1978

Jacques Laffite 34 (2 wins, 1 2nd)
Patrick Tambay 30 (2 wins, 2 2nd)
Didier Pironi 28 (1 win, 2 2nd, 1 3rd)
James Hunt 24 (2 wins, 1 3rd)
Emerson Fittipaldi 21 (1 win, 3 3rd)
Clay Regazzoni 20 (1 win, 1 2nd)
Hans-Joachim Stuck 19 (2 wins)
Riccardo Patrese 19 (2 wins)
Mario Andretti 17 (1 win, 1 2nd) (I'm amazed he scored at all here too!)
Alan Jones 17 (2 2nd, 1 3rd)
Brett Lunger 16 (1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Jean-Pierre Jarier 14 (1 win, 1 3rd)
Vittorio Brambilla 12 (1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Jody Scheckter 11 (1 win)
Jochen Mass 11 (2 3rd)
Bruno Giacomelli 11 (1 3rd)
Rene Arnoux 10 (1 3rd)
Gilles Villeneuve 9 (1 2nd)
Rolf Stommelen 8 (2 4th)
Keke Rosberg 7 (1 2nd)
Jean-Pierre Jabouille 7 (1 3rd)
Carlos Reutemann/Derek Daly/Nelson Piquet all 6 (1 2nd)
John Watson 6 (2 4th)
Hector Rebaque 5 (1 4th)
Harald Ertl 4 (1 3rd)
Rupert Keegan/Bobby Rahal both 1 (1 6th)

What looked to be a great fight between the three Frenchmen peters out at the last race - with Laffite out, the door was open for Pironi and Tambay but they were both among the last unlapped runners. Incidentally, Laffite effectively "cheated" to win the title again - in Belgium he crashed on the last lap to be classified as the first lapped runner. If he hadn't done that, Pironi would have been champion, as he would have gained the extra 3 points to beat Tambay!

Stuck and Jarier are the only sort-of obscure winners here - that's probably becuase the field this season had a lot of former/future champions and winners in it!

They only scored points with the car that finished best, I think.

1979

Emerson Fittipaldi 31 (1 win, 2 2nd, 2 3rd)
Jochen Mass 29 (1 win, 1 2nd, 2 3rd)
Jody Scheckter 28 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Nelson Piquet 27 (1 win, 1 2nd, 3 3rd)
John Watson 25 (27) (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Gilles Villeneuve 22 (2 wins, 1 3rd)
Jean-Pierre Jarier 20 (2 wins)
Didier Pironi 19 (2 2nd, 1 3rd)
Rene Arnoux 18 (2 wins)
Elio De Angelis 11 (1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Patrick Tambay 11 (1 4th)
Hans-Joachim Stuck 10 (1 2nd, 1 4th)
Riccardo Patrese 10 (1 2nd, 1 5th)
Niki Lauda/Patrick Depailler/Mario Andretti all 9 (1 win)
Jacky Ickx 9 (1 2nd)
Jan Lammers 9 (2 4th) - unrejectified!
Alan Jones 8 (1 2nd)
Derek Daly 7 (1 3rd)
Jacques Laffite/Geoff Lees both 6 (1 2nd)
Hector Rebaque 6 (1 4th)
Keke Rosberg/James Hunt both 4 (1 3rd)
Clay Regazzoni/Jean-Pierre Jabouille both 4 (1 4th)
Ricardo Zunino 3 (1 4th)
Vittiorio Brambilla 2 (1 5th)
Carlos Reutemann 1 (1 6th)

Another champion wins, though he's driving for an odd team! Indeed that year's real champion Scheckter only misses out by 3 points, that could be the closest the real champion ever comes to winning this. The strange scoring system that year didn't affect things much, only John Watson had to drop a single 5th place.

