   Poor Massa, heading up the also-rans. For the time being.

   I like how the new consistant hamilton has taken the early lead after three third place finishes. I think if he keeps up this consistnacy and maybe gains a few top 1st & 2nd finishes along the way then he could be in with a real shot at the championship.

   I think this graphs would be better if they started with everyone on 0 points after 0 rounds, instead of starting with standings after the first race.

      Races are entities and not intervals hence the presentation.

      It is quite odd having a graph displayed without a zero on the X scale, and it would look better if corrected, however f1fanatic have done a superb job with the stats on this page, so I’m not going to complain.

   Nice graph.
   Lotus improved dramatically in the last 2 races.

   I’d really like to see Hamilton, Button and Di Resta all on the podium together, I hope Di Resta gets webber’s place on red bull next year because let’s face it, driving for force india isn’t helping him, but I doubt that will happen with promising new drivers that are proving themselves this year

      And the fact that Webber has re-signed to drive for Red Bull next year.

   The Williams line is looking very flat. It’s a shame Patrick Head’s no longer around, because someone needs to shout at Maldonado for throwing away a third place (it was more likely his than Hamilton’s)

   On speed alone they should be way more than one point ahead of Force India, but with FI’s recent improvement it should now be a real fight between those two, and maybe Sauber.

    martin whitemarsh…….might now be thinking,of the mistake which he has done by…..giving a contract extension to jenson button…..who is pseudo-talented driver.Instead a contract to kimi could be better for mclaren

       To be fair, when Martin re-signed JB he didn’t know Kimi wanted to return to F1. Had he, I’m sure he wouldv’e given it some thought.

       But, then he would have remembered how old Ron used to get annoyed with Kimi for refusing to attend PR and sponsor events and getting kicked out of strip clubs for being too wasted.

       Kimi was a great Mclaren driver but his personality prevented him from becoming the Mclaren darling they wanted him to be so when he left both he and the team were content with the situation.

    the other day I commented how i think Bruno Senna is better than Pastor for being the one who delivers points more consistently, despite MAL classifying better usually. n now it seems I was right after all, thanks to another Pastor’s typical race crash.

    Cruel irony how Mercedes are in no man’s land again but this time they’ve gone backwards – 5th place! It’s be nice to see where they would be had Schumacher finished his races. Possibly in the Ferrari/Lotus/McLaren tussle.

       Well, its no surprise when the team’s idea of updating the car is taking it back to Brackly and washing it.

       All this nonesense about trying to understand the tyres before bringing updates just wreaks of Mercedes-Benz freezing the R&D budget whilst they decide whether they’re quitting or not now that Bernie has refused to give them a seat on the Board when the floatation takes place.

    If you only select Hulkenberg and Maldonado, the first chart speaks volumes.

       @enigma worse ! Select Senna and Maldonado. The brazilian is just 6 points behind. Unbelievable.

    Very interesting how the constructors’ chart shows that we essentially have two divisions of four teams, followed by Torro Rosso and the other three.

    I get the feeling Mercedes really should have been up with the top four this year – presumably that’s Hamilton’s goal for next year. Sauber have also shown that they’re not far off bridging the gap too – they just need to get both cars running well consistently. Too often one car has done a stellar job while the other is nowhere to be seen.

    With all its faults, Romain might still end up in front of Massa, Perez and Rosberg as best of the rest. Not bad.

    Oh my, Williams is really paying the “pay driver” price. FI are destroying them with what has been for at least the first 10 races an inferior car.

    In the driver’s points graph, tick all the drivers and 2nd,3rd,4th row and Bruno Senna.. And observe Felipe Massa’s graph from the 8th race onwards ..
