Re: Unusual F1 Stats
Schumacher actually had 5 periods if we split before and after Magny-Cours 1996, where he DNSd from pole position. Also, while Wikipedia (which is always right) says it's a retirement, I would count Prost's boycotting of the 1989 Australian Grand Prix as a DNS. Did he drive a single metre racing in ...

Yeah it would have to be Lance Stroll. Bumped off and it wasn't his fault, and gave a bad-strategy Alonso a run for his money.
Otherwise, there was obviously lots of other candidates. I just don't remember any of them.
