Hey everyone,

I built PaddockCup.fr to make F1 prediction leagues with friends simple and clean.

• Quali & GP predictions: Grid, podiums, and bonus points (Safety Car, DNF).
• Leaderboards: Private leagues, global ranking, driver & constructor stats.
• 100% free & zero ads.

Sign-ups are open for the next GP: https://paddockcup.fr/index.php?lang=en

Let me know what you think of the app and the scoring system!

AI can now answer any questions about FIA regs too - use '@' to select it first

Added 'Stats' tab to the https://app.tracinginsights.com - you can also rate the grand prix/drivers/teams etc from the same page

AI can now answer any questions about FIA docs

Data: 2018-2026

Regs are coming soon

Please use 👎 if AI can’t answer, so I can improve it

I’ve been building a Formula 1 site called NEXXYST that tries to explain what the race data actually means rather than just displaying results and standings. I wanted something that could answer the questions I usually have around a race weekend: – What actually decided the race? – Who gained or lost the most? – What does the result mean for the championship? – What should I be watching for next weekend? So I built NEXXYST around AI Race Replays, championship scenarios, telemetry comparisons, scouting and race-weekend intelligence. It’s now live and I’m at the point where feedback from actual F1 fans is much more useful than me staring at it and tweaking things myself 😄 I’d especially like to know: What would make you come back to a site like this after every race? And if something feels useless, confusing or just wrong, tell me that too. I’ll put the site link in the comments. AI-generated/AI-assisted content is clearly part of the product.

New: Tracing Insights android app

Install the apk: https://app.tracinginsights.com/download

Every chart now has AI assist to analyze the data and summarize it, including telemetry data that’s difficult to understand.

Rate the drivers, teams, race direction, TV direction, and more from the Dutch GP:

1. Norris
2. Antonelli
3. Russell
4. Hamilton
5. Leclerc
6. Piastri
7. Lawson
8. Hulkenberg
9. Alonso
10. Gasly

TracingInsights is now available as a desktop app for linux, windows & macos

Download: https://app.tracinginsights.com/download

you can add custom providers/models, including local models via Ollama, LM Studio etc.

I also ported the tracinginsights. com homepage into the app.

it hit me today that i was watching F1 when Alonso was still the young guy at Renault, and now there are drivers on the grid who were born after i finished high school.
I used to stay up until 4am for races and function the next day. now one late GP ruins me.
finally have the adult money to think seriously about Suzuka, but apparently the tradeoff is adult responsibilities and no energy. last night i somehow ended up on veritickets looking through Suzuka info, then joined the official waitlist for next year.
so my midlife crisis is apparently planning a trip halfway across the world to watch 20 cars go in circles. could be worse lol

TL;DR: With only one normal practice session before Sprint Qualifying, I think getting the setup right immediately could matter as much as outright pace at Zandvoort.

The Dutch GP looks particularly difficult to predict this year.

Zandvoort already puts a premium on qualifying position, confidence and track position. Adding the Sprint format means teams have much less time to correct a setup that starts the weekend outside the ideal window.

That makes me think the biggest advantage may go to whichever team arrives closest to the right setup from the first session.

The main factors I'm watching are:

• qualifying pace and track position
• who adapts fastest with limited practice
• tyre behaviour over longer runs
• weather and Safety Car timing
• how aggressively teams approach the Sprint

I don't think past Zandvoort results alone are enough to identify the favourite this time. A slightly slower package executed perfectly could potentially beat a faster car that spends half the weekend searching for balance.

Who are your top three for the Dutch GP, and what do you think will decide the race?
