If the Feist song is an omen could we be looking at someone else to break there duck before the end of the season?.After looking at your table you got my Statistics taste buds going,after consulting my analogue computer(my trusty but very out of date Encylopedia),out of the 573 drivers who raced up till the end of the 97 season(I did say it was very old!) only 313 have scored 10 or more points,I didnt remove the Indy 500 racers because it looked like hard work,but you can see that roughly half of all F1 drivers will never get the the points tally of a win,let alone a win in there entire careers.So whether its a sign of the difference between the sharp and blunt ends of the grid,or that youve either got it or you aint Iam not to sure.But I like to think its the latter.

Mika isn’t in the table – 1997 I think?
Also, Damon – 1993?

Damnit! Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll add them in just a jiffy.

Love the table – it was cool having three maiden winners on the podium on Sunday. Re-awakened my faith in F1

Good work though, thanks

there must be some twisted people writing for sesame street!

It’s a great song though

I weirdly happened to be listening to the album at the time I was reading this post.

Also maybe this post should be brought to you in association with this Feist song…

has there ever been a time when x3 new winners, all shared a podium together in that same year

I don’t know, but I did wonder the same when I chose the image for the post – it did add a nice bit of symmetry to the day. Maybe I’ll look into that tomorrow.

I did genuinely love it though

I know, I’m just jesting!

excellent research. one further question for you then…

has there ever been a time when x3 new winners, all shared a podium together in that same year (other than in the picture above)?

You spend an hour-and-a-half doing something and all they do is point out a typo…! Ollie’s mind joking.

Whoops, didn’t bother proof-reading. Just checked the table, then left it. Correcting now by going back to the future…

Cool thanks Ollie!

And I love this phrase: “1975 was the previous next landmark season”
