It's time Formula 1 on track to make this year’s season the most monotonous of all time. For in the history of the royal class of motorsport, it has never happened before that there were less than seven different racers on the winners' stage during one season. Already in the seasons 2017 in 2018 a negative record was reached when we were on 20s or 21s races seen only seven different racers. This number was also reached earlier, but with a smaller number of races.
The first ten monotonies on stage for the winners
2018: 7 racers (21 races)
2017: 7 racers (20 races)
2011: 7 racers (19 races)
2002: 7 racers (17 races)
2000: 7 racers (17 races)
1992: 7 racers (16 races)
2013: 8 racers (19 races)
2010: 8 racers (19 races)
2007: 8 racers (17 races)
1963: 8 racers (10 races)
From the season 2017 je 156 of the total possible 159 ranking on the podium belonged to the teams Mercedes Benz (70) Classic Ferrari for sale (55) in Red Bull (31). That means more than 98 percent. The remaining three podium finishes are shared by the teams Force India, Toro Rosso in Williams. Many fans Formula 1 are of the opinion that he is responsible for this monotony of previous years Mercedes Benz. The silver arrows are from the season 2014 continued to win in a row five racing and team titles, and they will most likely do so for the sixth time. But the numbers prove that Mercedes Benz is not the only one responsible for this trend. Also Classic Ferrari for sale in Red Bull they have their share in that we always look at the same faces in the ceremonies on the winners' stage.
The comparison is also interesting Mercedes dominance of flight 2014 with period Ferrari / Schumacher from year 2000 to 2004. Here are the silver arrows in the front view (75:67 percent in wins). But for Ferrari it was much more diverse at the time. If they are in the period Mercedesa only two teams could win (Ferrari and Red Bull), it is in time Ferrari between the years 2000 in 2004 succeed McLarn, Williams, Renault in Jordan. "We have been arguing for a long time that Formula 1 needs change. And the numbers don't lie,”He is also convinced Ross Brawn, sports director Formula 1. The current numbers in terms of the hole between the first three and the rest of the field are for the Briton alarming. This is also evidenced by a look at the scale of the racers, which is also recalculated to the old scoring system.
Racers Championship 2019 according to the old scoring system
- Lewis Hamilton (94 points)
- Valtteri Bottas (61)
- Verstappen (53)
- Sebastian Vettel (43)
- Charles Leclerc (33)
- Pierre Gasly (8)
- Carlos Sainz (7)
- Daniil Kvyat (4)
- Lance Stroll (3)
- Lando Norris (2)
- Daniel Ricciardo (1)
- Kevin Magnussen (1)
- Alexander Albon (1)
- Sergio Perez (1)
- Kimi Raikkonen (0)
- Nico Hulkenberg (0)
- Romain Grosjean (0)
- Antonio Giovinazzi (0)
- Robert Kubica (0)
- George Russell (0)
If we add up the points of all 14 racers outside the top teams, we get exactly 20 points. Also the fifth Charles Leclerc would have more points in his account than the rest of the field. Yes about the presenter Lewis Hamiltonwe don't talk at all. This one would have almost five times more points than these 14 racers. “Lewis, Valtteri and Mercedes are not responsible for having an almost perfect season,He emphasized Brown and adds that the planned changes to the rules for the year 2021 are not geared towards Mercedes. "However, we all need to understand that the sport we love needs more competitiveness."
Other teams should have at least, too the possibility of conquering the podium. This is not the case under normal circumstances, especially when it comes to the top step. The last winner not to race for one of the top three teams was Kimi Raikkonen, which is years 2013 for the team Lotus won the inaugural race of the season in Melbourne. And more than six years have passed since then. It has been on ever since 130 races always won the racer Mercedesa, Ferrari ali Red Bull Racing. And a year ago 2021 this is unlikely to change. For comparison: Still in season 2012 we had six different teams that entered among the winners. It's from that royal class of motorsport then light years away.
In history Formula 1 it always happened that some teams dominated. But it never happened that they won over a long period of time only three teams. Even in the dominant period McLaren between the years 1988 in 1991 we had four different teams that brought victory. And in the dominant period Red Bull Racing between the years 2010 in 2013 there were as many as six of these teams.
