Did Lewis score podiums in the first 8 or first 9 GPs of 2007?

Good spot but I think they classed that one as "from the start of his career" because it was. Also it wouldn't have equaled the top 2 spots stat either because he had 2 wins 4 2nd's and 3 3rd's

After Austria, Williams despite their wastefulness this year had already scored more points in 8 races in 2014 than all 20 races in 2012.

Williams in 2012: 76 points
Williams after 8 races in 2014: 85 points

So if Williams score say, an average of 10-12 points per weekend from now on then:

106 + (9 x 11) + 22 = 227 points under the current system by the end of the year

They've been inconsistent but 2014 has already been a better season than 2012, even without a race win. If only Barrichello was still driving for them!

That's pretty impressive considering that a good chunk of those points are Maldonado's fluke win at Spain. :/

EDIT: If I am not completely mistaken, Maldonado is the only driver in the history of F1 whose one and only career podium is a Win. (Brambilla's win in 76 was in a shortened race, so I am inclined to disqualify it)

If Sutil doesn't stand on the podium in Hockenheim he will break the record for the most F1 starts without a podium, breaking Pierluigi Martini's 19-year record. And of course with more luck Adrian should have at least 2 or 3 podiums to his name by now instead of 0, much like fellow German Hulkenberg. Hulk is already 11th on this list and if he were to stand on the podium next week he would be equal 5th on the list of most F1 starts before a first podium, joining drivers such as Herbert, Brundle and of course, Jenson Button.

In fact, Maldonado and Gethin would be rejects if their wins were erased. I've been thinking of doing a piece on Peter Gethin for the site, but just need to find the time :x

It would be even more unusual if -as it is rumoured- he finally doesn't take part at all in the race, since if I've understood it correctly, there would be a tie between Sutil and Martini and I can't see Sutil coming back.

So, despite on the surface this seasons seemingly being a boring one team two horse race... in reality if you remove the outlier (Mercs) this is a PRETTY closely fought season. If you remove Mercs from the results, this is what the season would look like thus far:
Ricciardo 0 0 18 18 25 25 25 8 18 12 = 149
Alonso 15 18 6 25 12 18 10 15 10 15 = 144
Bottas 12 8 8 10 15 0 8 25 25 25 = 136
Vettel 0 25 12 15 18 0 25 0 12 18 = 125
Hulkenberg15 15 15 12 4 15 12 6 6 10 = 110
Button 18 12 0 2 2 12 15 2 15 8 = 86
Magnussen 25 6 0 0 1 4 4 10 8 6 = 64
Perez 1 0 25 6 6 0 1 12 1 4 = 56
Massa 0 10 10 0 0 10 0 18 0 0 = 48
Räikkönen 8 1 4 10 1 2 4 0 2 = 32

(note both Ricciardo and Bottas with 3 wins in a row, Alonso with 1, Vettel with one, MAGNUSSEN with 1 and PEREZ with 1...)

On the constructors side, Reb Bull would be dominating by virtue of being the only team with TWO consistent drivers.

Red Bull = 274
Williams = 184
Ferrari = 176
Force India = 166
McLaren = 150

But yeah. Take Mercs away and we'd have a 4 way title battle between two youngsters and two former champions.

If the championship were to stay as it were, the stats would be pretty damning for Vettel:

- A 6th place finish in the championship would be the worst title defence since Damon Hill in 1997 (finished 12th)
- The first time since 1998 (Villeneuve) that the reigning world champion his failed to win a race in the following season (Schumacher got damn lucky in 2005 though)

And my favourite one since its so petty - Vettel would be the first German driver to have won 4 titles in a row and fail to make it 5 in a row.

However, it is actually fairly common for a reigning world champion to have been beaten by his teammate in the following season, it has happened to Button (Hamilton), Alonso (Hamilton again) and Raikkonen (Massa) in recent years.

Add Raikkonen to that list too, if Luca di Montezemolo is to be believed...

It's a little oddity in fact, that while Massa has been around in F1 long enough to have overlapped careers with Jos, they never raced against each other. Jos missed Massa's debut year in 2002 and Felipe missed Jos' final season in 2003!

Assuming he qualifies André Lotterer will be the first driver to start a Grand Prix and Le Mans in the same year since Sébastien Bourdais in 2009 and the first to start a Grand Prix and win Le Mans in the same year since Yannick Dalmas in 1994. The last driver to win a Grand Prix and Le Mans in the same year was Jacky Ickx in 1969. Finally, the last driver to win Le Mans and the World Championship in the same year was Phil Hill in 1961.

Fun fact: Every drivers championship between Piquet 1983 and Button 2009 was won by one of the "Big Four". (Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, Team Enstone)
Unless Bottas can pull a miracle out of his ass, this year will add the 6th consecutive drivers title won by a team outside the big four. The only dry spell longer than that for the big four was 9 years between John Surtees in 1964 for Ferrari and Emerson Fittipaldi in 1974 for McLaren. Incredible, considering that Williams came to be in 1978 and Team Enstone in 1981

At least Hill had a 2nd place as best result. Vettel best result is a 3rd place (two times). So, worst "best result" for a reigning champion since Villeneuve in 1998 season (third place too).

If the standings stay as they are I'm pretty sure that Vettel will be the first defending world champion to fail to win a race in the same year that his teammate did since Ascari's retirement/3 teams filled 1954 season.

EDIT: Actually on top of this, I think that this last race marks the first time that Williams have been in the top 3 in the Constructors since the 2008 Australian Grand Prix.

Since the Monaco last year there has been a duopoly in F1, with the only winning teams being Red Bull and Mercedes. With Hamilton winning Singapore from the RBRs the streak has extended to an almost unbearable 28 races!

In recent years there been loads of other duopolies.

Ferrari & McLaren - Japan 1987 to USA 1989 - 23 races
Williams & McLaren - Mexico 1991 to Hungary 1992 - 22 races
Williams & McLaren - Italy 1992 to Italy 1993 - 17 races
McLaren & Ferrari - Malaysia 1999 to Brazil 2001 - 22 races
McLaren & Ferrari - Brazil 2002 to Malaysia 2003 - 17 races
Renault & Ferrari - Hungary 2003 to Hungary 2004 - 17 races
Ferrari & McLaren - Brazil 2006 to Monaco 2008 - 24 races

But none as long as this ongoing one... :x

Though, had it not been for Michael Schumacher at Spa in 1992... Red Bull and Mercedes would have some way to go between them yet.
