#11, by the way, is Davidson.
#3 - 1992 is correct, but I think the other year was 2002 or 2004, when Ferrari was most dominant… deciding in Hungary 2001 would be too early for that season…
I just checked it out… sorry, 2001 is surprisingly correct… the Hungarian Grand Prix was the 13th, out of 17, Grand Prix that year, and that was before the current pointscoring system…
#11 was definitely 2001 - in 2002 it was decided in France and in 2004 it was decided at Spa.
