Statistics
Tobi Kederer finished 14 out of 22 races on the podium, including 8 in a row from Hungary. M
oanilos Ancevski and Aidan Keranen both shared 7 podiums, together equaling Kederer's total. Buurlage and Utzer shared 5 each, while Noack and Black had 4. A further 10 drivers scored a podium too. In fact, only 5 drivers failed to score a podium: Macdonald, Rizki, Diehl, Death and Diaconescu.
Kederer had an impressive 9 wins, Buurlage scored 4 wins, Utzer got 3 (all in a row, turning his season upside-down), while Noack and Ancevski scored 2 each, and Chant and Keranen had one win.
6 Drivers scored fastest laps. Milos Ancevski and Ben Utzer were the only drivers to score multiples. 6 drivers also scored Pole Positions, with Ancevski and Kederer being the multiples.
Only 3 drivers scored the perfect race. Ben Utzer got Pole, Fastest Lap and Victory at SIlverstone; Milos Ancevski at Le Mans and Tobi Kederer at Monza.
5 out of 9 Pole positions were converted to wins. 2 more poles became second place, while the other two saw massive drops. In Monaco, Pole became 13th for Andrea Dovizioso, while Rami Saidy took a penalty in Canada and dropped to 9th.
6 Fastest Laps went to the winners. 2 of the others went to second place, while Milos Ancevski's 8th place in Monaco gave him the Fastest Lap.
If Tobi Kederer was a constructor, he would have finished 4th.
We had an RDFR record high amount of finishers at a few races. 20 drivers finished that races in: France, the USA and the Netherlands. Brazil was the season's lowest at 15.
The amount of points scored by Andrea Dovizioso was the gap between first and second (162)
McLaren and Genii both scored the same amount of points, but Keranen's win at Zandvoort gave them fifth in the championship.
Races were not started at 03:00 and 05:00 GMT. The day with 4 races was Thursday.
The test championship wasn't too far off the actual championship.
Apex and Ferrari swapped for the real championship, while BMW Grip moved down 2 spots.
So enough of me jabbering on, lets break out some more images.
Andy Black and Omer Said really showed their prowess in Sprint Races, placing themselves quite high. Online Martini Racing turned out to be pretty bad at Sprint races, seeing as they were 3 spots lower than their eventual Constructors position.
In the Non-Sprint races, Ancevski and the OMR's were looking good. This was about the only thing Rami Saidy beat Xen Foro in, seeing as the German missed 4 out of 9 of them. James Chant performed well though, opposing Omer Said, who really struggled in the long races.
Here's some race-by-race graphs for the drivers and constructors championships.
You can clearly see when Kederer decided to leave everyone for dust, after round 10. Old Wolf had a nice resurgence in the last 2 races, while Ancevski's late push almost worked. It also shows the sheer closeness of 6th to 17th, separated by 100 points. Ben Utzer's round 5-8 makes for interesting looking too.
Josh Noack's early season brilliance helped Benetton stay in first for the whole season. The rest of the teams had some great scraps though.
Now, the more observant of you may have noticed that the last sentence of every race is GOGOGO post was a (usually terrible) pun based on either the country or track name. Here is a list of them all.
So that's it. It has been a great season guys. I will get the Season 23 thread up sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening. I hope you enjoyed this statistical breakdown.
