This was the first F1 season ever where two drivers won 3 races in a row but didn’t win the WDC! 💡

🟠 PIA: Bahrain / Saudi Arabia / Miami (Season start).

🔵 VER: Las Vegas / Qatar/ Abu Dhabi (Season end).

🟠 NOR never won 3 straight, but delivered strong form all year.

Some factors making this possible:
- 24 races -> the impact of a single race gets diluted by the other 23; winning 3 in a row does not give you an unrecoverable advantage.

- High reliability -> strong drivers/cars still get many points on average even when not winning a race.
