Driver Championship

Compare current driver championship points with the prediction supplied during a session. Keep the standings useful between races while clearly separating predicted points from published results.

Availability

Standings / F1TV prediction. Enable Driver Standings for current points and Championship Prediction Drivers for predictions. Driver List adds names and images; Current Session and Session Status add mode context. Live prediction can require F1TV Auth; a replay needs archived prediction data. Current published standings do not require authentication.

Add the card

  1. Open your dashboard, select Edit dashboard, then Add card.
  2. Search for F1 and select the Driver Championship card.
  3. Select Driver Standings as the current standings source, then the prediction source under Data Sources. Keep the mode badge visible so current, live and replay context stays clear.
  4. Select Save.

If the card is missing from the picker, follow Card installation. With more than one F1 Sensor entry, use the sources from the same entry; see Entity selection.

Minimal YAML

Use this in a manual dashboard card. Replace any entity ID with the one in your installation if it differs.

Use the card

Predicted points are provisional. They are not a final championship classification and can change as the race develops. Use the top-driver limit to create a compact championship panel.

When data is missing

No prediction between sessions is normal; current standings can still be available. For missing live prediction, check the availability notice and F1TV status. No Spoiler protection intentionally masks sensitive values until you turn it off.

For an Entity not found message, check the selection in Data Sources and confirm that the entity is enabled in F1 Sensor. For a missing card type or an old interface after an update, use the card loading checks.
