Standings
Title odds and race predictions — Tier 2, from thousands of simulated seasons.
The British Grand Prix heads to Tier 2, with Heartshapedtox leading the championship on 51 points, just 8 ahead of Stef. The title battle is heating up, with Stef holding a slight edge in title chances at 37%, while Heartshapedtox trails closely at 36%. For the upcoming race, Stef and Heartshapedtox are the favourites, with Stef slightly ahead at 21%, and Heartshapedtox close behind at 20%. Freddie, often overlooked, has a notable 22% chance of securing a podium finish, making him a dark horse to watch.
Written by AI from the prediction numbers ·Rough estimate — could be very inaccurate. No tier has qualified this weekend yet, so this is based on the last time the league raced here with the current cars (Season 3, round 5). Weather, setups, track changes and a new season's drivers can easily move it by a second or more. This firms up once Tier 1 and Tier 3 have qualified this weekend.

Form blends race pace with qualifying pace (lap-time gaps and grid spots), recent races counting most. Few races this season means last season and other tiers count for more. Once qualifying is in, the grid slot adds a boost, especially from the front row. Race-day luck and DNFs spread the chances out.

The order they qualify in on average across the simulations, with each driver's expected lap (from the rough pole estimate, so treat the times as rough too), based on their usual qualifying pace. Replaced by the real grid once qualifying is in.
Chance of scoring the most points of any team this weekend, and each team's expected haul.
Expected = average final points across every simulated season. Reserves and guest drivers keep the points they have so far (and aren't listed until they score).
Each point is replayed with only the results up to that round, so it shows what the site would have said at the time. "Now" is today's prediction.
The model's rating of each driver: roughly the share of the Tier 2 field they'd beat on an average day. The line shows it after each race this season; arrows are the change since the last race.
Heartshapedtox can't clinch at the British Grand Prix. The earliest it could happen is R8 Hungarian Grand Prix, and only if Heartshapedtox took maximum points every weekend while nobody else scored.
The round the title is mathematically decided, across all the simulated seasons.
The champion usually ends on about 189 points (160–225 in most simulated seasons).
Magic number: Heartshapedtox needs 257 more points to be certain of the title, even if Stef won every remaining race with the fastest lap.

Each driver's average finish when they finish, race by race (hover for expected points). The further away the race, the rougher the guess.
Every remaining race in Tier 2, worked out from today's results only. The further away a race is, the more a driver's form can change before then, so the chances even out round by round. These can be very inaccurate: drivers change teams, join, leave or miss races, and form changes a lot over a season. Treat them as a bit of fun.

Every win and podium chance it gave in the training replay (before and after qualifying), grouped by size. If it's honest, its 20% chances come off about 20% of the time, so the dots sit on the line. It was a bit too sure of itself, so race-day luck is now turned up by 10%. Small groups (a low count) bounce around a lot.
How the predictions work
Nobody's guessing here: the site races the rest of the season 100,000 times and counts what happens. Each driver's pace comes from where they've been finishing and qualifying (grid spot and lap-time gap to pole), with recent races counting most, last season helping early on, and results from other tiers counted too, adjusted for the tier's level. DNFs, missed races and a bit of race-day luck are all built in, and points use the league's own rules, sprints and fastest lap included.
It trains itself, without peeking. Every time it updates, it replays Season 3 and Season 4 race by race. Before each race it re-learns its settings from the races before it only, predicts pole and the winner as if qualifying hadn't happened, predicts the winner again once the grid is known, then checks both against what really happened. Over 33 replayed races it picked the winner 18% of the time before qualifying (a random pick: about 3%) and 30% after it, with 52% of podium spots right. The live predictions then use settings learned from every race so far.
It also tests two extra ideas each time, how drivers go at particular tracks and a rating based on who they beat, and only uses them if they make the replay more accurate. So far neither has, so both are switched off. Cars are equal in the league, so only drivers are rated. Finally it checks its own percentages are honest (above) and adjusts how sure of itself it is to match, and measures how much form wanders from race to race, so races further ahead are treated as less certain.
It updates after every result. It's a bit of fun, not a guarantee.
