Abstract feature lists do not help as much as finished examples. Here are five graphics I actually built with F1 Tools, with the settings that mattered — and the exported PNGs.

1. Contract extension — Breaking News

Tool: /create
Preset: Ferrari
Export: 1080 × 1350 PNG
Photo: Cutout headshot, zoomed tight on the face

Headline stayed to a surname. Subtitle carried the news line. Light text on red. This is the fastest path from idea to post — under two minutes once the PNG cutout exists.

2. Race win poster — Race Winner

Tool: /winner
Preset: Mercedes
Pose: Front
Export: 2160 × 2700 PNG

I used the built-in George Russell front pose, set the event line to the round name, and exported at 2×. On Instagram the extra pixels survived compression better than a 1× export I tried earlier from a screenshot.

3. Qualifying grid carousel — Starting Grid

Tool: /grid
Export: 2 × 1440 × 1880 PNG
Post: Instagram carousel

Reordered by dragging after Q3, fixed one reserve driver name, exported both pages, uploaded in order. Caption told people to swipe for P12–P22. Full notes: Creating an Instagram F1 starting-grid carousel.

Starting Grid page 1 export — P1–P11, 1440×1880

Starting Grid page 2 export — P12–P22, 1440×1880

4. Parody stewards document — Stewards Notice

Tool: /notices
Export: 1588 × 2246 PNG (also available as A4 PDF)

Filled event, article reference, and a short decision paragraph. The PDF is the better archive; the PNG is the better meme for Discord.

5. Midfield “what if” winner — Race Winner again

Preset: Haas
Pose: Front (Esteban Ocon)
Copy: Fake “first win” event line
Export: 2160 × 2700 PNG

Same tool as example 2, different team colour field. Useful check that presets are not just red / silver / papaya — the Haas treatment still reads as intentional.

Shared observations

Pattern	Takeaway
Cutouts beat full JPEGs	Especially on Breaking News and Winner
Match tool to format	Do not force a grid into a single square
Export, do not screenshot	Screenshots are display-sized and soft
Keep copy short	Mobile timelines punish paragraphs on posters
