AI Season Analysis (Gemini 2.5 Flash)
Based on the provided results for the fictional 2018 F1 season, here is a description of each team's performance.
Williams-Mercedes
Williams-Mercedes had a strong and consistent season, finishing at the top of the constructors' championship with a total of
271 points. They had an average of
14.21 points per race, the highest of any team. Their performance was marked by several high-scoring weekends, including a massive
33 points in the Russian Grand Prix and
31 points in the Belgian Grand Prix. However, they also had three races where they scored no points at all (Monaco, Singapore, and Japan). This indicates a team capable of both dominant performances and significant struggles.
Scuderia Toro Rosso-Honda
Scuderia Toro Rosso-Honda secured second place in the championship, with a total of
260 points and an average of
13.37 points per race. Their season was defined by a few exceptional results, most notably a huge
43-point haul in the Italian Grand Prix and
40 points in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. They were one of the more volatile teams, experiencing both championship-winning form and low-scoring races like their
1-point finish in the British Grand Prix and a
0-point race in Singapore.
Ferrari
Ferrari finished third with
259 points, averaging
13.63 points per race. Their season was a mix of strong showings and disappointing results. They performed exceptionally well in the French Grand Prix, scoring
30 points, and the Singapore Grand Prix, where they earned
35 points. However, they also had three races with zero points (Canada, Belgium, and Brazil) and a very low-scoring finish of
2 points in Spain. This highlights a season of inconsistency, with flashes of brilliance offset by several poor outings.
Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer
Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer placed fourth in the championship with
221 points, averaging
11.21 points per race. They were a mid-pack team for much of the season, consistently scoring points but rarely challenging for the highest totals. Their best race was a
29-point performance in Bahrain, but they also had several races where they scored very few points, including a
1-point finish in Belgium and a
0-point result in Japan.
Sauber-Ferrari
Sauber-Ferrari secured fifth place, totaling
202 points with an average of
10.32 points per race. They were a steady and reliable team, scoring points in the vast majority of races. Their best performance was a
27-point haul in the Mexican Grand Prix and
25 points in the German Grand Prix. While they didn't have as many zeros as some other teams, they also lacked the explosive high-scoring weekends of the top three.
Mercedes
Mercedes finished sixth with
208 points and an average of
10.95 points per race. Their season was characterized by peaks and valleys. They had strong showings, like a
27-point weekend in Japan, but also had four races where they scored no points (China, Azerbaijan, Monaco, and Germany). This inconsistency, with big swings in performance, prevented them from climbing higher in the standings.
Renault
Renault was a mid-field contender, finishing seventh with
190 points and an average of
8.68 points per race. They had a standout performance in Monaco, where they scored
28 points, and strong finishes in Japan (
25 points) and Brazil (
25 points). However, they also had four races where they failed to score any points, indicating a struggle for consistency throughout the season.
Force India-Mercedes
Force India-Mercedes placed eighth with
160 points, averaging
7.47 points per race. Their performance was highlighted by a dominant
33-point result in the Canadian Grand Prix and a strong
30-point finish in the Mexican Grand Prix. Like many teams, they struggled with consistency, scoring zero points in several races (Azerbaijan, Spain, Monaco, Germany, and Russia).
Haas-Ferrari
Haas-Ferrari finished ninth with
126 points, averaging
5.21 points per race. Their season was very inconsistent, marked by a great start in Australia where they scored
25 points, and a strong finish in Brazil with
27 points. However, they had a significant number of races where they failed to score, with zero points in six races. This shows a team with the potential for high scores but also prone to poor results.
Mclaren-Renault
Mclaren-Renault rounded out the field in tenth place, with a total of
123 points and an average of
5.95 points per race. Despite being last, their season included a remarkable
37-point performance in Monaco. Their results were highly varied, with several races where they scored no points and other races with respectable points hauls, suggesting a car with both speed and reliability issues.
