If Hamilton wins the championship I wonder if we’ll have two Grand Prix’s in Britain. Somehow I doubt it.

I wonder how much longer before we see an Asian win – would Nakajima even be able to fluke one? Shame that given Japan’s long history in F1, for Asia, they’ve not been able to score a win…unless maybe there was a chart of Wins by Engine?

Does Honda’s 85 starts include their starts in the mid-60s?

Lustigson – good point about Williams. They marked their 500th race at Monza but as I wrote here you can count them up a couple of different ways. For example, do you count Indy ’05, when they were present but didn’t start? In this article I’ve used the data from Forix which does include weekends such as that where they participated but didn’t start the race.

Scott Joslin – I don’t think so, no.

Mr Soap – great point about Bourdais, Coulthard and Webber!

Aidan – Fixed, thanks.

And thanks to everyone for the compliments too

“Scootin159

So Schumacher, the country, would be #3 on the list?”

Without Schumacher the Germans would only have 13 wins, that’s a helluva way behind the 104 they have with him.

Argentina also get 24 of their 38 wins from Fangio but would still beat Germany if they didn’t have their multiple world champions. (Had to check this a few times as I couldn’t believe he only won 24 races, it was 24 out of 51 though…).

So Fangio would only make it into 10th, admittedly there are more rounds to a season these days but even so it makes Schumi look amazing, stats wise.

Absolutely brilliant facts, but Kimi started Suzuka 2005 from 17th, not 16th Even slightly better

@Cameron/Dorian

I’m English but live in NZ and it’s good to hear of fellow F1 fans in the country! Racing fans here are usually only into Scott Dixon in the IRL or the Aussie V8s.

NZ has good history in F1 with the likes of Hulme and Amon but it’s good to see they have a lasting legacy with McLaren.
