We just shipped Driver Profiles, a new page on In the Marbles that gives you a full breakdown of every driver on the 2026 grid — not just their points total, but how they're getting there.

What's on the page

Land on inthemarbles.com/drivers and you get a grid of all 22 drivers, sorted by championship order, each card carrying their number, headshot, and team colour. Click any driver and a full profile opens:

  • Hero header — photo, number, team, and nationality at a glance
  • Season snapshot — championship position, points, wins, podiums, races, and DNFs
  • Driver Radar — a five-axis radar chart scoring Qualifying Pace, Racecraft, Finishing, Wet Skill, and Head-to-Head record, each on a 0–100 scale so you can compare wildly different drivers on the same footing
  • The raw numbers behind the radar — qualifying gap to teammate, positions gained/lost in races, wet-vs-dry pace swing, percentage of races finished ahead of their teammate
  • Career totals — titles, wins, podiums, poles, starts, and debut year
  • Recent form — the last few races as colour-coded chips (gold for wins, accent colour for podiums, faded for DNFs)

Every profile also has its own shareable URL (e.g. /drivers#VER), so you can link straight to a specific driver instead of the page in general.

Why the radar chart matters

Points standings tell you where a driver is, not why. Two drivers can sit next to each other in the championship for completely different reasons — one might be out-qualifying the field and losing it in the race, another might be a mid-pack qualifier who's a menace at overtaking. The radar makes that visible in a shape rather than a spreadsheet: a lopsided radar towards "Wet Skill" and "Racecraft" but weak on "Qualifying" tells a very different story than a radar that's strong everywhere. It's also teammate-adjusted where relevant, since raw pace numbers mean little without a same-car benchmark.

Use cases

  • Settling an argument — "is X actually better than Y right now, or just in a better car?" Pull up both radars side by side.
  • Pre-race prep — check a driver's wet-weather number before a forecast-uncertain Sunday, or their recent form chips to see if they're building momentum or fading.
  • Fantasy/prediction leagues — the finishing-rate and podium-rate numbers are a faster gut-check than digging through full results tables.
  • New-fan onboarding — someone who just started watching F1 can click into a driver and get the full picture (team, nationality, career stats, current form) in one place, without needing outside context.
  • Mid-season storylines — teammate H2H and qualifying-gap numbers are exactly the stat pairs pundits cite when a teammate battle heats up.

How it stays current

The page isn't hand-updated. An automated workflow pulls fresh profile data every Monday morning from our own F1 stats engine and pushes it straight into the page — so radars, stats, and form chips reflect the previous race weekend without anyone touching Ghost.
