Stats: Hamilton and Vettel trade blows
Lewis Hamilton may have surrendered ground to Sebastian Vettel in terms of points, but he's matching the German blow for blow in the statistics department, as our guru MICHELE MERLINO explains
Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton are racking up the statistics together.
For the third time in a row, these two drivers started in front of everyone else and in the same grid positions. Curiously, the last string of three identical front rows, in 2011, also featured these two drivers, but with their positions inverted, at the Hungarian, Belgian and Italian Grands Prix.
It's the 19th time that Hamilton and Vettel have shared the front row, with only Vettel and team-mate Mark Webber achieving the same number of front rows together among the current drivers.
