A statistical preview of Formula 1 2010

As Formula 1 2010 gets underway in Bahrain, Michele Merlino looks into the record books to find the statistical landmarks each team is approaching this year

McLaren

This year's season opener will be the first time McLaren has fielded two British drivers since Long Beach 1980 (John Watson and Stephen South). The only other instance of McLaren running two British drivers was at the 1971 British GP (Peter Gethin and Jackie Oliver).

This year McLaren also becomes the first to have two world champions side-by-side since it ran Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1989, with notorious results.
