Stat attack: Spain (post-race)

Did you know that last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix was won by the smallest margin since the race moved from Jerez to the Circuit de Catalunya? Michele Merlino presents the stats from Barcelona

So much for dull racing in Spain

Last weekend's race included 60 overtaking moves - more than the last nine Spanish Grands Prix combined, with the standout drivers being Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi and Renault's Nick Heidfeld, each of them making 10 moves.

There was another significant record broken at Barcelona as Jarno Trulli became the most overtaken driver in the Formula 1 World Championship since 1983. He has been passed 270 times in his career, surpassing the 262 demotions of three-time grand prix winner Thierry Boutsen.
