6 races in (30%) of the season how are the top 10 getting on compared to last years tally (of all races): <style type="text/css"> table.tableizer-table {border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;} .tableizer-table td {padding: 4px; margin: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc;} .tableizer-table th {background-color: #104E8B; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold;} </style> <table class="tableizer-table"> <tr class="tableizer-firstrow"><th>Driver</th><th>% of 2011</th></tr> <tr><td>Alonso </td><td>29.6%</td></tr> <tr><td>Vettel </td><td>18.6%</td></tr> <tr><td>Webber </td><td>28.3%</td></tr> <tr><td>Ham</td><td>27.8%</td></tr> <tr><td>Ros</td><td>66.3%</td></tr> <tr><td>Ria</td><td>-</td></tr> <tr><td>But</td><td>16.7%</td></tr> <tr><td>Gros </td><td>-</td></tr> <tr><td>Mald</td><td>2900.0%</td></tr> <tr><td>Perez</td><td>157.1%</td></tr></table> The obvious ones down on form being Vettel and Button, but its interesting to see that the other big 5 (Ham, Alo, Web) are almost exactly on course for a similar points tally to last year. Unsurprisingly Maldanodo makes the biggest "improvement" with 2900% of last years total (29pts Vs 1pt) whilst Schumacher makes the biggest "slump" with only 2.6% of last years total. If F1 stays this random state the champion will require somewhere in the region of 250-300pts to win. The big question is will anyone get a run of wins (or podiums) to stretch out a lead?
Slightly different table as I realised there were 19 races and 20 this year so its not really a fair comparison... and since its pointless anyway <style type="text/css"> table.tableizer-table {border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;} .tableizer-table td {padding: 4px; margin: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc;} .tableizer-table th {background-color: #4548D5; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold;} </style> <table class="tableizer-table"> <tr class="tableizer-firstrow"><th>Driver</th><th>7 races into 2011</th><th>7 races into 2012</th><th>Comparison</th></tr> <tr><td>Hamilton</td><td>85</td><td>88</td><td>103.5%</td></tr> <tr><td>Alonso</td><td>69</td><td>86</td><td>124.6%</td></tr> <tr><td>Vettel</td><td>161</td><td>85</td><td>52.8%</td></tr> <tr><td>Webber</td><td>94</td><td>79</td><td>84.0%</td></tr> <tr><td>Rosberg</td><td>26</td><td>67</td><td>257.7%</td></tr> <tr><td>Riakkonen</td><td>-</td><td>55</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>Grosjean</td><td>-</td><td>53</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>Button</td><td>101</td><td>45</td><td>44.6%</td></tr> <tr><td>Perez</td><td>2</td><td>37</td><td>1850.0%</td></tr> <tr><td>Maldonado</td><td>0</td><td>29</td><td>...Infinite %</td></tr></table> The big winners this year being Maldonado who is infinity better, Perez who is 18.5 times better and Rosberg who is 2.6 times better. Obviously these are facts and should be treated as such Button is statistically having a worse season than Vettel but not by much, once again proving that whilst stats can show a lot of things they only tell half the story, that story being Vettel's 2011
Interesting. Certainly this seems a clearer comparison than the earlier post, BLS. However, such a study of statistics tempts one to enquire as to whether you've been overly influenced by a rival site, (run by a pseudo-professional, sabotaging opportunist) which sells itself through presenting, studying, and nth degreeing all sorts of statistics?
