Well, you mentioned Hajar there.
The one I was going to pick out was Max Verstappen, who's 12th in your standings with just 19 points.
And were we to make Ed do a rank all the drivers for the season so far, it would not look like this because there's weekends where if you end up 11th to 22nd, you all get zero.
So it's not really a fair reflection.
I mean, looking at Max, yes, he had a 21st in Miami, but he had a 10th
in China and an 11th in Japan.
So that's two races where he did okay and he's only got one point to show for it in the rankings that we've got here.
Ed, I suspect that as we do these over the coming races, Max is probably going to move up that order, isn't he?
And Paul Valtteri Bottas, before we finish, the only driver yet to have appeared in a top 10 for you.
So he's the only driver stuck on zero points.
And to be honest, just having a quick look at the numbers, Valtteri's not been that close.
He's had a 12th, which he got in China.
But the rest of the time, he's been nowhere near the points, sadly.
So if that doesn't call for a Valtteri Bottas sympathy corner, I don't know what does.
Red Bull was flying high in the early part of the 2010 F1 season with drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel tied at the top of the standings, having won three of the opening six races.
Another win seemed to be on the cards as they ran first and second in the Turkish Grand Prix.
But instead, we got the first major flashpoint between two drivers who would continue to have a strained relationship during their time in the same garage as they collided while battling for the lead at Istanbul Park, handing a 1-2 to the chasing McLarens.
Red Bull then seemed to make the situation worse by handling the fallout really badly, while McLaren had their own misunderstanding to fix after the race as well, as their cars nearly collided while battling for the lead a few laps later.
Welcome to Bring Back V10's latest detour into the V8 era.
as we look back on everything that was going on around the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix.