Emerson Fittipladi 10 (1 3rd)
Bruno Giacomelli/Carlos Reutemann both 9 (1 win)
Ricardo Zunino 9 (2 3rd) - a double podium for another profiled reject!!
Didier Pironi 8 (2 3rd)
Patrick Depailler 3 (1 4th)
Clay Regazzoni/Rupert Keegan/Alan Jones all 2 (1 5th)
Jan Lammers 1 (1 6th)

Yet again a legend of the sport wins the lapped championship which I find staggering! We're back to getting some fairly obscure winners again though in Daly and Rebaque.

Surer wins championship, and Aroows win constructors without winning a race, but it should have been Rosberg's and Williams' - I remember reading at Monza Rosberg was penalised for going outside the track boundaries at the start, and that penatly here cost him the lapped win and dropped him to 3rd, and it also promoted Surer to 2nd.

I'm amazed at how many points Prost and Arnoux get as they were battling for the real championship - especiallly as Piquet and Tambay don't score at all!

Great Britain: De Angelis

Austria: Boutsen
Holland: De Angelis

Europe: Patrese

Well consider me staggered! De Angelis got lapped a lot more than I thought he would due to the dominance of McLaren (who only got one points finish when Prost was delayed in France). Now we're well into the turbo era a lot of "winners" actually ran out of fuel!

SO close to a 4th title for De Angelis in his last full season - he was among the last unlapped runners in a few races (Monaco, Austria, France) too, so what could have been. Boutsen was very steady though.

Austria: Alboreto
Italy: Berger

Please to see Arnoux win this after narrowly missing out on the No Real Champions title. A lot of winners were ones who ran out of fuel again, but it's alarming how often one of the really top drivers that year won races without running out of fuel (ie Mansell in Hungary and Detroit, Piquet in Mexico, Prost at Brands, Senna in Canada etc)

Piquet I believe is the only regular not to score.

Well this one was a surprise! I didn't think the Benettons would finish enough races but when they did they were usually among the first lapped. Senna also does remakably well considering! I always expected Tyrrell to do well in this due to good reliability. And there's a win for Philippe Alliot!!!! :)

France: Berger
Great Britain: Warwick
Germany: Boutsen
Hungary: Gugelmin
Belgium: Cheever
Italy: Nannini
Potrugal: Caffi
Spain: Caffi
Japan: Nakajima
Australia: Boutsen

What was looking a really good fight between the Benettons, Lotuses and Arrows fizzled out in the end as they hardly scored in the last few races - early in the year the McLarens were lapping almost the whole field, but these teams were getting lapped less by the end as they caught up, allowing people like Caffi to win races, and Streiff and Alliot to get podiums. Boutsen was leading going to Australia, he made sure of it by winning there.

BTW 1989 is looking legendary - at half-season a profiled reject leads the points! (I'll post the full thing tomorrow)

Race winners:

Brazil: Palmer
San Marino: Nannini
Monaco: Modena
Mexico: Tarquini (!!!)
USA: Danner (!!!!)
Canada: Arnoux
France: Johansson
Great Britain: Martini (indeed a Minardi 1-2!)
Germany: Patrese
Hungary: Pirro
Belgium: Gugelmin
Italy: Alesi
Portugal: Martini (he got lapped after leading in reality!!)
Spain: Alesi
Japan: Brundle
Australia: Pirro.

Absolutely great season. It was a case of lots of drivers scoring not very often, indeed Martini didn't even score until Silverstone but in the 2nd half of the season his great qualifying form usually kept him ahead of his direct rivals, even though he was still usually lapped by McLaren/Ferrari/Williams in races. Just a shame Minardi couldn't have won the constructors either but Sala wasn't very good in the 2nd car.

The reject who I mentioned who led at mid-season was Grouillard, though he failed to score at all after Silverstone.

And if you're wondering how on earth Senna managed to score, it was Brazil where after his delay he finished 2 laps down, and Canada where he retired in the closing stages but was still classified.

