I think Toyota have finished second 5 times now- they obviously don’t quite have what it takes to win, a bit like Nick Heidfeld

I’m with Harv’s… pick one point system eg Fangio’s, and apply it across all of Schumacher’s & Hamilton’s results, then see what the result is

Two drivers who blatantly violated safety regulations benefitted by starting in front of another driver who was naive enough to observe them. The amount of controversy it provoked was at a record low, because no other safety-related incidents have been blown out of proportion lately, and yellow flags in qualy are so unlikely to ever happen again that there is nothing to complain about.

Malaysia 2006 had a lot of grid changes due to engine penalties. I was there and we didn’t know the grid until Sunday morning. He’s Wiki’s entry on the subject:

Qualifying on Saturday saw the new rules put to the test, as David Coulthard, Felipe Massa, Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher were all forced to swap engines from the Bahrain GP and therefore lost 10 places on the starting grid after qualifications (Massa actually changed his engine twice, causing him to lose 20 places).

I can’t remember a qualifying session in recent history (i.e. last 10 – 15 years?) with this much red and yellow flags during qualifying and penalties.

How about the first time a five place penalty was commuted to a one place penalty (for Barrichello)?
