This is what the F1 World Cup classification will look like from Miami or Imola: the data that says it all

From the past F1 Miami GPwhere Red Bull began to suffer against a McLaren who achieved success in the American event with Lando Norristhings have been even and very good in the lead. McLaren has confirmed the level of his car and made it very clear since then that he can fight for victories against Verstappen on all types of tracks, even with a car that performs better than the Max on many tracks. And Mercedes joins them, with a car that has joined that fight in the last few races thanks to the improvements shown from Canada and Barcelona.

How would the F1 World Cup be classified if it started in Miami? Things will be tighter than today and it shows how close the competition is compared to the first races of the year. Everything has changed.

Despite this, if the World Cup started in Miami, the World Cup classification would continue with Max Verstappen in the lead, even though ‘Checo’ Pérez was not in second position and had less of a ‘cushion’ of points compared to Norris , which will be second. Only 32 points.

Max Verstappen knew how to make the most of the fact that he had the dominant car at the start, to add 52 points more than Norris in the first 5 races of the year, who at the time was 5th in the World Championship with 58 points behind Sainz, Leclerc and a ‘Checo’ Pérez who started 2nd after of the first 5 races plus 85 points.

It is noticeable already Since then, in these last 7 races, the Mexican has added only 33 points and would have been 8th in the World Championship if it had started in Miami.

The equality at the top is bigger and with more cars, so obviously if he fails to qualify it will be more difficult for ‘Checo’ to come back as he did before in the superior car and score a big handful of points. AND is that ‘Checo’ has only added 15 points in the last 6 races, 11 in the last 5, so if the World Championship starts in Imola, his position in the general classification will be even lower.

This is what the F1 World Championship would look like if it started in Miami (last 7 races):

1. Verstappen: 145 points
2. Norris: 113 points
3. Piastri.: 86 points
4. Hamilton: 91 points
5. George Russell: 78 points
6. Carlos Sainz: 77 points
7. Leclerc: 74 points
8. Pérez: 33 points
9. Hulkenberg: 18 points
10. Alonso: 14 points
11. Walk: 14 points
12. Tsunoda: 13 points
13. Ricialdo: 11 points
14. Gasly: ​​6 points
15. Magnussen: 4 points
16. Albon: 4 points
17. Ocon: 3 points
18. Zhou: 0 points
19. Bottas: 0 points
20. Sergeant: 0 points
