Pre-GP Stats Analysis: China
As we head into Formula One's fifth Chinese Grand Prix, autosport.com assesses all the facts and figures you'll need to know when watching the action at Shanghai
A fifty-race drought
The last race won by an Italian driver is the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix and thus Italy faces a winning drought that will reach 50 races in China this weekend if the race isn't won by Jarno Trulli or Giancarlo Fisichella.
This is not the longest dearth of wins for Italy. From the 1966 US Grand Prix to the 1975 German Grand Prix, Italy went 113 races without a win. Vittorio Brambilla ended the drought at the Austrian Grand Prix in 1975, but then another winless streak began and this lasted exactly 100 races before Riccardo Patrese won for Brabham at Monte Carlo in 1982.
