First of all I am very sorry for the lack of posts on the site recently, as some of you will know my computer and hard drive both failed and it took about a week to recover all of my stat data. Now onto the stats!
There were 19 races on the 2013 calendar and at the halfway point no driver had won two races in a row, after Hungary Vettel won every single race and broke even more records. Vettel became the youngest four time champion in 2014, equalled Michael Schumacher’s record for the most wins in a season and set a new record for the most consecutive wins.
Below is the basic statistics of every driver in 2013, Vettel had the most of everything, 11 more wins than any other driver, seven more podiums, four more pole positions and two more fastest laps.

And now pretty much the same table but for Constructors’ instead of drivers, despite having the second most podiums in 2013 Lotus were only fourth. The battle for second place was close and just six points separated them.

And the last table, the retirements, distance and total laps of every driver. As we all know, Max Chilton finished every single race, but still completed fewer laps than Button, Vettel and Perez because he was regularly at least one lap down on the lead.

Hopefully it won’t be so long until the next post and the 2014 season won’t be dominated by one driver.