Mexico: Warwick
France: Suzuki
Great Britain: Suzuki
Germany: Capelli
Hungary: Donnelly
Belgium: Capelli
Italy: Nakajima
Portugal: Patrese
Spain: Larini
Japan: Larini
Australia: Patrese

Alesi was almost always near the front of the lapped cars, I think he scored on every occasion he finished, with the exception of his real-life 2nds in Phoenix and Monaco. After Germany Warwick looked to have it sewn up, but a good perfomance in Hungary saw him fail to get lapped (Boutsen winning quite slowly surely contributed) then he finished the season with 5 straight DNFs. Also excellent performances from Caffi and Larini. McLaren and Ferrari fail to score completely, though Williams and Benetton do on their off days. The number of drivers who win twice is quite amazing! :)

I'm probably being paranoid but are people still interested in this? I thought there would have been much bigger reaction to Martini being champion! :)

(Also I've worked out 1991 though can't post it yet, and another total legend of this site wins that as well!!!)

*Half points for Australia

Benetton 51
Jordan 46
Leyton House 44 (4 wins)
Dallara 44 (2 wins)
Minardi 44 (1 win)
Ligier 32
Brabham 31.5

Lotus 14.5
Lola 11
Ferrari 6
Fondmetal 5
Footwork 4 (1 2nd*)
Lamborghini 4 (1 3rd)
AGS 3

Race winners:

USA: Nakajima
Brazil: Moreno
San Marino: Lehto
Monaco: Moreno
Canada: Mansell (oops)
Mexico: De Cesaris
France: Patrese
Great Britain: Senna (oops again)
Germany: Senna (and again)
Hungary: Capelli
Belgium: Pirro
Italy: Morbidelli
Portugal: Gugelmin
Spain: Gugelmin
Japan: Brundle
Australia: Gugelmin

Moreno led this most of the way - he'd got 36 points at the time Benetton fired him (and his replacement got none at all BTW!!) , that still would have been enough to be champion but he added a 4th for Jordan in Portugal and a half-points 3rd for Minardi in Australia. Gugelmin only had 6 points with 4 races left but won 3 of the last 4 races. De Cesaris was robbed of a win by Mansell stopping on the last lap in Canada which would have had him only 2 points behind Moreno (I believe he'd beeen lapped by Mansell but not by Piquet). Senna's 2 wins were due to running out of fuel both times!

And of the top 3 teams, only Berger and Alesi kept clean sheets unlike their highly-rated champion rivals (and Patrese)!

Don't worry, I'm paranoid about nobody posting in my alternative championship either - the car numbers one. But I enjoy doing it so I don't care really (unless someone were to take it down...).

Well he gets the highest total yet but isn't quite as dominant as I thought he'd be!! :)

1992

Michele Alboreto 68 (3 wins, 4 2nd)
Andrea De Cesaris 50 (4 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Erik Comas 28 (3 2nd, 1 3rd)

Race winners:

South Africa: Herbert
Mexico: De Cesaris
Brazil: Schumacher
Spain: Alboreto
San Marino: Alboreto
Monaco: Gachot
Canada: Wendlinger
France: Hakkinen
Great Britain: Alboreto
Germany: Patrese (as he spun out on the last lap)
Hungary: Capelli
Belgium: De Cesaris
Italy: De Cesaris
Portugal: Senna
Japan: De Cesaris
Australia: Alesi

Well Alboreto scored on 12 occasions, but I feel sorry for De Cesaris as 50 points would win this in most other years. Comas looked to also be in with a shout but didn't score at all after Silverstone. Williams were so dominant in some races that there were some very illustrious winners (Schumacher and Senna) who won without any disastrous delays. Van De Poele unrejectifies himself in his 2nd last race, Belgium, and Hill scores in Brabham's last race, Hungary.

Europe: Prost (oops)
San Marino: Brundle
Spain: Patrese

A great year for the "Brundell" Brothers at Ligier - only Andretti getting 2nd on countback stopped them getting a clean sweep. Hill and Schumacher managed to keep clean sheets as did the Tyrrell drivers, but for completely different reasons. :)

Simtek 8 (that's enough to unrejectify them isn't it?)

