I'd never heard of Massey’s method for ranking before. It seems to have been an honor's project!

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/84482244.pdf is a good overview and extension which includes a comparison to ELO.

f1metrics¹, which is sadly no longer updated, contains an awful lot of historical analysis on F1 team and driver ranking, often peppered with rabbit hole footnotes. If you also get your thrills from excessive gnuplot output, it is worth a look ;)
