Site updates

What changed on Gridpedia and when. The data itself is refreshed after every race, usually within a few hours of the results being published; the latest refresh covers 2026 round 20, the Brazilian Grand Prix, built 12 Nov 2026.

Records that changed at each race are listed separately on Records that changed, with an RSS feed. Errors can be reported through the corrections form; corrections that change a page are listed here when they are made.

Date	Change
2 Nov 2026	The Mexico City Grand Prix result page now shows the tyre compound of every stint, from Pirelli's post-race pit-stop graphic.
2 Nov 2026	A drivers' title is now reported as won as soon as no other driver can finish first on points, not only when the season ends. After the Mexico City Grand Prix the home page, the title scenarios page, the standings page and the social preview images say Antonelli is champion (119 points clear with 100 left) instead of "leads by 119". The home page gains a section on what is still to be decided: who can still finish second, and whether the constructors' title can be decided at the next race.
25 Oct 2026	Links added throughout the Learn pages and articles to the records, circuits, drivers, rules and race pages they mention, each ending with a list of related pages. Race, standings, driver and circuit pages now link to the explainers for their charts and tables. Page titles say "F1" where searchers do; record page descriptions start with the holder and the value; comparison pages open with a one-sentence answer. The page shown for a wrong address lists every index.
24 Oct 2026	A Learn section with twelve explainers (the race weekend, qualifying, points, sprints, tyres and pit stops, safety cars and red flags, overtaking aids, penalties, flags, lap charts, teams and power units, the calendar), a questions page with 34 short answers, and three more articles (safety cars by circuit, pit stops per race since 1994, where places change hands).
24 Oct 2026	Six articles published at /articles/: does pole position win, how the points system changed since 1950, the longest finishing streaks, youngest and oldest winners, the closest and most one-sided team-mate pairings, and how championships are won.
24 Oct 2026	Driver, team and race pages open with a written summary built from their own numbers: first start, first and latest win, best season, team-mate record, all-time rank; for races, where the lead was decided, safety cars, pit stops, the fastest lap, records that moved and the standings after the race.
23 Oct 2026	Every main page states its key fact in one sentence under the heading. Data downloads (JSON, public domain) at /data/. A plain-text map of the site for AI assistants at /llms.txt.
12 Oct 2026	Results now appear within about 15 minutes of the data source publishing them, instead of waiting for a fixed schedule.
12 Oct 2026	Title what-if posts on the social accounts: what has to happen for a driver to win the championship, computed from the standings.
8 Oct 2026	Weekly Google Search report and index check added for the site's maintenance.
7 Oct 2026	Gold, silver and bronze rows mark only finished places: race podiums, final standings and the champion's row of a finished season. Every list of figures is now a standard table with a bar column.
6 Oct 2026	Social media accounts live on Instagram, Threads and Bluesky: result cards, records that moved, standings, previews and short clips after every race, all generated from the site's data. Per-stint tyre compounds on race pages for every race since 2023, read from Pirelli's post-race graphics.
6 Oct 2026	Quizzes gained a name suggestion list over all drivers or all circuits.
5 Oct 2026	Race pages show the lap chart and pit stops for a race whose source has no official times, with the times computed from lap times and a note saying so.
4 Oct 2026	Laps led added: three new records (most laps led, in a season, most races led) and laps led on every driver page. Race previews show the animated lap map.
3 Oct 2026	Circuit lap guides: a facts list, a lap map with official turn numbers and a table of every turn for the 40 circuits with a GPS trace; corner tables for the 38 circuits no longer used.
2 Oct 2026	Tyre compounds (Pirelli's hard, medium and soft) shown on every race page since 2019, each checked against a second source.
1 Oct 2026	Team-mate comparisons: 817 pairings since 1950 with head-to-heads in qualifying and races, and 155 team rivalries.
30 Sept 2026	Site launched: every result since 1950, standings, 74 record tables, 865 driver pages, 213 team pages, 78 circuits, title scenarios calculator, games and quizzes, rules timeline.
