Stat Attack: Malaysia (post-race)
Michele Merlino investigates the records and compiles the stats following the Malaysian Grand Prix
Race notes
• Red Bull has now won seven grands prix, five of them one-twos.
• The Malaysian Grand Prix was Sebastian Vettel's first victory starting from outside the front row of the grid.
Qualifying notes
• Red Bull took its third consecutive pole position. It was also the last team to do so, from Turkey to Germany in 2009. The last time a team took four straight poles was at the beginning of 2007, when Ferrari started from the front at the first four races.
• Rosberg claimed his career best qualifying spot in second, and Mercedes' first front row start since the 1955 Italian GP - the last race before it retired from F1.
• Williams got both cars into Q3 for the first time since the 2009 Brazilian GP, which was also held in wet conditions.
