Pole Position · by Crowswatch
Which F1 team’s website is fastest off the line?
We run identical lab speed tests every Monday on every Formula 1 team’s homepage and online store and put them on the grid, fastest on pole. Fans bounce off slow sites and sponsors pay for attention, so load speed is a real measure of fan experience. It is a defined, reproducible measurement, not a judgement of the team.
Updated weekly, re-tested every Monday
The grid is being compiled.
We are running the speed tests across all 10 teams’ homepages and stores. Every figure is measured with Google PageSpeed Insights, median of several runs, so it takes a little time to do fairly. Check back shortly.
Methodology
How we measure, in full
The method is the whole point of a speed leaderboard, so here it is in full. Every result is reproducible.
Grade bands: A from 90, B from 75, C from 60, D from 45, E from 25, F from 0, over the Lighthouse performance score. Only a genuinely fast site reaches an A.
Lab, not field: the ranking uses the lab score from identical simulated conditions, so every team is compared on equal footing. Where Google publishes CrUX real-user field data we show it alongside as context, but it does not exist for every site and cannot be controlled, so it never drives the ranking.
Core Web Vitals (lab):a site passes when its LCP, CLS, and TBT all sit within Google’s good thresholds in the lab run. This is a lab assessment, distinct from a field pass.
Fairness caveats: a store carrying product video and sponsor content legitimately weighs more than a lightweight homepage, so the two are ranked separately. Results vary run to run, which is why we take a median. Tests run from a single location at a point in time. A grade is the measurement at the last test, nothing more.
Held back: a URL that blocks automated testing, redirects oddly, or has no separate store is shown as not tested rather than guessed or scored zero.
Run this on your own site
Crowswatch can run the same standardised speed check on any site, free, and monitor it over time so a slow regression does not cost you visitors.
Pole Position tests the 10 established Formula 1 teams of the 2026 season on the public web, using Google PageSpeed Insights. It is published by Crowswatch as standard, reproducible measurement. Team names are used only to identify the site tested; no team or championship logos or trademarks are used. Figures describe each site’s measured performance at the last test and can change as teams update their sites.
