Stats

Taken a little bit longer than usual for the Chinese GP post-race stats, partially due to being at Silverstone for the WEC and partially due to laziness!

Shanghai, the 2014 Chinese GP and the track with the longest straight currently in Formula One. Lewis Hamilton has won the last two GPs, but has never in his career won three in a row.

Bore-rain? Not this time, the Bahrain GP was surprisingly exciting and action packed, especially after the safety car period.

The Bahrain GP, the 900th Formula One World Championship event and the 10th Bahrain GP.

Malaysia was a little bit boring, after the first few laps the podium top three stayed in the same positions for the entire race.

Multi 21 and the most awkward podium in F1 history, last year’s Malaysian GP was an odd one.

Part two of the driver number stats! Part one here. This will finish off the rest of the drivers, from McLaren to Williams.

Now that every driver will have a number for their career, I may as well provide some stats on all being used in 2014, plus the reserve driver numbers I can find.

Uhhh, right, definitely an eventful Australian GP. Four cars didn't even manage five laps, Ricciardo finished an impressive second but was then disqualified after HOURS of waiting.

A new season, a new set of rules, a new start. F1 is back. We have three new drivers, one returning driver and only two teams that have kept the same drivers as last season.
