VODAFONE McLAREN MERCEDES 2007 SEASON IN NUMBERS
The 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix on the 21st October marked
the end of the first season for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
partnership. The partnership was introduced in spectacular
style at the team’s launch in Valencia on the 15th January
2007 and since then has been very successful. With all the
racing finished for another year it is time to reflect on
the numbers that have made up this extraordinary season.
- The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team has won a total of
eight races this season, with Fernando winning in Malaysia,
Monaco, Italy and the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring
and Lewis winning his first ever Grand Prix in Canada, following
that up a week later with a consecutive win at the US Grand
Prix and also scoring victories in Hungary and Japan.
- Of those eight wins a total of four have been one-two
victories for the team.
The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes drivers have racked up a total
of eight pole positions between them and have monopolised
the front row of the grid on four separate occasions.
- The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes drivers have completed a
total of 5,340 racing kilometres in the 2007 season, 2,410kms
of which have been whilst leading a race.
- A total of 24 champagne bottles have been presented to

- A total of 218 points have been scored between Fernando
and Lewis this season. More than any other combination of

Mercedes drivers in 2007.
