From the second row Webber starts in six races, first time in 2004 Malaysia F1, a race which he will not finish. The other F1 starts from 2nd place are : 2005 Catalunya, 2006 Monte Carlo, 2008 Silverstone, 2009 Interlagos and 2010 Melbourne

In 142 F1 races before Malaysia 2001 race, Mark Webber finish on the same place as at start in 14 races. From this we can mention the 2009 Nurburgring race where he won the race and other two races where he start and finish on 3rd place : 2005 Monte Carlo and 2009 Hungaroring.

In 59 races he finish the race better from the place he starts, but finished only in 56 of  them.  He did not finish the 2002 Sepang, Hockenheim and Monza race.  Best jump from the start to finish was at his first Formula1 race at 2002 Melbourne GP when he start the race from position 18 and finished it on 5. That race was won by Schumacher, but the happiest man was of course Mark Webber. There are other 3 races when he jump 10 positions from start at 2003 A1 Ring from 17 to 7, 2002 Montreal from 21 to 11 and at 2002 Magny-Cours from 18 to 8

Robert Kubica finished second in 2010 Melbourne GP. This was race nr 4 for him in Australia, this was the first time when we succeed to finish the race and of course to get points. This was the worst start position(9) at Melbourne, 2009 4, 2008 2 and in 2007 from 5. After two races in 2010 Kubica have the best jump from the start position with 7 positions. There are three drivers who jump 6 places, two at Melbourne, Alguersuari from 17 to 11 and Liuzii from 13 to 7. The third driver is Kovalainen who start at Bahrain from 21 and finished the race at 15th place

The 2010 Melbourne winner, Jenson Button, know this track since he participate in 11 races at Melbourne. This was the second victory after last year success when he finish and start the race on first place. Button had in 2006 a pole position here but he finished the race on position 10. In 2004 he finished on position 6.

In 6 races he drive for Benetton with 2 victories, 3 pole positions, 3 fastes laps and in all races got points. Five races were at Caralunya and one at Jerez. With Ferrari Schumacher had 12 races with 5 victories, 5 pole positins, 5 fastes laps and only in two races did not received points.

In four races he had victory, pole position and fastest lap, first time with Benetton in 1994 at Jerez followed by other 3 while Schumacher was at Ferrari in 2001, 2002 and 2004 all at Catalunya.

First race for Michael Schumacher in Spain was back in 1991 at Catalunya, he start from position 5 and finish on 6. Last race was in 2006 with Ferrari when he starts from 3rd place and finish on second.

Perhaps the worst race (when he finished the race) was on 2000 when Schumacher had the pole position but he finished just n place 5. The best perhaps was in season 1996 when he was 3rd on grid and won the race, but also next season in 1997 when he start from position 7 and finish on 4.

Michael Schumacher past F1 races in Spain :

First task in this weekend for each driver will be the fight for a good place on the grid. Only Hamilton have 2 pole positions at Hungaroring, and one for Barrichello, Raikkonen and Alonso.

Last task is a great position at the end of the race, if posibile on the podium. Kimi Raikkonen have already 4 podiums, Barrichello 3, Heidfeld and Alonso 2 and one for Button, Kovalainen, Hamilton and Glock.

Raikkonen and Barrichello have most points, 35 followed by Alonso with 26.

If we take a look at all time F1 races at Hungaroring, again, Michael Schumacher will rule all the tops.  Just at podiums he is a little behind Senna, both had 7 podiums, the only difference is that Senna in 8 races (87%) while Schumacher from 14 (50%). In all tops Senna is with Schumacher except at fastest laps.  Senna in 8 races have 3 victories, 3 pole positions, 7 podiums, in 7 races finish in points with a total of 53 points, but he never had the fastest lap on Hungaroring.

That was the only race where Sebastien Vettel was ever on pole, and the only race he finished on podium.

Vettel participate in 28 F1 races and finish the race in 18 of them. In 6 races he finish the race in a position bellow from the start.

This season Vettel almost won his second podium, but he had a collision with Kubica at Melbourne. Looks like there are big chances for a podium in 2009 China F1 race for Vettel.

Again Schumacher is the “king” here we have five pole positions. He had the first four pole positions. The other three drivers with pole here will be present in this year Malaysian F1 race : Alonso and Mass twice and one for Fisichella.

Michael Schumacher won the first four pole positions at Sepang, and Felipe Massa the last two. Meanwhile Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella had pole position here.

The fastest lap was set in 2004 by Juan Pablo Montoya. In the past races here no one had pole, victory and fastest lap in the same race.

Most experienced driver at Sepang are Trulii, Fisichella and Barichello, all with 10 races. Only Buemi will debut on this track, this will be the second race for him.

Four drivers did not finish the race when started from pole, two of them were involved in a collision in the first lap of the race.  The drivers who finished the race from pole position got points except the 2006 season.

Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen have most poles at Melbourne, both with 3. Jacques Villneuve got the pole position in first and second race here.

Williams got the pole position at first and second race at Melbourne. After it there are three seasons with McLaren pole position, followed by four with Ferrari. In the last four seasons there is a mix of Renault, Honda, Ferrari and McLaren.

Only four drivers have a win at Melbourne : Hamilton, Raikkonen, Alonso and Fisichella. At pole position we have five drivers, all with only one : Hamilton, Raikkonen, Fisichella, Buton and Barrichello. At fastest lap we have Raikkonen with four fastest laps, and 3 drivers with one Kovalainen, Alonso and Barrichello.

Top points gathered at Melbourne : Alonso 37, Raikkonen 31 and Barrichello 30. Those three drivers are in the top of most podiums, all of them in 4 occasions, they finished in points with six occasions, except Raikkonen who finished in points in seven races here.

This year, in case of a victory at Melbourne for Barrichello or Hamilton can be the 10th victory in a Formula1 race.
