Random stat: this is the first Spanish GP since 1998 in which the driver who started 2nd also finished 2nd.
How many other drivers had not led a lap prior to the race in which they scored their first win? […]

F1 2 weeks agoSomething I have been curious about: in 1976 James Hunt won the title by a single point after he finished 3rd in the final race (and Lauda withdrew). I remember reading that when he crossed the finish line he […]

Raikkonen – 109 (3 wins)
Montoya – 99 (3 wins)
M Schumacher – 92 (6 wins)
R Schumacher – 76 (1 win)(I don’t think Bernie would have been too […]

paulgilb commented on the post, Four teams win first four races for first time in 29 years 1 month ago
The start of the 2012 season is somewhat similar to 2003 – on that occasion the first 4 races were won by different drivers with the reigning WC (a German who had dominated the previous season) struggling in the […]

Rosberg and Hamilton have monopolised 1st and 7th on the grid this season.
This is the 3rd time in the last 5 years that a driver who has failed to score in the first 2 races has won race 3 – and both Massa in […]

2010 managed it as well (although Vettel could easily have won all 3 races).

F1 1 month, 2 weeks agoThe following table lists those occasions on which the eventual winner of the race was officially running outside the top 10 at some point (i.e. at the end of a lap). Note that this does not include a couple of […]

F1 1 month, 2 weeks agoA couple of random lists that I have been compiling over the last few months (since June last year in fact!). Thanks to statsf1.com for providing lap-by-lap charts of most races (a couple from the 1950s as well as […]

Perez also led a race for the first time in his F1 career, becoming the 160th different driver to do so.
http://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/entete/chronologie.aspx claims he is the 161st. The […]

Belgium 2005 had 9 different teams in the top 9 (but only 8 drivers scored in those days).

This is the second time in the last 4 seasons that a Ferrari has won the race after being challenged by an unlikely driver who was tipped to move to Ferrari later that season (on the previous occasion, Fisichella […]

Fangio at Spa – Alfa Romeo (1950), Maserati (1954), Mercedes (1955)

F1 2 months, 3 weeks agoA few slight errors in Alonso’s points – you have given him 8 points in Europe, 10 in Germany, and 3 in Hungary (it should be 10, 8, 5 respectively), so he would end up with 134 points. Also, Raikkonen would […]

F1 2 months, 3 weeks agoAnother great read!
One slight issue that I’ve noticed is that Raikkonen would still have been a championship contender going into China (the race where he yielded 2nd place to Massa). This would have ended […]

paulgilb replied to the forum topic Alternative history: the 2007 championship without misfortune in the group
F1 3 months agoYou appear to have given Raikkonen 1 point too few in Spain, and Hamilton 1 point too many in Turkey, so Raikkonen ’should’ have won by 5 points.
A great read, though!