Race winners:

Brazil: Hill (wow, Schumacher lapped Hill on merit!)
Pacific: Barrichello
San Marino: Katayama (shame it had to be THAT race he won :( )
Monaco: De Cesaris
Spain: Alesi
Canada: Coulthard
France: Frentzen
Great Britain: Coulthard
Germany: Beretta (yay, a win for a reject!)
Hungary: Brundle
Belgium: Blundell
Italy: Coulthard
Portugal: Irvine
Europe: Berger
Japan: Fittipaldi
Australia: Panis

Poor Coulthard - he led due to his three wins and not many drivers consistently scoring, but he wasn't around for the last 3 races to defend his lead! Frentzen won after his 3rd place in Oz, but Alesi would have won if he had beaten Panis - he finished only just behind. It was another year of lots of drivers scoring not very often. Schumacher and Hakkinen kept clean sheets (as did a few other non-regulars such as Larini and Mansell), while at the other end of the scale so did Pacific!

I certainly didn't expect the real winners of the Constructors Championship to also win this one!

It feels surprising that such a thing could happen for several years in a row... From what I read, back then the car's electronic system weren't as reliable and mistakes would happen -the computer would say there was enough fuel to finish on current pace, while it wasn't, and the other way round. I remember reading that, during the 1986 finale at Adelaide, Prost's onboard told him that he would run out of fuel before the end of the race. Prost, who was in the lead and only could become champion if he won, simply ignored it (he couldn't slow down, because Piquet was a few seconds down the road), and he finished without problems.
Go home, Bernie Ecclestone!

BTW, forgot to add for 1994 that Hockenheim had one of the funniest podiums ever - Beretta, Hill and Gounon (he didn't finish but was classified due to only being 5 laps behind Beretta!).

Martin Brundle 11 (1 3rd)
Jean Alesi 10 (1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Pierluigi Martini 9 (1 2nd)
Luca Badoer 9 (1 3rd) - A PODIUM!!!
Aguri Suzuki 7 (1 2nd)
Ukyo Katayama 7 (1 3rd)
Pedro Diniz 7 (1 3rd) - A PODIUM FOR FORTI!!!
Max Papis 4 (1 3rd)
Andrea Montermini 3 (1 4th)
Roberto Moreno 3 (1 4th)
Pedro Lamy 3 (1 3rd)
Domenico Schiattarella/Nigel Mansell/Karl Wendlinger all 1 (1 6th)

Sauber 83
Ligier 58
Jordan 52
McLaren 47
Benetton 46
Ferrari 45
Tyrrell 39
Footwork 33
Minardi 21
Forti 10
Pacific 3
Simtek 1
Williams 0

Race winners:

Brazil: Berger (who needs disqualifications due to illegal fuel?)
Argentina: Herbert
San Marino: Hakkinen
Spain: Irvine
Monaco: Herbert
Canada: Morbidelli
France: Barrichello
Great Britain: Frentzen
Germany: Boullion
Hungary: Berger
Belgium: Boullion
Italy: Salo
Portugal: Frentzen
Europe: Barrichello
Pacific: Berger
Japan: Panis
Australia: Panis

Another back-to-back winner in Frentzen, much more convincing than 1994 - this time is seemed to be far less drivers scoring more regularly. The number of times Herbert got lapped given who he drove for was staggering - especially as his teammate and both Williamses didn't score at all. The races with more "unusual" lapped winners seemed to be the ones where there was an unusual real winner, ie Italy, Canada, and the long laps at Hockenheim and Spa.

Thanks to a big double points score at Spa, Forti win the battle of the three tail-end teams, indeed Forti, Pacific and Simtek remind me of the current HRT, Lotus and Virgin (only I'm not sure in what order!)

And it's three in a row!!

