F1 Driver Rankings

For various reasons I failed to post rankings after Melbourne.

GPs - number of GPs counted for each driver (from the last 100)
PP - number of Pole Positions (in the last 100)
W - number of wins (in the last 100)
FL - number of Fastest Laps (in the last 100)
Points - these are my points, allocated for many & various things, not
just wins, poles, f.laps, etc.
[Change] - the change in points as a result of the most recent race

Numbers in brackets [] in second column indicate table positions
before adding the most recent GP.

First race (GP #1) - Canadian GP, 10 June 2001
Last race (GP #100) - Malaysian GP, 08 April 2007

** - current drivers

The above is a snapshot of the last 100 Grands Prix and isn't really a
ranking of "current" ability. It has been suggested that a better
ranking of current drivers would be based on the last twelve months.
I have therefore decided to post three more lists using similar scoring
but only counting races within the last 52, 104 and 156 weeks. I will
limit these tables to the top 20 drivers only, but will include the
current drivers who are outside the top 20.
