I picked this up from the LinkedIn group, Enthusiasts of Formula 1. Should make every Ferrarista happy.
A friend of mine used to run a March in the 1970s. Interesting to see that March made it as high as 9th.
'Caused me to consider a comparison of my only favoured team, Lotus, to Ferrari for the years 1958-82 the years Colin (I considered him Lotus) was alive. Of course, as we know, so was Enzo. Interestingly, and happily, they tied with 7 WCCs, and 6 WDCs, apiece. Ferrari World Champion (Constructors) in 1961, 1964, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1979, 1982 World Champion (Drivers) in 1958 (Mike HAWTHORN), 1961 (Phil HILL), 1964 (John SURTEES), 1975 (Niki LAUDA), 1977 (Niki LAUDA), 1979 (Jody SCHECKTER) Lotus World Champion (Constructors) in 1963, 1965, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1978 World Champion (Drivers) in 1963 (Jim CLARK), 1965 (Jim CLARK), 1968 (Graham HILL), 1970 (Jochen RINDT), 1972 (Emerson FITTIPALDI), 1978 (Mario ANDRETTI)
Nice graphic, but you know: different points system, more races per season... We shouldn't read too much in that. The only thing that surprised me is that Lotus is still 4th.
It was (supposedly, I shan't take the time to check even one) adjusted to todays point system. Also, very importantly, would be the consideration of how many seasons the constructor participated in. Taking that into consideration, it would be interesting to know the average points earned per season; which again, like you said would still be unfair as there were diff numbers of races per season. Which means, one would have to average points per race.....and so on and so forth....to be truly meaningful.
Alas, the aforementioned variables would make that rather difficult and would be confusing to newbies.