1996

Heinz-Harald Frentzen 50 (4 wins, 2 3rd)
Mika Hakkinen 40 (2 wins, 2 2nd, 2 3rd)
Mika Salo 36 (1 win, 3 2nd, 1 3rd)
Pedro Diniz 33 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Ricardo Rosset 29 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Martin Brundle 28 (1 win, 1 2nd, 3 3rd)
Johnny Herbert 26 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
Olivier Panis 24 (3 2nd)
Pedro Lamy 21 (2 2nd, 1 3rd)
Jos Verstappen 16 (1 win, 1 3rd)
Michael Schumacher 11 (1 win)
Jean Alesi/David Coulthard both 10 (1 win)
Jacques Villeneuve 9 (1 2nd)
Rubens Barrichello 7 (1 3rd)
Giancarlo Fisichella 7 (2 4th)
Ukyo Katayama 7 (1 4th)
Andrea Montermini 6 (1 2nd)
Eddie Irvine 5 (1 4th)
Luca Badoer 2 (1 5th)
Gerhard Berger 1 (1 6th)
Only Damon Hill of the regulars failed to score.


Sauber 76
Ligier 57
McLaren 50
Footwork 45 (I thought they were called Arrows again by 1996)
Tyrrell 43
Jordan 35
Minardi 28
Ferrari 16
Benetton 11
Williams 9
Forti 8

Race winners:

Austrlia: Salo
Brazil: Schumacher (that's Hill's revenge for 1994!)
Argentina: Herbert
Europe: Diniz
San Marino: Alesi
Monaco: Frentzen
Spain: Frentzen
Canada: Hakkinen
France: Coulthard
Great Britain: Brundle
Germany: Frentzen
Hungary: Hakkinen
Belgium: Rosset (LOL)
Italy: Diniz
Portugal: Frentzen
Japan: Verstappen

This was an ODD season - the race winners went from the sublime to the ridiculous, mainly depending on how dominant Williams were (and safety cars). Frentzen was needless to say the most consistent again, some perceived front runners scored better than expected (Hakkinen) and some midfielders I would expect to do well didn't (Barrichello the most obvious example).

In Monaco nobody was running and lapped at the end so I just took who completed most laps there. Lots of races did not have 6 classified lapped runners, indeed in Argntina and Spa, due to safety cars, only 2 cars finished (hence Montermini getting a 2nd, and Rosset/Lamy/nobody was the podium at Spa - reject heaven!)

I gotta nasty feeling though, increased use of safety cars from now on may result in this championship looking rather silly, we shall see (particularly in the seasons where drivers could unlap themselves under SC conditions).

1997

Mika Salo 46 (2 wins, 3 2nd)
Giancarlo Fisichella 33 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd)
David Coulthard 30 (3 wins)
Damon Hill 29 (1 win, 2 2nd)
Gianni Morbidelli 27 (2 wins, 1 3rd)
Jos Verstappen 27 (1 win, 2 3rd)
Eddie Irvine 26 (2 wins, 1 2nd)
Jarno Trulli 26 (2 2nd, 2 3rd) - 16 points and 3 of the podiums were for Minardi
Pedro Diniz 20 (1 win, 1 3rd)
Jean Alesi 18 (1 win, 2 3rd)
Ukyo Katayama 17 (2 2nd)
Jan Magnussen 16 (4 3rd)
Shinji Nakano 14 (1 win, 2 5th)
Tarso Marques 14 (1 3rd, 2 4th)
Nicola Larini/Norberto Fontana both 13 (1 2nd, 1 3rd, 1 4th) - impossible to separate
Gerhard Berger 12 (1 win)
Rubens Barrichello 8 (1 2nd)
Mika Hakkinen 7 (1 2nd)
Johnny Herbert 6 (1 2nd)
Heinz-Harald Frentzen 6 (1 2nd) - what a way to come down from three staright championships!
Olivier Panis 6 (2 4th)
Villeneuve and both Schumachers keep a clean sheet (quite a surprise for Ralf me thinks!)

