Ritchie Ginter's record
I read that Rithie Ginter once ran a full season in the 60s without retiring once. I know that there were often only 9 races per season then, but could MS equal this record by finishing all 17 races this season? Alesi nearly did it last year, so you never know.

The difference back then was that there was only, maybe 10 races a season instead of 17, so its a very difficult record to break. But sadly, I think he might be the man to do it. What about the rest of the field? Who else has finished every race thus far? There must be someone. Webber has I think?

no not quite DNQ , Webber DNF'ed in Malaysia due to a 20c part , but other than that yes he has finished every race.
and Michael could just do it , and I was hoping Alesi would do it last year but sadly that didnt happen , but Michael has the Skill and the technical back up behind him to do it and in a way I sort of hope he does do it as it would be good to see. |

I believe the season Yoong is talking about is 1963 when Ginther drove for BRM.

Completing 10 races in a row as Ginther did is probably a more realistic target, and one which Schumacher is one race away from (not sure how Ginther finished 1962 or started 1964 though, fair also to point out that Ginther didn't win any of the races in question.

Might I point out that Alesi nearly did it last year until taken out by Kimi in the Japanese GP.
