Wet Weather World Championship
Wet Weather World Championship
A quick and easy Alternate Championship in which only wet results are included. For the purposes of the Championship, any race which featured a wet race track at any point counts as a "wet race". My heartfelt thanks to F1 Metrics for an incredible effort listing absolutely every wet race from 1950 until 2014.
Points systems will match their real life equivalents. Also, as this won't be very interesting I'll probably group the seasons by decade or something to get them done a bit more quickly.

1951
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1952
The first season where it's been worth pointing out anything of note - namely, look how much of a machine Alberto Ascari was in the wet.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1953
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1954
At last a proper Championship battle! This one goes all the way down to the final lap of the Swiss Grand Prix as Gonzalez would have won the Championship had he, as they say sixty years later, "gone purple".
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1955
Another tight Championship: Fangio pipped Moss to this one by just 0.3 seconds on the finish line.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1956
Another close one: both Collins and Moss managed a solo win and a shared podium position, but while Collins' finishing positions were better, Moss collected a brace of fastest laps. Also, the real Champion (Fangio) finished below Ron Flockhart in my Championship.

1963
What a close season - three drivers tied on points: Graham Hill, Dan Gurney and Jim Clark. Hill had not won a race, so he was relegated to third overall. Gurney and Clark were far harder to split thanks to their ideal race records. In the end, it was a fast lap of Zandvoort by Clark that made the difference.

1968
After two races, Ickx had closed to within a single point of Stewart, only for the Scotsman to be entirely peerless at the Green Hell, where he built up a four-minute lead over any other car. Also, I think a record number of points scorers?

1971
Only a certain kind of season can finish with three drivers level on points. Commiserations to Stewart and Peterson though.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1972
Jacky Ickx only led the Championship at one point this season, and that was when he rolled past the chequered flag at Watkins Glen. He was the only driver with three points finishes.

1975
Although it makes complete sense for such a short Championship to go down to the last race, this one was particularly cruel. James Hunt looked to have won it in his Hesketh thanks to a second-place at the Osterreichring, only to find that the half-points rule had caused him to drop half a point behind Niki Lauda's Ferrari.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1978
It's not related to anything in particular, but Vittorio Brambilla really was a wet-weather machine. He managed 9.5 points (including a victory) from sixteen wet-weather starts. In dry weather, he only managed six points from 58 starts.

1981
This year was a long and soggy season, which built towards a thrilling climax in Canada. After five Grands Prix, there was a tie at the top thanks to both Carlos Reutemann and Nelson Piquet having accumulated two wins and a third place. Prost was also in with an outside chance of the title on fifteen points. Living up to their Championship positions, Piquet and Reutemann locked out the front row, but a collision between Reutemann and teammate Jones relegated him out of contention. A few laps later, Jones spun, forcing Piquet of the track as Prost climbed into the lead. Prost slipped back though, and crashed out trying to pick up the pace, while Piquet's recovery drive bagged him a vital two points.

Had the race not been prematurely halted, this could have been Senna's, and Toleman's, season.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1985
Some context: Ayrton Senna's wet-weather career is only three Grands Prix old. His results: 2nd, 1st, 1st.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1988
7 Grands Prix, 6 wins, 7 podiums, 3 Championships. This is getting ridiculous. Also, Senna just won a three-race Championship with a race to spare.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1989
In Montreal, Senna experienced his first non-podium. It occurred because his engine failed three laps from the end, a point at which Senna had been leading the Grand Prix.

Re: Wet Weather World Championship
Interestingly Prost only wins one champioship and arguably doesn't even deserve the one he got. Was he that bad on rain or just unlucky?

I'm not sure it was a case of Prost being poor so much as being very precise and analytical. Wet races occurred maybe twice a season back then? Why risk life and limb trying to beat Senna in one when you could out-race and out-strategise him on dry days.
Senna meanwhile was better at driving on the ragged edge. He was a qualifying specialist, a wet-weather specialist - both of them times when the margin for error was far smaller than usual. Compare that to the long-game of a 70-lap Grand Prix around a dry circuit, where there's more margin for error and therefore less of a challenge for Senna, and therefore didn't bring the best out of him. In dry conditions he was still very good, but he wasn't the same wet-weather superhuman.
He won two-thirds of wet Grands Prix he started, compared to roughly one-in-five dry Grands Prix. He also managed pole in two-fifths of all his attempts.
Of course my explanations for these numbers are based on guesswork and speculation, but it's my best guess as to why two such evenly matched drivers should have performed so differently in these kind of conditions.
Re: Wet Weather World Championship
Of the races, I think 1993 is missing San Marino Grand Prix. Drivers started on wets and changed to slicks around lap 10. Definitely more deserving of wet race than 1995 France, 1998 Argentina, 2000 Japan, 2004 Malaysia or 2008 France.
Oh, and 2008 Britain is missing, while I think Hungary shouldn't be in the list.

Fair points; I was just going off the list put together by the website linked in the first post. I'm also considering 1950 Monaco - no rain, but one huge wave that took out half the field or something.
Re: Wet Weather World Championship
Whoever compiled the wet-weather list I think must have misprinted Hungary 2008 for Britain! Hungary was sunny the whole time!
Also shouldn't Monaco 1982 be in there as it rained towards the end (meaning Patrese would be that year's champion) - although admittedly I don't think anyone used wet tyres.
