Good stuff, but I would say that when a driver fails to compelte a lap due to crashing or spinning, that should be considered as a defeat for them, whereas cases of one driver having a mechanical failure shouldn't be taken as adefeat for them.
Note that the gaps given are totals, not averages. Dividing them by 7 would give an accurate impression of the race-by-race gaps. You can throw a blanket over the Toyota, McLaren, Sauber and Williams gaps (Montoya's usually been just a bit better, but better) - only Jordan, Ferrari and Jaguar are really wide consistantly, ebcause Malaysia distorts Alonso's figures.
