2018 Chinese GP Pre-Race Stats

Sebastian Vettel has won the first two races of the season, but can he make it three in a row with a win at the Chinese GP?

Track Stats:

5.451km long lap

56 lap race

305.256km race distance – second shortest after Monaco

14 previous races

9 wins from pole (64.29%)

10 wins from the front row (71.43%)

8 different winners

5 wins from Mercedes

5 wins from Hamilton

Joint longest current calendar straight at 1200m

Driver/Team Stats:

100^th race start for Bottas (assuming he does)

Vettel could win his 50^th race

Mercedes win would be 100^th for Brackley based teams (Tyrrell, Honda, Brawn and Mercedes wins combined)

Silly Stats:

There are over 1.3 billion people in China, if you gave every single person in China an F1 car (because why not) the train of cars would stretch 7,158,683.5 kilometres or 4,448,200 miles.

The giant panda has a top speed of around 32kph or 20mph, which means that it would take 10:13.237 to complete a lap of the Chinese GP staying at that speed.
