This Week's Chart Drop

Max Verstappen won more races than anyone in 2025 and still didn’t win the championship. It’s an interesting dynamic that has played out before, and no doubt will happen again.

This Week's Design Trick

A horizontal bar chart shows his position in the drivers championship and wins, and a mini pie chart shows the % of total races.

I used a combination of stacked and clustered horizontal bar charts (with secondary axis) so I could add the years and drivers champion position as dynamic data labels. When you add data labels, select More Options -> Label Options -> Under Label Contains select Value From Cells. By using this method, you can change your data labels to show something different, in this case, the years and championship position

Each week, I share one simple Excel visual—from sport, business, or personal finance—to give finance professionals ideas on how to present their data.
