Interesting to note that the Reverend is only just a place in front of Kovy's Lotus. Button also seems to benefit quite a bit from losing his non-finishes.

In fact this championship could be so easily lost by Vettel if you just replaced him for a race and his replacement won the race.

I can think of at least one obscure champion from the 60s.

[James1978]

Just though, for the 50s you'll need to ignore the Indy 500 as the winner of that will automatically be champion unless one of the regulars scores nothing but wins.

That is very true

I won't update 2011 until the end of the season, because quite frankly, I can't be bothered. A constructors championship would be too complicated.

Are you thinking about Ludovico Scarfiotti?

I was trying not to give it away

Also I haven't a clue how you'll decide who wins 1982.......

[James1978]

BTW are you also including races where drivers are classified as a finisher but not running at the end?

[FullMetalJack]

Yeah.

BTW, i've done some of 2008, Piquet will finish in about 9th or 10th in the standings, and Sutil finishes last.
