  1. webber is back to where he was in 2010 in terms of his average gap to vettel. They were the closest matched team mates that year and currently on course for the same.

    maybe 2011 was just a blip – i can’t imagine vettel getting worse since then and though it is possible webber has re-discovered his mojo, it seems more likely that he just couldn’t get the hang of the blow diffuser. i think we can rule out sabotage on the part of helmut marko….

  2. Its interesting if you ignore the penalties, the average qualifying position are the following:
    1. Hamilton 2.92
    2. Vettel 5
    3. Alonso 6.31
    4. Button 6.38
    5. Grosjean 6.42
    6. Webber 6.69
    7. Raikkonen 7.08
    8. Schumacher 7.38
    9. Rosberg 7.92
    10. Maldonado 8.69
    11. Kobayashi 10.15
    12. Massa 10.62
    13. di Resta 10.92
    14. Perez 11.69
    15. Hulkenberg 12.31
    16. Ricciardo 13.85
    17. Senna 14
    18. Vergne 15.85
    19. Kovalainen 17.69
    20. Petrov 18.69
    21. Glock 20.67
    22. Pic 20.92
    23. de la Rosa 21.58
    24. Karthikeyan 23.08

    Notice Maldonado and Perez lose the most of penalties and Lewis is leading by a large margin at the front.

    1. P.S. Hamilton qualifying postion also ignores the disqualification in spain.

    2. I like very much the fact that on the above table Raikkonen loses to Grosjean as much as Rosberg to Schumi. And think that nowadays Raikkonen is thought to be very quick and Schumi slow because of his age. Just remember that we talk about speed and nothing else. As Ham vs JB comparison shows…

      1. I still don’t understand why people say Schumi is slow. The only races where Rosberg was beating Schumacher in the same situation were China (where Schumacher would have finished second if not for the pitstop failure), Spain, Canada, Hungary and Singapore.
        In Australia, Malaysia, Monaco, Valencia, Silverstone, Germany and Italy Schumacher was faster than Rosberg.

  3. If you take into consideration the ability of the cars they are driving then you would have to say Maldonado has the best record here. Oh no wait he is a totally useless pay driver and should be banned
