Stats: Ferrari's comeback kings

It used to be said that the front row was essential at Barcelona, but Ferrari disproved that on Sunday. Michele Merlino digs up all the statistical milestones from Spain

ALL-TIME RECORDS

The Spanish Grand Prix featured three major milestones:

1) Sebastian Vettel ran his 56th straight race without retiring as a result of an accident, equalling Nick Heidfeld's record, set between the 2006 French GP and the 2009 Italian GP. The last time Vettel crashed out of a race was when he clashed with his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber in Turkey three years ago.

2) Kimi Raikkonen saw the chequered flag for the 33rd time in a row, equalling Heidfeld's tally (2007 Chinese GP to Italy 2009).
