What is Undercut?

The single source of truth for Formula 1 statistics. Ask anything about 75+ years of F1 history in plain English — powered by a real database, not an LLM's memory.

Why this exists

Scattered data

F1 stats live across 5+ websites. Some have qualifying, others have race results, none have everything in one place. You shouldn't need four tabs open to answer one question.

Conflicting answers

Different sources disagree on poles, wins, and records. Undercut uses one authoritative dataset and shows its work — every answer is backed by a SQL query you can inspect.

LLMs hallucinate

ChatGPT and Gemini confidently fabricate F1 facts. Gemini once claimed Senna took pole in the rain at 1985 Portugal — it only rained in the race. Undercut queries a real database, not its imagination.
