Welcome To Austria, The 1-Year Anniversary Of This Newsletter! 📍

It was June 23, 2025 that I launched this Stat Pack newsletter and I am amazed at the growth since then. What started as a small passion project has now racked up over 2500 subscribers & nearly 100,000 total views. Along the way, I’ve jinxed almost every driver & had a prayer circle for a few. Regardless, I hope you appreciate the effort & massive time investment that goes into making this all possible. I take great pride in the fact that I’ve never missed a single race.

On a bittersweet note, I am unsure if there will be an edition for Silverstone due to a personal matter that involves a sick loved one.

Thank you for reading. I truly believe there is no better place to find Formula 1 stats than right here.