Tyrrell 73
Sauber 59
Arrows 49
Minardi 47
McLaren 37
Jordan 33
Benetton 30 (2 wins)
Prost 30 (1 win)
Ferrari 26
Stewart 24
Williams 6

Race winners:

Australia: Nakano (on debut - that'll please someone!)
Brazil: Coulthard
Argentina: Salo
San Marino: Alesi
Monaco: Salo (now we now why he never stopped!)
Spain: Verstappen
Canada: Diniz
France: Coulthard
Great Britain: Fisichella
Germany: Hill
Hungary: Irvine
Belgium: Irvine
Italy: Morbidelli
Austria: Berger (how ironic he wins his home race!)
Luxembourg: Morbidelli
Japan: Coulthard
Europe: Fisichella

Given the field was overall close that year, a slow and reliable car was what was needed to win this and the Tyrrell did the trick. It's alarming now well Hill does at this and I really expected Nakano to do really at this - he was often the last unlapped runner. Also quite a few races had the oly scorers being stragglers who had problems but still classified. Drivers like Coulthard and Irvine's scores were when they were punted off on the last lap in France and Hungary for instance! But I always enjoy seeing alternative winners like Diniz, Morbidelli and Verstappen, indeed Nurburgring only Morbidelli and Salo were lapped and finished.

Benetton 62
Sauber 59
Prost 42
Jordan 35
Stewart 33
Minardi 26
McLaren 22
Tyrrell 20
Arrows 17
Ferrari 10

Race winners:

Australia: Frentzen
Brazil: Frentzen
Argentina: Hill
San Marino: Alesi
Spain: Barrichello
Monaco: Villeneuve
Canada: Magnussen (!!!!)
France: Wurz
Great Britain: Wurz
Austria: Herbert
Germany: Trulli (in a Prost - long lap remember!)
Hungary: Hakkinen (when he had car problems)
Belgium: Trulli (long lap and safety car)
Italy: Frentzen
Luxembourg: Villeneuve
Japan: Wurz

Unlike 1997, two teams were further outfront this year, meaning this championship was contested by the upper midfield (Williams, Benetton, Sauber and the likes). The Williams teammates were level on points for the whole of the second half of the season more or less - after Silverstone their only scores were a win apiece but Frentzen was always ahead on countback. Wurz made a great late charge but his downfall was being the last unlapped runner at Nurburgring.Magnuseen is the only really obscure winner in Canada but consider that Nakano in a Minardi finished JUST behind him. :(

And unusually, EVERY participating driver scores!

Race winners:

Australia: Michael Schumacher

France: Badoer
Great Britian: Alesi
Austria: Trulli
Germany: Badoer
Hungary: Trulli
Belgium: Villeneuve
Italy: Panis
Europe: Zonta
Malaysia: Gene
Japan: Alesi

Thanks to a fairly close field and lots of safety cars, this is one of my favourite seasons for this, note all the obscure winners, including LUCA BADOER!!! Indeed Minardi came very close to both championships, if Alesi's engine hadn't gone at the end at Silverstone then Gene would have been champion.

Lots of races had very few lapped finishers or even classified runners, indeed at Melbourne (Schumacher) and Monza (Panis) they were the only lapped cars classified!

I'm staggered how badly Arrows far in comparison to Minardi though.

Jaguar 37
Minardi 36
Prost 35
Jordan 31

Race winners:

Australia: Gene (only two cars classified and lapped)
Brazil: Ralf Schumacher
San marino: Villeneuve
Great Britain: Fisichella
Spain: Salo
Europe: Coulthard (how he got lapped there I'll never know though I guess Barrichello did too so maybe they were just both deadbeat teammates!!)
Monaco: Hakkinen (at least he was delayed!!)
Canada: Button
France: Frentzen
Austria: Villeneuve
Germany: Heidfeld (he didn't finish but everyone actually running was on the lead lap due to all the safety cars)
Hungary: Trulli
Belgium: Zonta
Italy: Salo
USA: Diniz
Japan: Villeneuve
Malaysia: Salo

Second title for Salo, quite comfortable for him too. Heidfeld also does very well considering what car he was driving, I think he should do very well in this championship!! Again I'm really surprised how badly Arrows do - they only just beat McLaren!

