Can you update that and stick Jenson in it? And you should remove him form the "highest number of races without a victory" table too.

I'll update all the stats at the end of the season, including this one.

Im real patriot so i must ask ;)
How does statistic: lowest number of races until podium look like ?:)

Here you go, Kubica fan :)

Nice work, where did you find all this info?

I wrote a program that reads the results pages from the Official F1 Website, stores the information contained within those pages to my hard drive and then reads the information from the stored files and gets whatever relevant data I want from them. There are over 3000 lines of code in the whole project, including comments (though I didn't write all of it specifically for this application).
 
Thank you amp88 :)

You're welcome :)

One new one, the highest percentage of finishes in a single season (at least 3 race starts in the season, ordered first by percentage of finishes then by number of race starts then by name).

Another two. Firstly, highest points per season (ordered first by number of points then by average points per start).

Secondly, highest average points per start per season (at least 3 race starts in the season, ordered first by average points per start then by number of points).

edit: The points system in F1 has changed a lot over the years, so below I've calculated a "standardised" version of the above statistics. I've taken the current points system (10 points for 1st place, 8 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd, 5 for 4th, 4 for 5th, 3 for 6th, 2 for 7th and 1 for 8th) and applied it to all races.

One more. A bit of explanation is needed for this one. This is a measure of the number of times drivers have outqualified or been outqualified by their teammates. As most of you know and some of you probably don't, constructors are only allowed to enter two cars currently in any race. However, in the past it was common to see a team fielding 4 or 5 cars or even more. Thus, in this stat, if a team runs 4 cars it's possible for one of their drivers to outqualify 3 people in one event. I've arbitrarily chosen the 1952 Belgian Grand Prix as an example. Here the Ferrari driver Charles de Tornaco qualified in 13th place. The other Ferraris qualified in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 17th. Hence, Charles de Tornaco was outqualified by 3 people and himself outqualified one person. This is the reason some of the totals for drivers from the past are so huge even though they may not have competed in a huge number of Grands Prix. Sadly, I haven't been able to make a distinction between drivers driving the same cars and being teammates (in the case of wealthy privateers buying a Ferrari or Maserati and racing it against the works team), as there isn't really a way to do this with the data given. Any drivers who drive for the same Team are considered teammates.

Sorry for the lengthy column names (couldn't think of anything better). The sum of the number of times to have outqualified and the number of times to have been outqualified is at least 10, data is ordered first by percentage of times to have outqualified then by number of times to outqualify.

Code:
Jacques Villeneuve	4

Jacques finished 2nd in his first grand prix. It took him 4 races to get his first win.

Edit:

Also in your standardized points per race graph, you have Michael Schumacher getting 103 points in 2003, Kimi Räikkönen getting 96 points and Juan Pablo Montoya getting 90 points. The current point system was already in use back then so their points should be 93,91 and 82.
 
Jacques finished 2nd in his first grand prix. It took him 4 races to get his first win.

The reason that stat is slightly messed up is that there have been two F1 drivers called Jacques Villeneuve and I forgot to correct it to take this into account. I'll change it now, thanks for pointing it out.
 
Miko Kozarowitzky never actually started the 1977 Swedish GP (the one race he took part in); I think he was a DNQ. So whether he was a good qualifyer or not is kind of a moot point. Maybe there should be a requirement for hte number of race attempts.

All it really says is how bad their teammates were; Schumacher rarely had a teammate of his own caliber, save the 1991 through 1993 seasons. Although, he did blow Martin Brundle and Riccardo Patrese into the weeds.
 
Dude, sorry to bump your thread, but I think those links are broken.
