I don’t know if it has been discussed before statistically but i was not able to figure out on this blog or anywhere else. So i thought of gathering the data and write a piece of code to figure out which drivers have shared the podium with each other the most. Please note that it includes the data from 1984-2017 F1 seasons (including British GP 2017). I do not know if including the data before 1984 would have made the difference on the outcome. Here are the results:
Top 5:
Hamilton Vettel Rosberg 14 times
Alonso Vettel Webber 13 times
Schumacher Coulthard Heikkinen 12 times
Schumacher Barrichello Coulthard 8 times
Hamilton Rosberg Ricciardo 8 times
These results might not be accurate as they have not been verified or crosschecked.If anyone of you can cross check it, it will be great. I am also working on a statistic for 2 drivers who shared the podium the most.
