Post-GP Stats Analysis: Bahrain
Michele Merlino analyses the results and stats from round three of the championship, and highlights the movements on the all-time record tables
The obvious joke
A Pole on pole. We have waited 25 races to say that, and finally Robert Kubica was able to conquer his first Formula One pole position - and the first one for Poland and BMW Sauber.
At the age of 23 years, 3 months and 30 days, Kubica is the fifth youngest in the all-time age chart, between his two colleagues Lewis Hamilton (22 years, 5 months and 3 days in Canada 2007) and Kimi Raikkonen (23 years 5 months and 6 days in Malaysia 2003). The current record belongs to Fernando Alonso, who at the age of 22 years and 26 days claimed his maiden pole position in Hungary 2003.
