The statistical review of F1 2010
Michele Merlino rounds up all the notable stats from a thrilling 2010 Formula 1 season
DRIVERS
• Jenson Button had to relinquish his crown, but nevertheless he posted his second-best season for wins (two), while he recorded his third-best in terms of championship position, fifth, after the title he won last year and the third place earned in 2004 behind the Ferraris.
The main thing lacking in Button's season was speed in qualifying: only one front row, at Monza, beaten 13 times by team-mate Lewis Hamilton. He hasn't been on pole since the 2009 Monaco Grand Prix.
