#4 Max Verstappen mirrors his dad Jos Verstappen
Max Verstappen collided with Esteban Ocon which screwed over his chances of winning the Brazilian Grand Prix. Ocon, a backmarker, while faster on fresher rubber was trying to unlap himself. The last time a backmarker crashed into the race leader was in 2001 when Williams’s Juan Pablo Montoya found himself being taken out by Jos Verstappen in an Arrows.
#5 A point for everyone
In a silly season that saw a huge shuffling of the drivers for 2019, amazingly all 20 drivers who took to the grid for the first race in Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne for the first race also raced in the final race at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Incredibly, all 20 drivers competing in 2018 also managed to score points - which is the first instance in F1 history.
#6 Wooden spoon for Williams Racing
Williams scraped up just 7 points the whole season. It is safe to say Williams only participated and not competed this season. Having made developmental errors early, they effectively wrote off this campaign. The British outfit finished dead last in the constructors’ championship for the first time in their F1 history. The once mighty had truly fallen.
#7 Alonso whitewashes Stoffel Vandoorne
Vandoorne is no slouch but he just couldn’t find a way to beat Fernando Alonso in qualifying -ending up being whitewashed 21-0, at every race this year. Alonso while crediting this to his forays in other formats increasing his all-round skills, was also the last driver to perform the last whitewash in F1 – outqualifying Nelson Piquet Jr. 18-0 in 2008 at Renault.
