First win for a Mexican driver since June 7 1970, Pedro Rodriguez,
BRM P153, Belgian GP - 50 years plus 6 months.

First win for Jordan/Force India/Racing Point (the Silverstone team)
since April 6 2003, Giancarlo Fisichella, Jordan EJ13, Brazilian GP -
17 yrs, 8 months.

Fisi's win in Brazil was the last win for car #11 before yesterday.

I heard someone say that Pedro's win was the last time the Mexican
National Anthem had been played in F1, but I doubt that it was played
at Spa in 1970. Bear in mind there was no elaborate podium ceremony
and at many races the winner only received a garland of laurel leaves,
and perhaps a bouquet of flowers.

How about how many F1 races have been held in December, in the northern hemisphere?

That was only the fifth anywhere, next week will be the sixth.

USA 1959 Sebring, FL Dec 12
RSA 1962 East London Dec 29
RSA 1963 " Dec 28
Abd 2019 Yas Marina Dec 01
Sak 2020 Bahrain Dec 06

So two in southern hemisphere, 3 in the northern.


Another trivia stat - at 87 laps the Sakhir GP had the most laps in a GP
since Jan 28 1973, the Argentine GP at the 3.345km Buenos Aires circuit
(a short circuit only used in 1972-73).

The most laps in a GP was 110 at the US GP at Watkins Glen 1963-65 (the
11 Indy 500s were, of course run over 200 laps (the 1950 event was
stopped by rain after 138 laps).
