Red Bull Crazy Stats GP China 2018
17.04.2018
W e don't want to tempt you into risky bets. But when Daniel Ricciardo starts a Formula 1 race outside of the top three starting positions, you always have to expect everything. 'Somehow it always gets exciting when I win,' beamed the Shanghai winner on the podium in disbelief. The figures for this statement speak for themselves: In his 6 Grand Prix victories, the Red Bull driver started from positions 6,4,5,4,10 and 6 respectively.
Ricciardo only wins from behind
A few minutes before, no one could have suspected that the Australian raced from 6th place to the top within just 9 laps in the second half of the race. Even before the start, only a few experts trusted the man from Perth to perform the hussar piece. Anyone who bet on a Ricciardo victory in time got back 50 times their stake. For comparison: A successful bet on Pole man Sebastian Vettel would only have brought one and a half times the stake.

Kimi continues to collect trophies - but no winner's trophies.
We also cannot recommend a bet on Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn has now expanded his incredible series of winless races into the three-digit range. You can't even say that he always has no chance. After all, the Iceman has collected 23 small trophies for places 2 and 3 since the last success. But in the Ferrari it just doesn't want to jump to the top step of the podium.
If you want to know which curious Formula 1 record Raikkonen has cracked, then take a look at Crazy Stats in the picture gallery. There you will also find out which record Lewis Hamilton Räikkönen has taken. And what unique series Nico Hülkenberg was able to expand in Shanghai.
