Why this exists
Formula 1 is the most expensive measurable sport on earth, and the way most people talk about it has nothing to do with measurement. We started Five Reds because we wanted a publication that took the data seriously and the storytelling equally seriously.
What we publish
- News: short quick takes on every race weekend, free for everyone, published weekly.
- Long reads: longer features and deep dives for members, published ad hoc.
- Stats: the canonical record, every race, driver and constructor since 1950. Browse the stats hub.
- A Sunday newsletter: one email a week, the chart that explains the race. Subscribe.
How it's made
The stats are built on a single canonical database, fed by FastF1 timing and the Ergast historical archive, cross-checked before anything reaches the site. The full method is on the methodology page.
