The core Formula One data could be represented in a graph like this:

Graph for Formula One — Driver participate in Races on Circuits

Drivers compete in races that are hosted on circuits. A result is achieved by the driver (position and points for the championship).

If this is the graph, some questions can easily be answered:

With whom has a specific driver (say Max Verstappen) shared the podium?

MATCH (a IS driver where a.name = ‘Max Verstappen’) -[b IS result where b.position <= 3]-> (c IS race) <-[d is result where d.position <= 3]- (e IS driver)
WHERE NOT VERTEX_EQUAL(a,e)

Which drivers from the same country have shared the podium?

MATCH (a IS driver ) -[b IS result where b.position <= 3]-> (c IS race) <-[d is result where d.position <= 3]- (e IS driver)
WHERE NOT VERTEX_EQUAL(a,e) and a.nationality = e.nationality

Lucky day: who won two or more races on the same day in the year (different years obviously)?

MATCH (a IS driver ) -[b IS result where b.position = 1]-> (c IS race)
, (a IS driver ) -[d IS result where d.position = 1]-> (e IS race)
WHERE NOT VERTEX_EQUAL(c,e) and to_char(c.race_date,’DDMM’) = to_char(e.race_date,’DDMM’)
