[What's Burning?]

OK....Assuming this is like because I answered the previous question I get to ask one, here i my question:

What do Nelson Piquet, Emerson Fittapaldi, Jackie Stewart, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Mario Andretti and Sebastian Vettel all have in common?



*This is my first go at this so apologies if this is appallingly easy.*

Since it's appallingly easy I'll try to do it without the use of the interwebs. So throwing out a guess here, they've all won WDC... no silly not just that. They've all won a WDC while also winning the most amount of races for that year.

They all won WDC as #5? (and I only guessed that because I wrote a post some time back about how lucky #5 has been)

Well done!

As you probably know the No.5 has been more successful than even the No.1 has been in carrying a driver to the Championship. This however is likely to change if Vettel can triumph over Alonso in 2011 as it will level the score at 10 Championships apeice.

Whats interesting to note is that 2 Finns Rosberg and Raikkonen both won their Championships in the No.6 and but for mere quirks could easily have been driving the No.5 as well.

Finally on this Numbers thing Alain Prost 3 x a WDC in the No.2 proving that some Number 2 drivers are rather special

[spankyham]

Amongst his many records, Michael Schumacher has driven the most races with a particular engine - 180 with Ferrari engines.

Who has the 2nd most, what manufacturer and how many races with that engine?
