Stats: Spa bites even the big names
No one has a perfect record at Belgium's epic Spa-Francorchamps track, with even the current crop of Formula 1 champions having mixed success in the Ardennes, as our stats guru MICHELE MERLINO explains
SPA DRIVER STATS
• Sebastian Vettel has finished in each of the three podium spots in Belgium, but only once in each. He won in 2011, was second last year and third in 2009.
In qualifying, he set pole in 2011, but last year failed to make it to Q3 (though a gearbox penalty for team-mate Mark Webber meant he still started 10th).
