Re: Unusual F1 Stats
Also, with Lando Norris' first win, I have cause for an update about one-hit wonders in the 2020s. Right now we're up to four - Gasly, Ocon, Russell, Norris - and it could have been six if Pérez and Sainz hadn't both gone on to more wins. Now we know the McLaren is up to the task, we might end this...

Also, Ash Sutton has been on the podium in every race so far but hasn't won any yet. Also, every nation in th...

Make that one for now with Daryl DeLeon driving.
Also WSR downsizing to three cars and PMR to two after Jade Edwards fails to raise the funds to drive for the latter.
Means the 2024 BTCC kicks off this weekend with the lowest number of entries since before the start of the NGTC era.
