About Pole to Paddock

What We Do

Pole to Paddock is an independent Formula 1 resource built for fans who want more than just headlines. We track the full 2026 grid, contract statuses, silly season rumors, race telemetry, and historical statistics — all in one place.

Whether you want to check session times in your local timezone, compare driver telemetry lap-by-lap, or dig into decades of race history, this site is designed to make that easy and fast.

Data Sources

Race schedules, standings, and historical results come from the Jolpica API (community continuation of the Ergast database). Session and telemetry data are sourced from the OpenF1 API. Contract and salary information is compiled from public reporting by major motorsport outlets.

We do our best to keep data accurate, but data sources can have gaps and contract details change fast. Nothing on this site should be treated as an official source.

Built With

Pole to Paddock is a Next.js application using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. The codebase is open for anyone curious about how it works.
