A chaotic race at Silverstone has only six finishers, though Verstappen is also classified after a late retirement.

I first saw this thread back in 2012 or something, and it has always interested me. Coming back to it this season is making me chuckle to read over some of the old results.

The most interesting statistic for me, which I never saw anyone comment on, is that Nelson Piquet appears to be the only champion whose championship in this version happened after his real life one. It also seems amazing that in his third year at Red Bull, only now is Max Verstappen looking secure to actually win a championship.

It's the same for me.

This hadn't been updated in several races so I felt I had to keep it up to date – this was back in 2012, it's incredible how time flies. And even now, I can't really say I'm active on the forums anymore but updating this thread is always one of the first things I do after watching each race.

That's fascinating indeed! I also like how Hülkenberg is a champion here, though he doesn't even have a podium in real life.

Verstappen was really unlucky not to win last year – it's incredible how he took 12 wins to Pérez's 4 and still lost to him! If I remember correctly, 12 is actually the record for most wins in a season here (at least Webber has done it before), though Verstappen might have a chance of breaking that record this season.

Jan Magnussen · Post by **Rob Dylan** » 03 Sep 2018, 11:22

Was just talking to a mate about this, and he was suggesting that, as so many of the real world champions were crowned a few seasons early here, it's a good way of seeing who will the near-future champions in real life.

I just really hope Hülkenberg and Pérez get their real-life chances, though I know Räikkönen will be taking up whatever seat they're needing for the next half-decade at least...

Indeed.

It's pretty surprising that Ericsson was ahead a while ago... and he's ahead again after today! Much more surprising than Verstappen already clinching the title (Ocon and Sainz were on the podium but they would have had to beat Verstappen to stay in contention).

He's likely to break the record for most wins in a season too...

Those two must be the pre-season favorites – I think Leclerc will have the upper hand but who knows?

Champion Verstappen takes yet another win in the U.S. By doing so, he matches the record for most wins in a season, held by Barrichello (2000) and Alonso (2005), and looks very likely to break it... Sainz finishes second in the race, but third place is a surprise – Hartley gets his first podium after the disqualifications of Ocon and Magnussen! This leaves Sirotkin as the only driver without a podium this season.

At Baku, Leclerc takes his fourth win out of four races, as well as his third fastest lap of the season. The McLaren duo get the other podium spots, Sainz finishing ahead and finally getting a good result after a difficult start to the season.

It's not really looking like the most exciting season at the moment, especially with closest challenger Gasly failing to finish... But looking at the positives, the fight for second place is extremely tough at the moment! Also worth noting is that Williams has been very consistent, if nothing else.
