Stats

First of all, sorry for the site downtime, was something out of my control but it doesn't matter now as WE'RE BACK! And with a new post! I had this thought a while ago and completely forgot about it until just now, what would the 2012 F1 season have been like if every single driver had finished every race exactly where they started? The answer, boring! But I went and found out anyway, with some quite interesting results.

On the Finnish Independence Day I wrote about the Finns of F1, today (26th January, in Australia at least) it's Australia Day, so I guess it's time to do the same for them! In total 17 Australians have entered F1, with 14 of them starting at least one Grand Prix and just three winning a Grand Prix. As there are quite a few more Australians than Finns I will miss quite a few out.

I said last time that Red Bull would be the last teammate head to head, I slightly lied. THIS will be the last one, maybe... Anyway, Timo Glock, he's left Marussia but just how well has he been doing in F1? In his six seasons of F1 he's only finished ahead of his teammate in the Drivers' Championship just once.

At last, the end of the teammate head to heads, which is of course Red Bull, triple champion Vettel and Aussie Mark Webber. Much like at Ferrari the two drivers haven't been particularly close, Webber was over 100 points down on Vettel in 2012.

Almost at the end of the teammate head to heads, only Red Bull to go after this one. They are the oldest team on the grid and the only team to have competed in each F1 season, but the teammate head to heads at Ferrari haven't exactly been particularly close recently, but hopefully still worth a read.

The McLaren teammate head to heads, probably the one most of you have been looking forward to most, definitely the one I've been looking forward to writing. Who has had the better season? Or been better over all three seasons as teammates? Hamilton is easily the better qualifier but what about in the races?

Happy New Year! Decided I've have a go at something a bit different, so I made an F1 stat infographic. Always loved them but doing one yourself is a lot harder, hope you all enjoy it.

Lotus! The black and gold team once known as Toleman, who competed in the 80s with a black and gold team named Lotus. But on a more serious note, Lotus were the only team that used three drivers all season and only did so because of Grosjean's ban following the Belgian Grand Prix. They finished 4th in the Constructors' with over twice the points of Mercedes in 5th but still some way from McLaren.

You asked the questions and I answered them! Sixteen questions from thirteen people, some of which were very easy to answer and some incredibly hard. The questions are a bit of a mix of everything F1, from tarmac area and driver birthdays to the number of wins by turbo engines and the circuit with the most retirements.

Have a think to yourself, what F1 stat (or any random question if you like) would you want to know, simply tweet or comment below. I'll try to answer as much as I can before Christmas, F1 stat or not. Get thinking!
