Bottom post of the previous page:
Felipe Massa has finished in the points at 50% of the Brazilian GPs following his retirement and has cried at 100% of them.
Since Lewis Hamilton became a 4-time world champion, both Felipe Massa and Rubens Barrichello have appeared on the podium more times than Lewis.

But Jabouille clinched it at home in France, at a time where there were no other turbo cars.
Also Jabouille was considered a good testing driver but a weak racing driver. I guess he disproved his critics there and then.
