HOW TO USEChoose a series → set the grid → build a strategy → run the modelOpen the quick guide
SET THE START
Confirm or edit the grid
Use the provisional order, paste qualifying results, or move each driver or rider into the correct starting position.
BUILD THE SCENARIO
Choose strategy and conditions
Set tires, pit laps, fuel or bike swaps where applicable, then adjust weather, cautions, degradation and race variables.
COMPARE THE OUTPUT
Run and refine the model
Review finishing probabilities and race progression. Change one assumption at a time to understand what affects the result.
During a race?Select Race checkpoint, enter the current lap and running order, then add gaps, tire age and completed stops when available.Predictions are hypothetical editorial estimates—not official timing or guaranteed results.

Baku · Saturday 26 September 2026 · 51 laps. Published penalty-adjusted starting grid: Russell, Leclerc and Piastri lead; Sainz P14, Antonelli P16, Perez P20, Alonso P21 and Stroll P22. Hadjar is entered for Red Bull and Lawson for Racing Bulls. Grid remains subject to later official changes. Tire wear, pit loss, safety-car likelihood, temperatures and driver ratings are editable model assumptions, not telemetry or a weather forecast. Hadjar has neutral provisional ratings. Historical current-form inputs are not refreshed by this grid update. Starting-order changes remain distinct from qualifying positions so penalties and pit-lane starts can be reviewed independently.

How to read a resultA displayed finishing position means “the nearest whole-position average produced by this selected scenario.” It does not mean the named driver will finish in that position.
