Jos Verstappen drove for Stewart in 1998, which became Red Bull, who his son drives for.
Jos also drove for Minardi in 2003, which became Toro Rosso, which Max drove for.
Now all we need is Max at Enstone and Mercedes... and also for Arrows and Simtek to return to F1 for Max to fully follow his father's footsteps...

Jos was also official driver for Honda's stillborn project, and his son drove for the Honda powered works team.

Fondmetal and Jaguar-badged engines have raced in F1, as well as constructor. However, the constructors Fondmetal and Jaguar never used Fondmetal or Jaguar-badged engines.

The only difference is that the Fondmetal engine was actually a Ford and the Jag engine really was a Jag or at least it was supposed to be.

Technically it was a 'Ford engine tuned by Fontmetal' so they had a little bit involvement in improving the engine.

Red Bull could become only the 2nd team to score more than 15 Wins in a season but Mercedes' 2016 record remains standing for at least another season.

If Logan Sargent does get a superlicence and a seat at Williams for 2023, it will be a whole 16 years since an American driver was on the grid at the beginning of the season and 17 since an American lasted an entire F1 season, as well as the first American to grace the grid since 2015.

There’s still a possibility to end this but if none of Hamilton,Russell,Norris,McLaren,Aston Martin and Williams win 1 of the remaining races it’ll be the first time since 1952!!! that Great Britain would not have a driver or constructor win a race all season.

I think they must have. :evil: We've had CARlos Sainz since 2015, and GianCARlos Fisichella until 2009, which does only leave Daniel RicCiARdo in the meantime.

I might try to check every other year at some point, but I know we would start at the beginning with Alberto AsCARi.

As Verstappen claimed pole position yesterday for the Mexican GP, James Hinchcliffe said on F1TV it was 11 different pole sitters in the last 11 Mexican Grand Prix. That's incorrect as Senna had back-to-back poles in '88 and '89.

1. 2022 Max Verstappen
2. 2019 Charles Leclerc
3. 2018 Daniel Ricciardo
4. 2017 Sebastian Vettel
5. 2016 Lewis Hamilton
6. 2015 Nico Rosberg
7. 1992 Nigel Mansell
8. 1991 Riccardo Patrese

Kevin Magnussen's sprint race pole makes Haas only the 2nd American F1 team to score a pole. Shadow were competing under an American licence when they scored all their pole positions in 1975.

Sebastian Vettel, 4 titles, about to achieve 299 starts if he makes the start in Abu Dhabi.

Logan Sargeant will be only the 2nd American to race for Williams and the first to drive for them full-time. (Mario Andretti was the first with his one-off in 1982 and Kevin Cogan in 1980 doesn't count as he failed to qualify and was driving for RAM Racing)

Maybe this doesn't quite belong in the "Unusual" Stats section, but I don't know where else to put it.

I was watching the 1985 season review a few days ago, and the thought occurred to me it was possible that there might be a podium where all three drivers have since died - given that the season had Senna, De Angelis, Lauda and Alboreto in competitive cars (also De Cesaris, Bellof, and Manfred Winkelhock). Some of the podiums contained two deceased drivers, but not three.

At this point I wanted some kind of equivalent of Cricinfo's database with Statsguru to be able to search statistics like this easily. But it doesn't exist, so I had to trawl through Wikipedia instead.

The earliest podium at which all three drivers are dead, is (not entirely surprisingly) from 1982, the San Marino Grand Prix (Pironi, Villeneuve, Alboreto) where only half the grid turned up.

Your task, should you choose to take it on, is to find the latest podium at which all three of the drivers are still alive.

I did a check for about two minutes of my life by jumping into the mid-70s. The earliest race I have found so far is the 1974 British Grand Prix, with Emerson Fittipaldi, Jody Scheckter and Jacky Ickx. Someone else can start from 1973 backwards :P


I came here to say that Sebastian Vettel's podium at Hungary last year, which was disallowed, ended up being his final one in F1. Are there other drivers whose final podium/win was disallowed? Obviously Schumacher's last pole was disallowed at Monaco.

