The Chinese GP stats are a little later than planned, and it’s 4am on Saturday morning during FP3, so hopefully nothing is majorly wrong…
Track Stats:
5.451km long lap
56 lap race
305.256km race distance – second shortest after Monaco
15 previous races
9 wins from pole (60.00%)
10 wins from the front row (66.67%)
9 different winners
5 wins from Mercedes
4 wins from Ferrari
5 wins from Hamilton
Driver/Team Stats:
1000th World Championship GP
250th GP for Toro Rosso
A win for Hamilton would be his 75th
A fastest lap for Ferrari would be their 250th
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.
