Re: F2/GP2/F3000 Rejects

Tiago Monteiro is an obscure case. He had one season in F3000 and had a single fifth place.

Which means he is F3000 reject but thanks to Indygate, isn't F1 reject.

Re: Unusual F1 Stats

Zanardi shares the worst points/GP ratio among those who have scored with Olivier Grouillard.

Logan Sargeant would have gone to the top if he had finished the season with no points.

I expect Antonelli to be dominating next year (unless Perez is sacked and replaced by suitable candidate for this)