As it turns out, that is the right answer. Every podium before that featured at least one person who has since died, unfortunately many of them in racing accidents (F1 or otherwise).

The earliest podium finisher still alive is Hans Herrmann, who finished 3rd at the 1954 Swiss GP (his only podium). The next closest is Paul Goldsmith, who finished 3rd at the 1960 Indy 500 (also his only podium finish at Indy). And if we disregard Indy 500 completely, we have to go all the way to the 1965 Monaco GP - Jackie Stewart's first podium.

As dinizintheoven pointed out, the latest podium where all three drivers have since died was at the 1982 San Marino GP (for rather obvious reasons). The next closest is the 1989 Mexican GP, with only the second-placed Riccardo Patrese still alive.

Obviously, the 1993 Australian GP is the latest race where at least one of the podium finishers has since died.

Stefan Bellof lost what was not only his last but also his only podium in Monaco 1984 when all of Tyrrell's results that season were disqualified. Quite unfair to him, as I can't think of any other case where both a team and its drivers lost all their results that season after a rule violation (Schumacher 1997 and McLaren 2007 only lost the points in their respective championships, none of their race results were taken away).

Patrick Gaillard (Spain 1980) and Scott Speed (Australia 2006) lost their only career points, the former due to the Grand Prix being declared a non-championship race, the latter due to a time penalty. And I guess Mazzacane might have been considered a points scorer for a few hours in Brazil 2000 before the disqualifications of four drivers were reversed.

Here's one - dates of Sunday have fallen on the same dates in 2011, 2016 and 2022 - the only 3 years Hamilton had finished behind his teammate in the points. (ie in all 3 years Monaco was on 29th May and Spa was on 28th August). So the same shouldn't happen again next year or indeed the rest of his career as the next time dates fall that way will be 2033 when he'll be 48. (as it'll skip the leap year between 2027 and 2028).

Incidentally the same dates fell that way in 1994 - any connection to do with Senna?

Also very sad to see that five of the six points scorers in that race have died. :( De Angelis was fourth and Bellof sixth, only fifth-placed Mansell is still with us.

Spain 1976 appears to be the last race with no living points scorers. Hunt, Lauda, Nilsson, Reutemann, Amon and Pace were the top six.

The Theodore team had two stints in F1.

The first of which started in 1977, running an Ensign, Patrick Tambay was the driver.

The second started in 1981, this time, running their own car, Patrick Tambay was the driver.

Unique achievement?

As far as I know it is.


Rest in peace Patrick.

A couple Markus Winkelhock stats from his legendary race at the Nürburgring:

1) He led 6 of the 13 laps he completed, a percentage of 46.2%. High indeed.

2) Because of the red flag, he's the only driver in F1 history to start in both first and last position in an F1 race - there was no standing restart in 2007 of course, but he was on the pole position during the red flag before the restart :D

According to the following link:

http://second-a-lap.blogspot.com/2016/0 ... h.html?m=1

David Prophet entered a Surtees TS16 in the 1977 British Grand Prix but did not turn up.

If that is true then if he had turned up, he would be the record holder for the longest period between (World Championship) races entered instead of Jan Lammers, with his previous World Championship appearance being South Africa 1965.

Unique achievement?
March? And I guess officially you could mention manufacturers like Honda, Mercedes and Alfa Romeo, but those really weren't the same teams anymore.

Brabham (the team, not any of the drivers by that name) missed the 1988 season. Technically does that mean Brabham had two different stints?

Onyx had a stint running De Villota's March in 1982 before their full debut in 1989 so that sorta counts, of course there are also the shenanigans of RAM racing, even if they were a privateer for the most part.
Then of course there were Williams and Williams who were different entities, even if they didn't technically skip a year. Cooper was also a bit of an on-and-off-team before they properly got started in the late fifties. And obviously BRM, with their early fifties things, then a break, followed by the owen years, and then stanley skipping 1976 almost completely before one last non-hurray in 1977
I don't know what i want and i want it now!

Forgot about March, though you could say that team had three stints, including the RAM-run effort of the early 80s.
