RECAP SCROLL TO BEGIN

2011 / VETTEL

A scrolling recap of 2011 in six acts. The champion, the constructor, the bump chart, and the race-by-race podiums.

ACT 1 CUMULATIVE TRAJECTORY

The points reel out, race after race.

Every line is a driver's running championship total. The heaviest three at the top are the ones who mattered. Sebastian Vettel closed the year on 392 points, a 122-point gap over P2.

ACT 2 CONSTRUCTORS

Two-car teams, one trophy.

The constructors' championship is a different game — both cars score. A team can win it with consistent doubles even when neither driver leads the standings. Red Bull–Renault ended on 650 points.
