F1 Season Leaderboard: Tracking Drivers and Teams with Live Data

A Formula 1™ championship isn’t decided by a single moment. It’s decided by what accumulates over a season: points earned quietly on long Sundays, margins measured in tenths of a second, and strategy calls that never make the broadcast.

That’s what this F1 season leaderboard app is designed to track. The Domo F1 leaderboard brings live Formula 1 standings into one view, showing how small advantages compound over time, and how little room there really is between first and second.

What this F1 leaderboard captures

This interactive view brings the season into focus as it unfolds. You can explore:

  • Formula 1 driver standings (by total points).
  • Constructor standings in the team championship.
  • Point gaps between teams throughout the season.

You can search by driver or team, filter views, and move between championships to see where performance is building and where it’s slipping.

How we built the F1 leaderboard

To build the app, we pulled live race data through a custom API created in Domo’s Jupyter Workspaces, drawing from multiple endpoints from OpenF1, a github open-source API, including Drivers, Sessions, and Session Results. 

We then used Magic ETL to combine and prepare those data sets into a single, unified view.

With the data ready, we moved into App Catalyst, using AI prompts to quickly generate the foundation of the F1 leaderboard app. From there, we made targeted adjustments to the code to customize the experience and complete the build.

The result is a working view of the Formula One season showing how performance changes over time, not just how a single race ends.

Looking back at the 2025 Formula 1 season 

As we head into the 2026 racing season, our 2025 standings data offers a reminder of how thin the margins can be.

Last year’s championship was decided by two points. After finishing second the season before, McLaren’s Lando Norris claimed his first Drivers’ Championship by the narrowest of gaps over Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. It was a breakthrough built on consistency more than dominance, even as McLaren asserted itself at the team level with a Constructors’ title decided by a wide margin, more than 350 points ahead of second place.

Elsewhere, the numbers tell quieter stories. Red Bull finished third overall, with Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda combining for 451 points. Tsunoda’s season stood out for another reason as well: He became the only driver to score points for more than one team, picking up results with Racing Bulls before joining Red Bull later in the year.

None of those patterns were obvious in the moment. They only become clear when you step back and look at the full season together. And that’s where this leaderboard earns its place. As the new year unfolds, it gives those patterns somewhere to surface. 

Because in Formula 1 racing, the story is rarely written all at once. You see it take shape over time.