Suffice to say if there's anyone you'd expect to win this championship in the 2000s, it's him! :)

Race winners:

Australia: Burti
Malaysia: Trulli
Brazil: Heidfeld
San Marino: Frentzen
Spain: Hakkinen (as he stopped on last lap)
Austria: Verstappen
Monaco: Coulthard
Canada: De La Rosa
Europe: De La Rosa
France: Heidfeld
Great Britain: Raikkonen
Germany: Bernoldi (!)
Hungary: Heidfeld
Belgium: Frentzen
Italy: Alesi ( great way to go out infront of the Tifosi)
USA: Alesi
Japan: Trulli

Very dodgy goings-on here. Alesi was 4 points in front of Heidfeld going to Japan, and Alesi was then knocked out of the race being caught up in Heidfeld's teammate Raikkonen's accident. Suspicious? Jordan did actually have the chance for revenge with Trulli winning the lapped race from Heidfeld but they took the moral high ground, but 2nd seasled the championship for Nick.

Interstingly the McLaren teammates tie with one win and nothing else for the second year running, and the last race on the long Hockenheim provided a great podium - two Arrows and a Minardi! At least we still have Spa for a very long lap!

Sauber are the legends of this championship surely - in their first decade they have had 6 drivers championships and 5 constructors championships! Heidfeld failed to score in only 5 races even though he only managed 1 win, and one of those was Monza when Ferrari were messing about letting people unlap themselves at the end. Villenueve looked like he was running away with it with 31 points after Austria but only scored one more time after that, his win at Silverstone. Toyota also win 3 races in their debut season, and for the third year in succession Mclaren get just two wins though they both went to DC this time - he was lapped on merit at Imola and Hockenheim IIRC which really surprised me ( I don't remember him having any obvious delays), the only other times a driver from the top 3 teams scores in when they had problems.

Glad you like it!

I'm dreading to think how 2003 might turn out, of course points get awarded down to 8th, however the field was quite close that year and only 10 teams competing might make quite a nonsense of that. :)

Race winners:

Australia: Verstappen
Malaysia: Trulli
Brazil: Webber
San Marino: Button
Spain: Ralf Schumacher
Austria: Ralf Schumacher
Monaco: Da Matta
Canada: Webber
Europe: Webber
France: Barrichello
Great Britain: Firman (!!!)
Germany: Panis
Hungary: Trulli (ha, everyone gasped at Schumacher being lapped there, but Trulli was a lap behind his teammate on merit, should have been Reject of the Race if you ask me!!)
Italy: Villeneuve
USA: Montoya
Japan: Ralf Schumacher

Another close one - Da Matta was ahead of Webber in Japan but neither of them ended up lapped. I was sort of hoping Da Matta would win to make an unusual champion but a closely-fought constructors championship between the almightly teams of Jaguar and Toyota is enough to make one's head explode! :)

That man Heidfeld was in contention for a hat-trick until the last couple of races too, shame he ended up last unlapped runner at Indy..

Verstappen gets Minardi's first win under Paul Stoddart in Oz too, shame it wasn't Webber who could have done it the year before mind you.

Also it's amazing how well Ralf Schumacher does given he was in one the best cars of the season, and it's also weird how McLaren failed to get lapped at all while the other three leading teams did it aplenty!

Italy: Massa
China: Webber
Japan: Villeneuve
Brazil: Villeneuve

And it's yet another of each championship for Sauber!! Massa had a great run of 45 points up to Canada and a further couple of wins meant he couldn't be caught. The constructors looks close but Sauber didn't score at all in the last 3 races but Toyota gained 27 points on them to just fall short. Not many obscure winners sadly - only 4 of these wins were by people who haven't won a race in real life. McLaren were also doing scarily well and both drivers were in championship contention until mid-season but their B spec car stopped them getting lapped very much after that. :)

And yes the greatest ever driver was on the podium behind the two McLarens at Indianapolis. ;-)
