Double world champion Hamilton has won seven. No driver has ever failed to take the title after winning eight or more races in a season. Four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel has won three races for Ferrari this season, including the most recent in Singapore last weekend. That is the same number that Michael Schumacher won in his first season at Ferrari in 1996. Vettel now has 42 career wins and is third on the all-time list, behind Schumacher (91) and Alain Prost (51). Hamilton is on 40 and Fernando Alonso 32. Kimi Raikkonen has won 20 races, Jenson Button 15 and Rosberg 11. One more win for Hamilton would equal the career tally of the late Brazilian triple champion Ayrton Senna, his boyhood idol. Ferrari have won 224 races, McLaren 182, Williams 114 and Red Bull 50. Mercedes have won 39. McLaren have not won for 51 races, a run that dates back to Brazil 2012 and is the team's worst since they went 53 races without a win between the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix and 1981 British GP. - - HAMILTON VS SENNA VS VETTEL - THE NUMBERS Hamilton Senna Vettel Races started 161 161 152 Wins 40 41 42 Poles 49 65 46 Podiums 81 80 75 Titles 2 3 4 Front row starts 84 87 70 Fastest laps 25 19 24 - - POLE POSITION Mercedes saw their run of 23 poles in a row end in Singapore last Sunday, one short of the record of 24 set by Williams in 1992-93. Hamilton has been on pole in 11 of 13 races this season. The Briton has 49 career poles, Rosberg 16. Vettel's pole in Singapore was his first for Ferrari and 46th of his career. It was also the Italian team's first since Germany with Alonso in 2012. The last non-Mercedes pole before last weekend was Austria last year, with Felipe Massa for Williams. Only two drivers in F1 history have had 50 poles or more - Michael Schumacher (68) and Senna (65). Hamilton's run of seven successive poles and 19 front row starts ended in Singapore. - - PODIUM Nine drivers from five teams have been on the podium in 2015: Hamilton, Rosberg (Mercedes), Vettel, Raikkonen (Ferrari), Valtteri Bottas, Felipe Massa (Williams), Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) and Romain Grosjean (Lotus). Hamilton, Rosberg and Vettel have shared the podium in six races. Singapore was the first time since Spain 2013, 46 races ago, that two Ferrari drivers had been together on the podium and second time in 2015 with no Mercedes driver in the top three. - - JAPAN Ferrari have not won at Suzuka since Schumacher in 2004. Vettel has won four of the last six Japanese Grands Prix. He has also been on pole in four of six. Only Schumacher (six times) has won more Japanese GPs. Hamilton (2007 and 2014), Alonso (2006 and 2008), Button (2011) and Raikkonen (2005) are all past winners in Japan. In 26 races at Suzuka, the winner has come from the front row on 22 occasions and been on pole in 12. Raikkonen is the standout exception, winning from 17th on the grid in 2005. Five of the last 10 winners have started on pole. There have been 30 Japanese Grands Prix since 1976, four of them at Fuji. - - MILESTONE Sunday's race will Max Verstappen's last as a 17-year-old. The Toro Rosso driver turns 18 on Sept 30. Alonso's retirement in Singapore was his sixth of the season -- the same number he had in five seasons with Ferrari between 2010 and 2014.
