Johnny Claes Award - Ericsson is champion!

[tommykl]

Continuing on the basis of alternate championships, to see who would have been the best in various conditions, I have created the...
Formula One Rejects Mediocrity Awards.
This will give out an award to the driver who spent the most laps in last place over one season (only where lap charts are available). No tiebreakers will be used.

They don't. Data's not available.

Watka, I would do it with length in km, but it would be a bit complicated to do that at such short notice. If you want to have a go that, way http://www.statsf1.com.

How come? Stirling Moss is in 5th place

[tommykl]

How come? Stirling Moss is in 5th place

Beats me...

[Waris]

How come? Stirling Moss is in 5th place

Beats me...

AFAIK, he drove a few races in mediocre machinery before he became competitive.

[Valrys]

How come? Stirling Moss is in 5th place

Beats me...

AFAIK, he drove a few races in mediocre machinery before he became competitive.

Yeah, he spent a year or two struggling with slow and useless British no-hopers before he got himself a Maserati in 1954.

[IdeFan]

Also remember this is an era where there were often very few finishers, so if a mechanical problem relegated a driver to several laps down they would often carry on in the hope of points, in the modern era most drivers would just retire, so you're more likely to see a good driver in last place.
